    Re: Top Gear raves about GT3 RS

    Adam, as far as I know, Top Gear TV hasn't tested the new generation of GT3's. The last test was the shootout between the 996 GT3RS and 360CS.

    Correct me anyone if I am wrong.

    Re: Top Gear raves about GT3 RS

    The closest top gear got to the gt3 rs was when hammond,may and clarkson went on their expeidition to find the best driving road in the world. Hammond drove the GT3 RS, clarkson drove the gallardo SG and May drove a stripped out DB9. Was a fantastic episode. Its from season 10, episode 1 or 2 I believe.

    Re: Top Gear raves about GT3 RS

    Correct, TG hasn't done a proper test on the GT3 or the GT3RS on the show.

    JC has crashed a GT3 in one of his videos and RH did indeed take a GT3RS to Switzerland/Italy but YouTube has removed the video recently.

    Re: Top Gear raves about GT3 RS

    There was a short video where clarkson crashed the GT3, and complained it was the car's fault. But not a full test.

    Re: Top Gear raves about GT3 RS

    The crashed GT3 was a part of Clarkson's own DVD, I don't think it was a Top Gear test.
