You wait ages for the new season of a new TV car show and, typically, two come along at the same time. After Top Gear�s premiere on January 27 on BBC, Fifth Gear�s debut episode of the 22nd season will air in a week�s time, on Monday, February 11 on the Discovery Channel.
The first two teasers about one of the first episodes� stories are now available. They include Vicki Butler-Henderson, a very yellow Porsche Boxster S, an airfield runway and the world�s largest civilian aerobatic display team.
Yellow Porsche Boxster S
It�s the French-based Breitling Jet Team, which flies seven Aero L-39 �Albatros� jets. The L-39 is a Czech-built trainer that has been produces in nearly 2,800 units and has served with 30 air force units around the world.
As it is being replaced by the newer L-159, many have been sold to civilians; in fact, they are very popular in the States, too, due to their relatively low cost, which ranges between US$200,000-300,000, and probably the most famous owner is auto industry exec Bob Lutz.
You can view the videos of Vicki explaining the challenge and making gunning the 315HP open-top Porsche in the runway right after the break.
