    Season 14 will run for 7 episodes with the first one to air this Sunday at 9:00pm
    In the first of a brand new series, Jeremy, Richard and James take an Aston DBS Volante, a Ferrari California and a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder to Romania in search of an obscure stretch of Tarmac that some hardcore drivers claim is the nothing less than the greatest road in the world. James compares two powerful limos, the BMW 760i and Mercedes S63 AMG. Plus, Eric Bana is the Star in the Reasonably Priced Car.

    According to Top Gear Executive Producer Any Wilman, the show has been moved to 9:00pm beacuse they would have been competing with X Factor.

    The X Factor should be glad TG have cut them some slack.

    9pm :(

    I wished that they pushed the X factor back instead, 8PM is always Top Gear time

    Thats the normal amount for a Top Gear series in recent years.

    Series 13:     7 Episodes
    Series 12: 7 Episodes
    Series 11: 6 Episodes
    Series 10: 10 Episodes
    Series 09: 6 Episodes
    Series 08: 8 Episodes
    Series 07: 6 Episodes

    So its nothing to do with the budget.

    That was great, HD does it great justice. The majority of people probably haven't BBCHD tuned in though and had to watch it on SD.
