Rep Power: 14  |  Top Gear At Silverstone Just listening to Midweek Motorsport, and they mentioned the an entry for the Britcar 24hrs. Check out the entry list, #78 (.pdf). So putting 2 & 2 together, Top Gear have entered a BMW 330 Dti Sport!!! |

Rep Power: 25  | Diesel though? I think the last type of car they would enter would be a diesel on the basis of Jeremy's hatred towards them. Would be pretty awesome I must say if it is the case however! |

Rep Power: 13  | Very interesting. 78 is a good guess, also could be #18, i know it has a sponsor no drivers announced & GT3RS car, beloved by TG. But if they are really there, it's probably 78th. Great find. And the fact, that the category they applied in is "Class 4 - Diesel Green" makes it interesting. Richard is the only of those 3 who has a Racing Licence, i guess JC & May had to get one of those too. Wud be great fun.

Rep Power: 13 | I can just see the racing-driver-excuses coming. RH: "Yes, I know I crashed! But it was because Jeremy moved the seat so far back I couldnt reach the pedals properly." JC: "You know that Schumacher bloke? He occasionally crashed too!" JM: (crashing into a tyre wall) "Oh cock!" And a nice intro to the segment: JC: "Get ready for a full 24 hours of POWEEEEEEERRR... in a economic diesel! |

Rep Power: 18  | It doesn't seem like TG to enter a diesel but then again they wouldn't be so normal to enter something like BMW M3. We'll find out soon enough Could be Fifth Gear seeing as they are a bunch of racing drivers. |

Car: First Aberdeen Bus Network Rep Power: 17 | I'd lean more towards Fifth Gear doing this, although it would be a hell of a lot funnier if Top Gear did it.

Car: 1997 VW Golf MkIII CL, Giant OCR 3 Rep Power: 55 | Hmmmmm, it really could be either. COuld be TG doing a "How hard can it be?" type challenge and having a red hot go, or it could be Plato, VBH and Tiff (now that'd be a team to beat!!) going out there and going for gold.

Rep Power: 14 | Its 99.9% Top Gear. Fifth Gear are usually run by Tiff's brother, with Barwell Motorsport. They are running Mark Lemmer and James Kaye in an Integra, no mention of anyone else, yet. |

Well what about the Jag they took round the 'Ring? They could be doing something like that. That being said, I feel compelled to state that this might be a spoiler thread. Maybe.... Sort of.... -ish.

Car: 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E (W201) Rep Power: 65 | I have a feeling this might be where they will be using their self-made biodiesel. It's in the "GREEN" category afterall. Great find!

Car: Toyota MR2 Mk1, Toyota MR2 Mk1 SC, Peugeot 309 Rep Power: 19 |  It's Top Gear. Look at the online entry list: http://eerc.co.uk/cms/news.php?item.500 Quote:
Shame I'm not in the country that weekend as Silverstone is just down the road from me (well - ish) and it should be an awesome day.
__________________ Yup, two too many cars, but I love 'em: 1991 Peugeot 309 - owned it for four years, currently the only runner and the daily driver... but great fun to drive! French though, so gotta treat her rough to keep her happy. 1989 Toyota MR2 Mk1 - owned it for two years. Love it loads. Currently undergoing a suspension upgrade... 1987 Toyota MR2 Mk1 SC - A project car that had Headgasket issues when I bought it. I've never driven it... yet... | |
