Panoz "representing" at TOP GEAR video shoot!

So, I was lucky enough to get asked to come to the track and be a part of filming a new TOP GEAR episode at my "local track"(BBC UK Top Gear!!)

I had my fair share of camera time, they filmed me getting in the car, buckled in, firing it up, and driving on track

It was a blast!!! Free track time, some up close photos of Jeremy and gang.

Hopefully the Panoz will make the cut when the show airs!!!


I cant post any real details of photos until after the show airs, but figured I'd give you guys a teaser!!

Nice one Eric.

They did the same in NZ when the show came over here recently. Set up a track and invited local racers to bring in thier race cars to square off on the track, some of which was filmed. The event ws held as a competition and as I recall, a local racer driving a very rapid targa prepared Ford Escort with a turbo Nissan V6 fitted, beat the star professional racer that Top Gear had as thier guest for the show.
