My Top Gear Test Track GT5 first impressions

Jaguar XFR


Bugatti Veyron

Subaru WRX STi 4-door (GVB)

The Top Gear Test Track, as seen on the hit UK TV Car Magazine from BBC, Top Gear, made its first appearance in Gran Turismo 5, and unlocking this track wasn't easy for me because I need to get gold on one of the Top Gear Challenges on Special Events. 

Lamborghini Gallardo

Honda CR-Z

Lexus LFA

What can I say about that track as seen on Top Gear from the UK? For me, I think it sounds challenging but good for trying out new cars. I can imagine myself as The Stig for testing out new rides, both Standard and Premium.

Toyota Vitz RS

Caterham Seven Fireblade

Lexus IS F

Ferrari 430 Scuderia

The Top Gear Test Track on Gran Turismo 5 sounds challenging, but this is a great collaboration between Polyphony Digital and British Broadcasting Corporation. Most players would love to try out new rides on this track and see which of their cars is the fastest.

I can imagine myself bump my head after drifting a high-performance car, just like in one episode of Top Gear where Jeremy Clarkson bumped his head upon drifting the MG XPower.

How about you? Are you faster than The Stig?

Merry Christmas, Banana Split! ROFL

Time to remember what happened on the Christmas Day episode of Banana Split:

- A round-up of showbiz news and info (real and gagged) on Balitang Siksik Showbiz Edition

- Long distance call jokes

- Melai, as Alpha Beth, to the rescue! If your mister dreaming of some baby, replace it with baboy!

- John Prats, as Kuya Art, the Art-throb, teaches us how to make Santa Claus with matching reindeers!

- Ryan Bang, as James Bang, is back for his third mission! For his mission briefing, a Metro Aide complains about sweeping leaves. He prepares himself with his crazy gadget; the Bang Bang Bang Lighter (a lighter shaped like a gun). James Bang burned the tree with this crazy gadget. Mission Complete...?!

- Kuya Art, the Art-throb, teaches us how to make a Christmas tree decor with the whole family.

- A game of Show It this Christmas!
