Top Gear - S11 EP4 - 13th July, 2008 - Discussion
 
Quote:

Top Gear undertakes one of its epic races as Jeremy Clarkson attempts to drive the remarkable new Nissan GT-R right across Japan faster than Richard Hammond and James May can make the same journey on the legendary Bullet Train. Plus, Richard tries Toyota's idea of personal transport for the future, the sensational Alfa Romeo 8C brings some glamour to the Top Gear track and news readers Fiona Bruce and Kate Silverton are the Stars in The Reasonably Priced Car.
yay, GTR race

That episode was GREAT.

On the mountain road, the car handled surprisingly great, like a rally car in a race, and what's surprising that it did that in the hands of Jeremy, not a racing driver.


BTW, anyone knows what was that thing was... In the race, Jeremy drove out of some island looking like a ship full of highway crossings, and then went to a long bridge. What exactly was that and why did they build it? (I mean, they could make the tunnel exit right on land, couldn't they?)

It's the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line.

I don't think they'd have enough space to put the tunnel exit right on land :-)

It is very cool though :thumbup:
