It looks like we’re going to have to say goodbye to the Top Gear Test Track that we have all come to know and love. According to BBC News, the Dunsfold Aerodrome, where the test track is located, it set to be torn down in order to make way for a housing development.

Instead of housing thousands of horsepower, the Dunsfold Park will have 1,800 homes, along with shopping areas, recreation areas, and a health center. Additionally, the roads in the area will be improved upon and a new bus service will be created for the area.
Jim McAllister, Dunsfold Park chief executive, told BBC News: “The development of Dunsfold Aerodrome will provide homes for young families currently priced out of the area, direct development away from green fields, create new jobs and deliver a range of new community facilities and infrastructure improvements.”
We’ve had some great times at the track:
