The ''Top Gear'' test track is a permanent circuit located on the site of the former Dunsfold Aerodrome for the television series ''[[Top Gear (2002 TV series)|Top Gear]]'', which it has served in the role of since 2002. The track was designed by [[Lotus Cars|Lotus]] engineers as a vehicular gauntlet that tests a car's road-holding, straight-line speed, and cornering abilities. Traditionally, the circuit favoured lightweight, low-powered vehicles, which frequently dominated the Power Lap leaderboard for its first few years. However, during the 2010s, as technology improved, higher-powered supercars such as the [[Bugatti Veyron#Super Sport|Bugatti Veyron Super Sport]] and [[Pagani Huayra]] got the upper hand. Towards the end of the decade, the zeitgeist shifted yet again, favouring lower-powered supercars due to their lower weight and blisteringly quick acceleration. | The ''Top Gear'' test track is a permanent circuit located on the site of the former Dunsfold Aerodrome for the television series ''[[Top Gear (2002 TV series)|Top Gear]]'', which it has served in the role of since 2002.
