New Series Fifth Gear: Bruno Senna GTR VS 997 Turbo - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Benji Linney GTC · 13th July 2008, 06:57 PM

The new series of Fifth Gear starts in 3 weeks time (week after tg finishes funnily enough)

As many know Northone like to do vs tests on track and this series will be no exception.

5th gear couldn't get a GTR from Nissan GB, so tues/Weds this week white R went all the way up to Anglesey track for a VS Porsche 997 Turbo. Having seen some best motoring Japan vids and what car mag & evo did, I told them to get a Carrera GT down there but they couldn't make it happen

Aug 25th. watch it. as you can imagine i can't say who won (duh), times or post certain pics. But will say their new driver / presenter is Bruno Senna, Nephew of the late and great Ayrton, and soon to be next hot propperty in F1 (next year). I believe this is the first time its been mentioned anywhere, as its not on google etc..

Bruno drove the GTR HARD all day long (new endless brakes on route), 100mph powerslides in pretty heavy rain, the guy can seriously drive and loved the car

Hopfully will make enjoyable viewing (despite the heavy rain), more so than when Jason drove, who we all know is a Porsche owner & lover.

Jacey boy; what colour is that car in your pic.....i'm guessing its the ultimate silver with a bit of an effect right?

New series of Fifth gear starts next monday. last series of gaget show is tonite.

BTW 5th gear are really raising their game. They have moved base from acecafe to Millbrooke... so expect some regular top gear esq lap times round proving ground

Does anyone have a nice R35 they'd be willing to put on 5th gear in sept, just a static intro. white R will likely be going Athens tuning show so not available. cheers pm me
