Default top gear idea...(our own track board)

dont people think it would be good if anybody could take there car around the top gear track, and have our own track board?

instead of the ferrari's etc, would be cosworths and rs turbos etc, not just fords but anythink thats nippy to be honest...

i think they would get alot more views aswell...

not sure how someone would go about asking them but i think its a good idea..

i dont think its likely to happen though. i think i prefer seeing the ferraris etc going around rather than some shonky old fords.
fords will be more popular for the ford scene right enough but every other car scene wouldnt really be as interested.

As a member of the public you can go on & get access to the top gear track but you will be looking at £200+ to do so via a driving training/experience as i've done it with my Exige

The circuit is mainly used by Plans Motorsport who tune & race Lotus & Noble's & use the track for all their test & setup but also offer driving tuition via themselves at the circuit

no i mean the show as usual with the ferrari's etc, but then say tonight we have fred perry (for example) trying his 2.0 nova around our track..

i think it would be pretti kool, as then you can actually see what normal cars can do compare to supercars..

its not just fords thats why i said "not just fords"

novas
corsas
astras
rs turbos (fiesta/escort)
cosworths
civic type r's (old shape aswell)
renault 5 turbos

etc etc etc

like all the older cars...
