What UK aerodrome's Top Gear test track appears in Gran Turismo 5?

The Top Gear test track in Gran Turismo 5 is located at Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey, England. The game features a virtual version of the circuit used by the BBC motoring programme Top Gear.

Dunsfold Aerodrome was originally an airfield and later became associated with the Top Gear track, where the programme tested cars, recorded Power Laps, and filmed its “Star in a Reasonably Priced Car” segment. The circuit was designed by Lotus as a testing facility, and its runway also supported drag-race and speed-test activities.

The track’s appearance in Gran Turismo 5 was announced before the full game’s release. It had also been promoted in connection with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, helping link the television programme’s real-world motoring culture with the game’s simulation-focused presentation.

A common mix-up is to answer “Top Gear test track,” which identifies the circuit but not the aerodrome requested by the question. Brands Hatch, Silverstone, and Brooklands are separate British motorsport venues.
