Overview: The synopsis describes what happens in the "new series" (Season 29). It mentions the team driving EVs and ICE cars. Features include team tests and shootouts. Hosts are Jason Plato and Vicki Butler-Henderson. Additional members are Rory Reid, Grace Webb (ex-Top Gear presenter), and Jimmy de Ville (engineering ace).
Word Count Check: The synopsis is very short. I need to expand it to 160-220 words using only the provided facts.
Problem: The provided text is extremely sparse. Expanding it to 160-220 words without inventing details is impossible. If I strictly follow "never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess," I cannot reach the 160-word minimum if the source material doesn't support it.
Wait: The prompt says "factual 160-220 word summary". If the source is too short, I have a conflict. However, as an archivist, I must prioritize the "ONLY verifiable facts" and "never invent" rules.
