Top Gear Test Track Special Event

The Top Gear Test Track Special Event is a Special Event in Gran Turismo 5 where players race two laps around the Top Gear Test Track. The event is split into three difficulty levels: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. The only difference between the races is what car is used. As with all special events, players can only gain experience and credit from this event once for each of bronze, silver, and gold trophies. The Special Event unlocks at the following levels:
*Beginner: Level 4
*Intermediate: Level 8
*Advanced: Level 19
==Beginner Level==
The beginner level is available at Level 4, and has the player driving a Volkswagen SambaBus around two laps of the Top Gear Test Track. Starting at the back of the field, the player must use slipstreaming and outbraking to gain first place (for a gold trophy) within the two laps.

==Advanced Level==
The Advanced level is available at Level 19, and features the player driving a Volkswagen Kübelwagen. Unlike the previous levels, the Advanced level also utilizes the crossover part, in that five Volkswagen Schwimmwagens circulate the track about a half a lap behind. This means that twice per lap, as the cars pass through the crossover, traffic becomes an issue and several cars collide. While this can be an obstacle for the player, it can also become advantageous as several AI cars can be eliminated through collision, but at the risk of getting a DNF (Did Not Finish) when the player's car is the only remaining car on the field.
