The final turn is called "Gambon." The video clearly shows Gambon going up on two wheels in the last turn just before crossing the finish line. And Clarkson even refers to the turn as "your corner" during Gambon's second appearance on the show. For the record, the second to last turn is frequently called "The Second to Last Corner."
