In Tuesday night’s Top Gear on History, Rutledge Wood, Adam Ferrara and Tanner Foust will decide which car from the 1980s is the best through a variety of entertainingly unscientific challenges.
Many insurance companies consider a car over 25 years old to be a classic, but can a car from the 1980’s really be the kind of investment that a typical classic car can be? Rutledge, Adam and Tanner each choose their favorite 80’s car and compete in a series of challenges to see which is the best, and seek final judgment from a mystery 80’s celebrity. The person who chooses the best 80s car gets to test drive the fastest Ferrari currently on the roads – the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. – BBC Worldwide
You may have noticed that this article’s featured image features the gorgeous Ferrari F12 Berlinetta in addition to another car that’s instantly recognizable to Formula Drift fans. Yes, that’s Conrad Grunewald drifting his 2013 Formula Drift Chevrolet Camaro and oh yes, Tanner Foust is in the Ferrari. We don’t know how or why but cannot wait to see this unfold. Do join us on Twitter when the episode airs at 9:00pm EST. Cast members answer questions about the show and share stories about what really went on during those wacky adventures.
