Default Vikki will test F430 Challenge in season9


Jason tested the F430 in Series 6 and Tiff tried out the F430 Spider in Series 8. But coming up in Series 9, it's Vicki's turn - in the F430 Challenge. To get one up on the boys VBH goes racing at the Ferrari playground, the Fiorano test track near Maranello. Only about 100 of the specialist Challenge race cars will be made and VBH is the first and only person outside the factory to be allowed to drive one. Look out for the new series of Fifth Gear to find out how she gets on...
- Fifth Gear

Looking forward for this episode.

Topgear definitely has a higher budget. That said, 5th Gear seems to have a better relationship with Ferrari (recall the Enzo and 430 test)

I'm not very fond of fifith gear but having said that they do test the cars much earlier enzo murcielago zonda f430 and the ascari kz1 which top gear only managed to test in the last series. But topgear has tested the veyron and they test cars more extensively and jeremy's opinions on them are quite amusing.

Totally agree

It's probably part of the politically correct brigade's fair car testing usage program or something! :roll: Their loss, makes their program lose appeal.
