!!! TOP GEAR is moving !!!
Not in a hurry of course. But it seems like Jezza is ditching Dunsfold Aerodrome for Enstone Airfield. So expect to see the new Top Gear base in Series 7 of Top Gear, if not Series 6.

Does that mean they will get rid of the Top Gear track and have to start all over again with their powerlap times? :cry:
|
they need one closer to jeremy house, because with the GT40 he won't have enough fuel to get to work :P
intresing, wonder what the new facilitys will look like, and this also ensure's BBC intends to keep top gear going for a while! |

It's kind of cool that they are moving but the thing about the track is that most airports have very similar runways so it might be possible that they could recreate the track at the new location.

i'm really hoping that they would retest all cars of course, all with the same stig and hopefully in nice dry conditions to keep them consistant. i think possessed_beaver is right on the money about the Ford GT comment, it would cost Jeremy a fortune to drive to work, i bet, so its only natural to move Top Gear closer to the most important presenter. |
mayb they can make a better track? :D
|
Hmmm...they won't be doing the laptimes again, they'll probably just duplicate the current track. Afterall it was designed by Lotus. I hope the new track has a longer runway :twisted: Good for highspeed runs :twisted:
|
Hm... interesting. I wonder why they decided to do this? Hopefully they'll have a new and improved track, and yes, ideally, get all those cars back to do slightly more fair power lap times. Thanks for the update and the pics of the airfields (btw, talk about middle of nowhere surrounded by fields. cool countryside.)
|
thats a good thing .... we'll get a chance to see all the suer cars again :P :P .... :twisted:
|
I doubt they would bring all the cars back, and trying to re-create the course would be difficult. I think they will just either start over, or go back to the old track for lap times.
I think its good he can now afford to drive his GT to work :mrgreen: |
interesting,but we cant compare old hot laps
|
Thnaks for the info, lets indeed hope for a longer runway :twisted: also does 20 days a year use seem a bit short to anyone else?? organising all the cars and cramming the filming in to those 20 days a year will be difficult surely?
