The BBC and Sony have signed a contract, which makes it possible for fans of Top Gear to race the exclusive Top Gear Test track in GT5. Besides that, gamers will be able to download 40 episodes of the Top Gear television series through GT TV, "a dedicated online channel packed with the latest news and content from the motoring world, [which] will launch worldwide on PLAYSTATION®Network in 2008."
Which is all pretty cool indeed. Says Polyphony Digital president Kazunori Yamauchi: "“We at Polyphony are great fans of the world’s best motoring programme, Top Gear, so we’re delighted to be collaborating with BBC Worldwide to deliver Top Gear content via Gran Turismo. We’re sure that players will be as thrilled as we are when they get the chance to put their own driving skills to the test on the Top Gear Test Track in GT5, as well as enjoying classic episodes of Top Gear via GT TV.”
