Today I was going through some racetracks on google earth when I searched for Donington Park. When the image finally loaded I was surprised to see a single car on the main straight, a Caterham. I found it odd to see just a single car on the track so I decided to search for some more. When I came to the back straight where a KTM and three-wheeled car were racing with a crane truck following them. I then remembered that there had been a TopGear episode where Jeremy, James, and Hammond had been testing out these same cars.

After some research, I came to a conclusion that this must be them as the photos are from late 2011 and the episode aired in march 2012. Here are the images and here is the link to google maps.

I'm bored at work looking at motorcycle videos on YouTube and I remember watching an episode where they did a distance challenge and Richard Hammond rode an old Triumph Bonneville (I believe). It started raining and he had to pull over in a gas station. Does anyone remember what episode this is? I've searched and I cannot find it.

I was always a big TG/GT fan but this year I absolutely missed S24 of Top Gear. I started watching and I'm totally blown away by how great it is compared to last years disappointment.

It actually reminds me of the classic Top Gear. When it was about cars and not just about 3 presenters acting childish.

Anyone knows where I could buy a full set of the series in digital format? I don't want DVDs.

Would have to be available in Canada.
