I watch a lot of Top Gear.

The partnership between Forza and Top Gear US, is something to satisfy car enthusiasts. Top Gear US has an audience of 60 million people, Top Gear UK has an audience of 350 million peoples. These shows are massive, and I think it's fair to say people who play racing simulators at least know about these shows. Incorporating Top Gear into Forza or GT, is there to satify fans, and incorperate car culture into gaming.

I mean don't you think having the Top Gear Test track exclusive to GT5 helped boost hype? To me, it's the best event in the game. I've always wanted to test drive the track and see how it feels from an in car perspective to race around the track. Top Gear US isn't as big, but it has potential to grow, and it would still be cool to drive around the track.

I think the biggest thing that MS wanted from this was Top Gear. The fact that they can test the tracks helps the credibility of the game maybe... I dunno its a bunch of bollocks. Top Gear shouldnt choose sides. The track should be open to all imo. 

Knowing the industry, Top Gear UK probably will eventually be in both games. Top Gear US might be exclusive to Forza simply because Turn 10 is American, and it's probably easier to establish a relationship with Top Gear US. Also since 360 has a much larger American audience, it makes sence that Top Gear US has a higher priority to Turn then then PD.

However your right, Top Gear should be in all games. Just not Top Gear Russia, I despise that show.
