Onboard with Nigel Hook and Jay Johnson during the 50th Anniversary of The Great Race - Trinidad to Tobago. Showing that they are competitors who will never, ever give up because even when down on power, wondering if they're at the back of the pack, with Tobago dead ahead, Nigel is saying [15:55]: "There's no throttle response at all, but we are pulling those guys in a little bit!
