The best one i've seen in a while, although i knew the outcome at the 'ring as Clarkson put it in his colum in this months Top Gear.

what a fantastic circuit, 113 bends now thats what i call testing,and clarkson being shown how to drive by that girl, but she did say she had been round about 50.000 times compared to his short learning curve, wander what it would be like to drive around with the wr1, but it looked a bit hair raising trying to avoid all the other cars and bikes .

As a novice I would imagine the 'ring to be a very daunting place even if you had the track to yourself but with bikers and more experienced car drivers overtaking at the bends etc it must be nervewracking. Having said all that, imagine the adrenaline rush!!

I have to say that was one of the best top-gears for a very long while, the whole lapping the ring test was entertaining and looked a load of fun, aswell as admitting that a subaru was a good car........ so all in all a good program, fifth gear will struggle to beat that this week........ sumo
