Take a tour around the Top Gear test track using Google Street View

Recently, the guys from Google took their Google Maps car out onto the Top Gear test track and the new Stig was in tow to do a bit of showing off.

Driving the Google Street View car is quite possibly one of the greatest jobs in the world – if you like driving, that is – and back in October, during a nice sunny spell at Dunsford Aerodrome, the lads from Google drove the car around the Top Gear track and the whole thing is now available over on Google Maps.

It wouldn’t be Top Gear without some showing off in a ridiculously expensive, yet incredibly nice car, so the Stig tore around the track in a Mercedes Benz SLS AMG. Make sure to have a look at the Top Gear Test Track car park as there are some serious motors parked up next to each other, including a Porsche GT3, Bentley Continental GT and a Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
