Strange sort of crash damage. Looks like it has hit side-on into something like tyres on a track corner. And the airfield behind.... not Top Gear???
Funny how the door handle is still on.
And in photo 3 why is the background in front of the Scirocco smudged out???

It doesn't look like Dunsfold. Similar, but there are differences and its a dis-used airfield.

well my copy of this months evo mag has arrived. They have a pic of their viper green long termer next to a White R!!! 59 plate too. So yeah u may well be spot on that this is a press car and a mag/journo has binned it on track!

Worse tho is the pics of the 9ff GT9R having brake failure at a vmax day at brunters! 75 mph into a bank after hitting 222mph!!! They can rebuild it tho they say. Ceramic discs overheated apparently!

SVK

it has already been discussed above ^^^ there is nothing to definitely say it is Dunsfold (aka the top gear test track) it is just a disused airfield of which there are quite a lot that get used for driving round on.
hopefully raffoul will be able to find out more from the forum he got the photos on
