It is, but there's a workaround. What you need to do is drive at the right time and check back with the guys at GTPlanet.net. They have fixed times at when to enter the races, so you'll be racing with a bunch of very clean, fair and fast guys.

I have to say that the GTTV addon is GREAT! Not too many Top Gear programs for download, but at 99c each foir two weeks it's not a bad thing. Besides watiching Clarkson sitting in a Ford GT as a background for the game it's pure Win

EDIT: I took some pictures of the new GTTV menu:

Best Motoring, Video Option and the Gran Turismo stuff are subtitled. The Best Motoring episode have the GT-R in a race against the Gallardo Superleggera, NSX-R, 911 Turbo and 911 GT3.

How 'bout the quality? Top Gear is not in HD I suppose?

I don't think Top Gear is i HD it is around 900 mb for 50 min. It's probably the same as when it was aired.

I haven't had time to watch the full Top Gear episode yet as it's one of my favourite ones and I wanted to watch the Ferrari and Super GT documentaries first.

The Ferrari Documentary shows how Yamauchi-san has become Jampan`s Clarkson as he tried to do a documentary with some sort of Top Gear vibe. Of course everything is filmed in a very japanese way of politeness and respect as they give us a tour from Modena (City) to Maranello and the ferrari road cars factory. Engines, trims, chassis, even a little forest inside the factory is shown. It's a shame it's a 3 part documentary and it feels short. But it's definetly worth a download to any Ferrari fan.

The Super GT 2007 season review is just epic. It takes you throughout all the season giving you the most important bits from each of the 9 races. It follows both the GT300 and GT500 classes and how they fight to get the championship. The documentary it's full of very good moments, specially one where three cars (2 NSX's and a Lexus SC) run alongside the straight at the same speed trying to get to first place. Nissan Z's, NSX's, Lexus SC's, Tommy Kayra's, Porsches, MR2's and many more are featured in this season review. It's quite a long documentary so it's worth the money. Highly recommended to anyone interested in GT racing or specially Japanese cars.

Well!! Here are the reviews of the two documentaries I downloaded alongside Top Gear. Both are great but I highly recommend the Super GT one. It's worth a watch for only 99c

Well!!

After some months of no updates at all Polyphony decided to give us a present in form of new intro to the game. It seems like polyphony wats to change the intro of the game every month so we will have something different to see. Last month was the Jaguar XKR's intro. And this month it's about the Audi R8. And boy what a new intro! Two Audi R8's racing each other inside what it seems to be some sort of Airport parking. Awesome!

It has to be seen

^How awesome is that?

And for the sceptics, this is made with the game graphics engine (No CG).
