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!

Some of these journos are such rubbish drivers, I don't know why they let them loose on expensive machinery!

We still haven't established the car's ID yet for certain or location, so no kangaroo courts

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
