The Top Gear Test Track is a test course based at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome in Surrey, England, and was used in the Power Laps and Star in a Reasonably Priced Car segments for the British television series Top Gear (2002-2015). It is also used for testing the speed, acceleration, and handling of cars they feature in each episodes.
It appeared in Gran Turismo 5, making it the first circuit in the series to feature a direct crossover (the same piece of track is used twice per lap). In-game it is known as the Top Gear Test Track, not the Dunsfold Park Circuit. Because of the crossover, it is recommended to apply standard road rules, such as right-of-way through the crossover, as blindly charging through without heeding the other drivers may lead to an accident, or in the Top Gear Challenge, disqualification.
It has not retuned to the Gran Turismo series since its maiden appearance, likely due to series competitor Forza Motorsport & Horizon taking over the overall Top Gear license since Forza Motorsport 4 (2011) up until Forza Horizon 4 (2018).
