Car: 21 laps of the 'ring Rep Power: 16  |  New location or not? search yielded no results, has Top Gear found a new location or what? I would have thought it would have been discussed here if it had. Still at the old location?

Car: Dodge Viper (I wish!) Rep Power: 237   | Not sure to be honest. Last I heard, their lease was up and the airfield was being turned into a housing development.

Car: 21 laps of the 'ring Rep Power: 16 | Yeah, and since I heard that I have heard nothing. Maybe they extended the lease? Or THIS is the last series to be shot there?

Car: 2004 Chrysler PT Turbo; 1985 Toyota 4Runner Rep Power: 42 | Or maybe they're building an exact replica on the Isle of Man.

Car: 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE 3.3L LFS Status:  Rep Power: 16 | You know what I think? I think they should stay at Dunsfold for just the next series and move onto a new one for series 11 on. So it would be like 5 years at one place (Dunsfold) and another five years at another place. So Top Gear would be one of those legendary shows that runs for 10 years (or even more.) And BTW maybe a new location will add some freshness to Top Gear.

Car: 2004 Chrysler PT Turbo; 1985 Toyota 4Runner Rep Power: 42 | I fear for the PowerLap Board. It would be nice for TopGear to still care about cars and credibility to some degree.

Rep Power: 15  | After series 9 ended, in his column, Clarkson said, that they too much depend on celebrities & he'd like to see more car-show stuff. Maybe they've come up with smth new.

But we do indeed have some staff lurkers here. I've been in contact with a couple, some of which shared behind the scenes photos with me.
