Here is an aerial photo of Dunsfold Park. If you know what you are looking for, you can see the Top Gear test track.

He means if you know what the track looks like from above, it's quite easy to see the track on the map.

One day - rather completely chemically impaired - I was talking about the orderly yet human-incomprehensible nature of the universe in somewhat specifically mathematical terms [as I am wont to do], and my friend H - we all have nicknames - said, and I quote, "You're not human. You don't deserve a name. You deserve a number, and your number is three two seven eight." So, that's what everyone calls me.

Jeremy said in an episode that it's about 2 miles but I never heard or found the exact length.
