Thanks for the post Can't wait!

I work at HMV so I will keep my eye on the new release info and soon as I know any details I will let you all know. To be honest, the actual details rarely go up until the month before release

Anyone got any clues as to what challenges are on this one? I just got the bluray of Volume 3 (hooray for UK amazon, it would probably cost about 3x as much here, thanks australia for being SO FAR AWAY FROM EVERYTHING/rant) and it seems fast to bring out another one so quickly...

[jacqui]

Not yet but there are plenty to choose from ;D It won't have Bonneville and Romania thats a certainty ;D

As long as the 'Geoff' episode and the TSD Rally is on there I will be happy

The graphics are up and the challenges that will be on the Dvd are revealed!

The Top Gear team are at it again in a new DVD comprising of another 11 fuel-injected challenges. This time the boys take to the road and the ice to embark on more foolhardy ventures to out-do each other.

The Top Gear Race to the North pits a car, a bike and a locomotive in an epic journey from London to Edinburgh. After choosing their form of transportation out of a hat, car enthusiast Jeremy Clarkson runs the race on board railway locomotive 60163 Tornado - a brand new mainline steam engine completed in Britain in 2008 - leaving motorbike fan Richard Hammond to ride up on a Vincent Black Shadow and Jaguar fan James May makes the trip in an XK120.

Ever mindful of the environment, the presenters are challenged to create their own eco-car to rival the G-Wiz, using a milk float, some cutters and an old TVR. The first car, nicknamed " Geoff", is put through its paces in the city of Oxford, before being re-built as Hammerhead-i Eagle Thrust and undergoing a number of safety tests at the Motor Industry Research Association before finally being reviewed by Autocar magazine.

Have the Top Gear team bit off more than they could chew taking on one of France's best drivers in an ice race? Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May face Olivier Panis in one of their most terrifying contests to date, quickly discovering their 1,500 pound rear-wheel drive coupes were not up to the challenge.

Squeezed on to the DVD due to popular demand, this next challenge sees Top Gear go all PC, but not in the way you might suspect. With a budget of only £1,500 Jeremy, Richard and James attempt to build police cars able to surpass the Police's standard-issue Vauxhall Astra Diesels. Jeremy opts for a 1998 Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo for £900, painted in Italian Polizia di Stato livery. James buys a 1994 Lexus LS400 also for £900, which he paints in a traditional 'jam sandwich' livery and adapts with an air siren from an ice-cream van and adds paint sprayers to the back. Richard purchases a 1994 Suzuki Vitara for £750, equipping it with light barsand a self-deploying stinger on the front. The cars are then put to test around the Top Gear track which includes facing the Stig in the Vauxhall Astra diesel (with extra points awarded for flamboyance), clearing a crash site in less than two minutes, and then stopping the Stig in a police chase.

Armed with £3000 a piece, our trio trundle off to a classic auction to buy a pre-1982 car. Rather than undertaking a series of challenges to see who has got the best deal, the trio head off to Majorca to take part in one very big challenge - a seemingly unfathomable classic car rally. There's just one small problem - the office has chosen their co-drivers.

Other hilarious and equally explosive challenges not to be missed include James and Jeremy attempting to find out whether Communists ever made a decent car; James May riding shotgun with American stunt driving legend Ken Block and Jeremy responding to a reader complaint by landing a Ford Fiesta on a beach and being chased through a shopping centre.

*eeekk* I'm very excited now! Can't wait!
