In the first of a brand new series, Jeremy, Richard and James take an Aston DBS Volante, a Ferrari California and a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder to Romania in search of an obscure stretch of Tarmac that some hardcore drivers claim is the nothing less than the greatest road in the world. James compares two powerful limos, the BMW 760i and Mercedes S63 AMG. Plus, Eric Bana is the Star in the Reasonably Priced Car.
Radio Times has it listed, but as of this moment, there is no description for the episode. Interestingly, TG is listed in the 9 pm timeslot.

Will edit with the episode description when it appears, if one of the mods doesn't edit before me.

Listing link: http://www.radiotimes.com/ListingsSe...s_fullpage.jsp


Before the description goes up, would anyone care to have a guess as to what the episode will contain?

Well if my memory serves me correctly, they will either bring out the best segment they have or the worst segment in the first episode. And from what we've seen from spoilers and such, there isn't much to choose from.

Jezza said in one of his Sun columns that TG was moving to 9pm this series. It was when there was a lot in the papers about the scheduling clashes with X-Factor and he said that they'd moved to avoid clashing with the results show. I thought he was joking but maybe not..

ZR-1 vs R8 V10. Please don't let this end up the same way as the Richard bulletproof Panda segment

Also a James review would be nice

Somehow, I don't think it will be. (Clarified: I mean I don't think the segment will go the way of the bulletproof Panda piece.)

I would like to see Jason Plato interviewed, doing a lap with his Lacetti BTCC car, so that we can know how much difference it there between a S2000 car and the car it is based on.

I'm missing the R8 V10 with the ZR1 as well, as it wasn't in last series. Who knows though. I'm sure it'll be entertaining either way.

They really need to stop getting celebs to do shameless plugins.

But still, this one's a good plug at least.

Dude, it's James. Of course it'll be "proper". That said, I hope it won't be on the track.

Sounds very promising. Hopefully this'll give me a better 'Top Gear'-feeling than the last start of the series (so 13x01) did

Thanks mate. Hopefully they'll be doing a double-segment from our country, like the "best driving road" bit in S10. This might be "Best driving road - The Sequel".

P.S. This means that the December issue of TG Romania magazine will be doing a full feature on the filming in Romania. I'll try and give you a full translation of what's in it.
