New presenter on 5th Gear?

TJP · July 14th, 2008, 07:39 AM

Was reading a UK GT-R forum and came across a potential spoiler: 5th Gear have tested the GT-R against a Porsche 997 Turbo at Anglesey.

The big news is that the guy testing the cars wasn't a 5th Gear regular, but the nephew of one of the greatest drivers ever to race in F1.

You can read the story for yourself here

Cheers.

I'm thinking guest host. They do that a lot.

Hmmm yeah I would guess that its one of there celebrity segments, at least they've got someone interesting though!

TJP · July 14th, 2008, 12:38 PM

The site I linked to states he's the new driver/presenter, so who knows.

We'll all find out soon enough images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Cheers.

Bruno Senna is a leading GP2 driver. I doubt he has the time to be a regular presenter.

if he did...

Needell-Plato-Senna face off!!

haha not really images/smilies/sad.gif

would be interesting though.

Senna? i don't think he would be allowed to be a regular host, Tiff would be jealous of his driving

i was hoping they replaced VBH, oh well

That would be nice, but i think she has too many leg humping fans that would tune out if she was replaced.

Strange that they would a contributor off a rival show. Bruno is sometimes on that awful Vroom Vroom (Sky1)

At least its not another Gayjoy.

All of VB-H's Anglesey shoot-out pieces in the last series appeared to have been shot in one day. I suppose they could have done the same with Senna.

Moved from 14x02 thread to it's own thread and then into this thread. -Viper

i have news for the [14x03] August 25th, 2008 top gear. but no one created a thread for it yet.
forgive me for the wrong thread (but i cant create new ones :O).

5th gear couldn't get a GTR from Nissan GB, so tues/Weds this week white R went all the way up to Anglesey track for a VS Porsche 997 Turbo. Having seen some best motoring Japan vids and what car mag & evo did, I told them to get a Carrera GT down there but they couldn't make it happen

Aug 25th. watch it. as you can imagine i can't say who won (duh), times or post certain pics. But will say their new driver / presenter is Bruno Senna, Nephew of the late and great Ayrton, and soon to be next hot propperty in F1 (next year).

Bruno drove the GTR HARD all day long (new endless brakes on route), 100mph powerslides in pretty heavy rain, the guy can seriously drive and loved the car

Hopfully will make enjoyable viewing (despite the heavy rain), more so than when Jason drove, who we all know is a Porsche owner & lover.

They have moved base from acecafe to Millbrooke... so expect some regular top gear esq lap times round proving ground
Does anyone have a nice R35 they'd be willing to put on 5th gear in sept, just a static intro. white R will likely be going Athens tuning show so not available. Contact the guy in the source thread:

Just start your own thread in the generic Fifth Gear section next time. images/smilies/wink.gif

But anyway, that should be an epic shootout. images/smilies/ohmy.gif

Ah yes, we've already seen this over here

Viper007Bond · August 6th, 2008, 07:21 AM

Ah, okay, moving again.
