Thanks Brandon, nice to get some encouragement. I have a few years of average editing experience, and I am not releasing the 1st ep until I am happy with it. I dont think we will have any challenges until the next episode or so. I just want the 1st ep as a platform to build upon via ideas from others, and also I can only upload 10 mins or so onto youtube.

OP Has bee updated by the way.
 
He's not trying to do a new version of Top Gear to suit Top Gear fans, he's trying to adapt Top Gear to GT5 for GT5 fans and GTPlanet members. That hasn't been done, so your list is irrelevant.
Do consider he is using the franchise name, structure and "The Stig" to appeal to those interested in Top Gear in the first place, otherwise one would not understand the out of context references. Therefore trying to adapt Top Gear towards GT5 and GTPlanet members alike is essentially same as a new version (in this case GT5 version) of Top Gear towards Top Gear fans. In addition Top Gear has already been adapted to appeal to GT5 fans as one might have noticed with the presence of the Top Gear Test Track. I did not direct criticize his intentions either by stating that trying to redo another Top Gear doesn't always positive responses as it is not 'original'. In summary your counterargument reasoning is just as good as my initial response.

Could be good despite being far from an original take on Top Gear.

There are quite a few other people doing this too, have a search and take a look at what they're up to. If your own project goes all Stig II then you could maybe hook up with them?
 
They just seem to either be doing Single Car reviews or Top Gear Lap Time videos. None of them seem to be going in depth like us.

Anyway, a quick update.

The Ferrari Enzo Review is finished.
We are now reviewing the Aston Martin DB9, the BMW M5 and the Maserati GT all together on a Road Trip. We have filmed half of it, and it will be edited by next weekend. Hopefully we can release the 1st episode by then.

I will start to advertise this better.
 
i love this idea... i watch Top Gear 24/7....lol. Please post links to the videos...i would kindly like to help...Also gamers in a reasonably priced car..lol
 
I'll be staying tuned and will toss in ideas and help with things if I can. I'm fairly creative about video and video editing and am quite a Top Gear fan. I still watch it fairly regularly on BBC America, have a few DVD's and have seen all the new US version episodes too. I have a few on my DVR now that I'll be watching, I'll try to think of how the challenges can be converted to GT5.

Other ideas for segments or challenges could be; set a price limit like 15,000 Cr's (relitively low in terms of GT5) and all 3 guys have to find a car for that price and do a short race. Or instead of a price limit you could set weight/power/tire limits.

I wonder if there's anyway you could use the license tests for any of the challenges? It would be nice if you could pick the car you wanted to use in the tests.....running a Kubelwagen through the slalom cones would be great material! lol

I think most people have cell phones with pretty good cameras now, that could work for capturing the video maybe. Not sure if you have a capture card to get the video or how you're going to do it. The guy that runs the HSRL league that I'm in just got hardware that allows him to capture the race replays and anything else that's on screen.

Looking forward to see how this Top GeTa5r comes along! :)

Yeah, I'm not sure what to do about that. I could hold a track day, order peoples runs (3 goes each) and record them going around. Then throw them all onto the board.

Make sure you set the lobby to have the Swift Stock W/ oil change BHP & weight as the limit. also restrictions....all assist off & not sport tires....use the stock tires

In real Top Gear they have slightly stickier tyres on the car so I think Sports Hards are appropriate. Also, Thier car is lighter due to the bucket seats but Im not going to bother with that. If everyone uses the Recommended Swift, it comes with max HP (Engine Worn in etc) so I will get them all to use that.

is the Swift upgradeable? i.e Drivetrain, suspention, ect. is it like who can tune the swift better and get time or who can use it stock and win...
 
Your idea sucks it's a videogame and there's already Top Gear which is REAL, so yea
