We thought it unfair on FIFA to damage the viewing figures for the World Cup by pitting Fifth Gear head to head in the schedules with some big games, so the show won't be back on air until Monday July 3rd, 8pm on five. In the meantime, we'll be chanting Eng-ger-land, as well as working on some of the biggest features we've ever done. We'll be going to even more extreme lengths to test whether the engine on our beloved old Merc really is bomb-proof...testing the suspension of the Citroen C6 using professional gunmen (sure beats horse-racing), seeing which bit of a car burns best, giving the definitive verdict on Honda's new magic handling system, frightening pensioners as we set a record in a people carrier, watching Tiff nearly kill himself in a bid to beat a hard-as-nails Dakar racer in an off-road race, plus the most amazing supercar head to head anybody's ever conceived of.

I thought I had seen a test with the ascari KZ1 in a trailer, will it be used in the supercar head to head maybe?

plus the most amazing supercar head to head anybody's ever conceived of.

I wonder what it will be

I just hope they won't f... the test up like they did for the M6 ...

Hm most amazing supercar. What could that be

I doubt they got their hands on a Veyron though...

Being that I played it for 15 years, I can understand why people love soccer so much, and it's no surprise at all that the world cup is the most watched event in the world. It's the greatest sport in the world, nothing else even comes close. End of story.

too bad it still sucks

of course, i'm serious
