i would love to see at least 10 episode.

I'm assuming you're talking about Ferrari's test track.

Current F1 car : 58 sec.
Current FXX 1min 18sec.
Enzo : 1min 25sec.
F430: 1min 27sec.

No mention of the F50 GT1.

The 430 is two seconds faster than the Enzo around Fiorano? No way.

Sorry, my fault. All I had in my head as I made the post was the 2 second difference. Post corrected to show a time of 1.27sec.

still, only two seconds slower then the Enzo, good stuff.

Well thats good. I gues this also means that it'll be a LONG season (if they do a show every week until the end of the year that is...)

GREAT!

Top Gear will be the same as it was in Series 9. They are after ratings & money, their segments became expensive. The fact is, that on sunday night, ppl wud rather watch a funny show featuring cars, than a car-show with bits of humour & a lot of automotive info in it.

Think so?

I thought series 9 was rushed together cos of Richards crash, and now that they skipped a series, they have had time to re-evaluate the show and prepare for a 10 episode series on a S7 scale.

So they sold out. Oh well, it was good while it lasted. I guess I'll just watch more VivaLaBam, they do stupid shit with cars too.
