I’m genuinely surprised they left Hammonds car out of the race. We’ve seen plenty of “he will never fix that” moments where the crew have quite clearly arrived with tools and spares off-screen.

I’d have enjoyed it if he arrived in a terrible vehicle of his own purchase instead of on foot :/
 
He said the pedal was stuck down.

There is also driving on the road with a damaged clutch, then there is what they were doing. I imagine that clutch was worked very hard hence it’s very early failure.
 
So it just wasn't touching the flywheel? I'm thinking of when it's worn and you can 'untouch' it.

Clutches work under high pressures as they are 90% all hydraulic now. If it was a cable clutch he could have bodged it but more than likely blew a line and that was that. Where are you going to get a high pressure clutch line made up in the middle of no where in Madagascar for a ford Focus. They more than likely towed the car with a 4x4 to the end.

If it's a broken line or failed slave cylinder it'll likely be permanently engaged
 
The Great Escapists spin off show with Hammond and Tory from Mythbusters. Looks like it's on the same beach they ended the special on?

I really wanted to see them do a special where all 3 split up and were paired with a celebrity (with some kind of amusing way they got to pick who they were paired with) with some kind of improvise/escape type race to the finish so this might be interesting.
