Jason tested the F430 in Series 6 and Tiff tried out the F430 Spider in Series 8. But coming up in Series 9, it's Vicki's turn - in the F430 Challenge. To get one up on the boys VBH goes racing at the Ferrari playground, the Fiorano test track near Maranello. Only about 100 of the specialist Challenge race cars will be made and VBH is the first and only person outside the factory to be allowed to drive one. Look out for the new series of Fifth Gear to find out how she gets on...
- Fifth Gear (http://fifthgear.five.tv/jsp/5gmain.jsp?lnk=400)

Looking forward for this episode.

in your link you spelled fifth wrong. hahaha but other than that i wish Jeremy would test the Challenge or something that would be so cool. but doubt they will. is it just me or does 5th gear have a lot more money to spend?

Topgear definitely has a higher budget. That said, 5th Gear seems to have a better relationship with Ferrari (recall the Enzo and 430 test)

I'm not very fond of fifith gear but having said that they do test the cars much earlier enzo murcielago zonda f430 and the ascari kz1 which top gear only managed to test in the last series. But topgear has tested the veyron and they test cars more extensively and jeremy's opinions on them are quite amusing.

she would have been a five if she were just a civilian but since she presents a car show on tv and happens to drive around in Ferraris shes at least a 6!

j/k she's an 8
and i'm looking forward to see that episode!

Totally agree :)

It's probably part of the politically correct brigade's fair car testing usage program or something! :roll: Their loss, makes their program lose appeal.

No - this is the Challenge version of the street version of the GT version developed by Michelotto, based on the street version of the F430 :P :wink:

WTF ?!?! :shock: This is the F430's racing version. And that's enough !! :P
