This Weeks Show
It's been a while, but Top Gear is ready to snap, crackle and misfire its way back onto your telly screens on Sunday 22 June at 8pm on BBC Two. Hide the remote and set bear traps around the sofa, because this one's set to be a cracker.
In the first show of the new series, Jeremy, Richard and James dispense top tips on fuel consumption - who said they don't do proper consumer advice? - and The Stig gets back to what he does best: power testing Ferrari's awesome 430 Scuderia.
It's quicker around Maranello than the Enzo, so how will it do on the test track?
James introduces TG's newest team member, but don't worry, despite what the message boards are saying, the new character isn't replacing any of the presenters.
And the big film at the end of the show sees a new challenge being laid down for them; can they build better police cars than the real ones, while at the same time saving the taxpayers' money? They only get a thousand pounds, mind.
There's also a change to the regular Star in a Reasonably Priced Car format that sees the double team of the Sunday Night Project's Justin Lee Collins and Alan Carr trying their best to be the, erm, best.
So get your cushions plumped up and your favourite mug at the ready - or at least set your Sky+ box - for the new series of Top Gear that kicks off at 8pm on Sunday June 22 on BBC Two.

Can I just ask, when did the Top Gear special where they drove a Toyota Hilux to the North Pole screen in the UK? I just want to know how far behind you guys we are here in New Zealand.
Posted by The Lostprophet
Id say about a year ago,
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Cool thanks. That one played here last night, so I guess we're about a year behind!

And we had that one on BBC HD in 1080...

So, can I ask how the Scud did around the Top Gear test track? I understand that it generates 1.5G in cornering forces due to a combination of suspension and aerodynamic improvements so it should easily beat anything that is not a purpose-built racecar...
Posted by Caspa
cant remember the exact time, but it was slightly slower that the Enzo, maybe four tenths or so.
so not faster as it is around the Ferrari test track, or so they say!

I'm sorry, Scud?

Scud as in 430 Scuderia, also as in Scud Missile, which amounts to the same thing as both are fast!
I'm showing my age: I remember the first Gulf War well...
If the Enzo laps quicker then all I can say is that there must be some decent straights on the Top Gear track for it to stretch it's legs 'cause that Scuderia corners very well from reports I've read.
Posted by Caspa
yeah, it did look very good in the corners, the last two especially.

Yeah I should have clicked about what you meant. Surprised I didn't actually cause I've been playing GT5 Prologue for the last few days so my mind is on cars!
