Rep Power: 11 | I am so incredibly excited and doubly nervous about this episode. The expectations are HUGE for this one. There isn't a single segment that couldn't be THE PRIME segment in any other episode in the series so far. Hot stars, hot cars, lots of cocking about. This is primed to be THE Top Gear Episode of the year if not all the episodes since the restart. And I really wish I could bring my expectations down a bit in case things aren't pure gold all the way through. But I can't. The 8C is almost as sexy as the news readers and the GT-R is just the beans and it's packed into a Top Gear race which have been pretty epic in the past. I cannot wait. |

Car: 156 GTA LFS Status:  Rep Power: 11 | There is no way the car can win in japanese traffic. I am living in japan now, studying japanese, I have driven from Tokyo to osaka, that 500 KM Drive to osaka took me 6 hours. and coming back took me 8 hours Why? Cause of the impossible traffic jams. Here is the GPS map of the drive  and here is the info screen telling you there is a 23KM long traffic jam at 2AM on a monday  But i dunno, this will be intresting to see. I have no idea where to where are they racing so this is kinda unfair... |

Car: Mazda RX-8 Rep Power: 0  | I agree. Driving in Japan is an exercise in frustration at times. I don't know how Jezza can do it unless the route is contrived to favour him. It will be a great episode though. |

Car: 1987 Volvo 245 DL (in bc) Rep Power: 16 | I hope its good, TG for the last while has felt heavily scripted. I hope this kind of frees that up, to me the last real good race was the SLR vs Boat one, the Veyron one was modern scripted feeling TG. I want the Season 6 magic back.

Rep Power: 0 | The Nozomi Shinkansen does 125-130 mph on average (with stops factored in). I guess they'll have to cheat heavily to make this one look close. |
