It’s been known for a while now that you’ll be able to watch Top Gear episodes ingame in Gran Turismo 5 (40 episodes infact), but we’ve just learned today that you’ll also be able to drive the Top Gear test track!

“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,” said Kazunori Yamauchi, President, Polyphony Digital, “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.”

UPDATE: I’ve added two screenshots of the ingame Top Gear videos taken from TopGear.com.
