BBC Top Gear track goes virtual on PS3

**VectraV6CDTi** · 28th October 2007, 00:38

The test track used by Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond will be recreated inside Gran Turismo 5.
Virtual drivers will be able to race the hundreds of cars licensed inside the game around the track featured in the show.

All here...

Hey Steve, do you think you'd be able to recreate a virtual VXRD to take around the virtual Top Gear test track lol

Right gotta get a PS3 now, GT is by far the best racing game and this just adds to it.

Now we will be able to see how fast a Vec VXR can go round the track!

They only use one small part of the airfield at Dunsfold for the track.....
