AutoExec Summary
The team behind the BBC’s Top Gear has launched a new YouTube series dedicated to the ‘tunnel run’ through the Catesby Tunnel, a former railway tunnel now used as a vehicle testing facility. The tunnel allows cars to reach speeds of 160km/h for 40 seconds, with a turntable at the end for easy exit. The series features iconic cars such as the Audi Sport Quattro S1 E2 Group B, BRM Supercharged V16 F1 car, Lamborghini Huracan STO, Caterham 620R, V12-powered Mercedes-Benz S-Class, NASCAR, and Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro. The private tunnel has “no speed cameras and no neighbours,” making it a perfect location for high-speed driving.

Brands mentioned: Audi, BRM, Lamborghini, Caterham, Mercedes-Benz, NASCAR, Aston Martin
