"Anyway I was hoping TG America would be at a proper track like Laguna Seca (Test Drive use that track quite a bit). It would've made it just a bit more relatable for me. But I guess it wouldn't work unless they were able to build a big set garage at the track."



That my friend would be a dream come true! Seeing as how I live 10 minutes away from Laguna Seca and am friends with some of the driving instructors at the Skip Barber there. You would see me in the audience of every episode in that case, haha.

LMAO!!! Great!! The sad thing is that it is true...


Above ^ ^ ^ ^ What about the East Coast version aka Virginia International Raceway (VIR)...Just have to say we def. have a longer track with much higher speeds (not to hate on Laguna Seca...anyone that knows me knows that is my favorite track...we just have to leave everything up to the vehicles...not the track).

Actually, this will be the test track, and only 2 corners!

You could build a great figure of 8 track there - so many possibilities. The track could easily be better than the TG one with so many possibilities available. Here is hoping. ...

Build a nascar track. "Our track is designed to test a cars ability to drive in a straight line and turn around wide left hand corners to the limit "

Could also be in New York, Canada, or Mexico.
California also has the most boring oval on the Sprint Cup circuit.

How funny would it be that the only way Clarkson would the US make a Top Gear is if they made a 20ft statue of him.

Looking forward to seeing the pilot
