Top Gear for GT TV Confirmed. Test track included in the game!!

"Polyphony Digital today announced that the company has signed a deal with BBC Worldwide to allow users to view episodes of the popular motoring show Top Gear through the PlayStation 3.

Gamers can watch up to 40 episodes of the popular Television series, run by the ever exuberant trio of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, via the new Gran Turismo TV Channel, which is set to launch next year.

The BBC also revealed that the infamous test-track featured in the programme would be included in Gran Turismo 5, allowing players to race a variety of machines around the course in a similar mould to Top Gear's very own motoring legend, 'The Stig'.

Polyphony Digital's Kazunori Yamauchi commented, "We're sure that players will be as thrilled as we are when they get the chance to put their own driving skills to the test on the Top Gear Test Track in GT5, as well as enjoying classic episodes of Top Gear via GT TV." Gran Turismo 5 will be released in North America and Europe some time in 2008; stay tuned for more coverage as it breaks."

That is a great feature.

Do alot of other contries get Top Gear?

Anyone else gonna dress up like The Stig and pretend to be him when they're playing? No? Just me then? Oops...BZSIN

I WILL I WILL!!!!

Do you reckon the Suzuki Liana or Chevrolet Lacetti will feature? Then you can do A Star in a Reasonably Priced Car!AliasUK

?? I would say 700 or so cars. Not sure which ones thow. But they have hinted the bikes will be in 5 maybe also.

Don't like Jeremy Clarkson and James May much, they make the show entertaining along with Richard Hammond. However the show is entertaining and that's about it because many of their reviews are biased. They are correct in many things but the bias is too much to ignore sometimes*.

5th gear imho is better, but i like The Stig.

I can't wait to drive in the same track . I call "The Stig" username!!!!

*Cadillac XLR they liked everything about it and performance but found stupid excuses to dislike it
