Top Gear: Could Their Big Race Challenge Be Gtr Vs ?

[Marco-R34GTT]

This looks good...

Clarkson better stay above 180kph.. Since the cop cars in Japan are only stock tune, they can't catch you, so they don't even try!

[Ryan12]

Well he better stick to the speed limit since he's in a bit of trouble for admitting he was driving 300km/h on public roads

zif clarkson pushed 300kph on a public road... he would be dead. find me a public road straight enough for long enough for this to be physically possible.

autobahns arent straight enough for that long a punch surely..?

i have seen vids of R34 GTR'S on the autobahn holding 320kmh for like 30-40 seconds so its possable but not likely clarkson can do it.

Be sure to check Final Gear for the Top Gear Season 11 Episode 4 Torrent on Monday morning.

On Sunday night, there is a race between a Nissan GT-R and a bullet train right the way across Japan.

It is extremely exciting. I think the best film we've ever made.

[Bluprint]

In 6-12 months. (Yeah, really.)

[krzysiu]

torrents are your friend... cant wait for this

[scathing]

I'd say more like 12-18 months.

We're at least a season behind, usually.

[Duncan]

I can't speak for anywhere else but there are plenty of places in the nt you can go as fast as you want as long as you want. I used to do the 100klm commute from town to the base in about 32 minutes, sitting on the speed limiter 99% of the way

[elrodeo666]

Theres plenty of places here in Japan to do 300kph..think about the 300 club for a start.Do a bit of digging around on youtube and you`ll see a few of the top car tuners having a crack. I`m not saying its safe or condoning it but it gets done and quite a bit.

Also cops here have skylines and wrx`s.

[ras1983]

[Angus Smart]

dang just downloaded the torrent and you have posted the videos!

pretty funny episode!

[pablo101]

season 11 is already out, they have shown the first 3 episodes already in the UK

the challenges aren't really anything good this time

and yea the african episode was the best, hammond actually imported his car back to the UK to keep it lol

[Amir]

he sounded a bit togue tied when describing the gtr.

[akeenan]

just watched the torrent. a little dissappointing. although found all the problems they had funny.

Both sides also had some help which I thought was a little unfair. eg jeremy didnt have to worry about paying with money on the tollways*he used the cars electronic ic card) , where as the others didnt get help with their transfers

Ive never seen those Tokyo roads that quiet in the 5 years ive been living here.

I also laughed when jeremy put the headband on his had because it was upside to start with... then in the next scene it had magically changed.

I also like seeing some of the very stations/ escalators I use each and everyday.

[baron25]

He doesn't really say much about the car. More of a commentary of Japan.

[d00dz]

aha They put the JR tix into the subway machines.

Good memories of Japan!
