If you don’t know it yet Top Gear will return this coming Novembers for their 14th Season of the current format. Now the latest story to hit the Internet was when the Jeremy, Richard and James were spotted filming in the Romania along with 3 exotic super cars. The boys are out once again to look for the best driving roads in Europe, Richard Hammond was spotted behind the wheels of the new Ferrari California, Jeremy Clarkson in an Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster and Captain Slow James May with a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder.

In the video we see the boys blasting their cars in a tunnel that runs through Nicolae Ceausescu’s construction, the Palace of Parliament in Bucharest. The sound of those roaring engines is just superb.  Also seen in the video is Jeremy giving quite a sour face to the news casters, probably not too happy being surrounded by the media during filming.

According to local Romanian newspaper the team was filming in the capital as well as the Transfagarasan road in the central of Romania which to no surprise has been closed down for two days just so that 3 men can drive around in their super cars. These privileges only comes when you are in best motoring show in the world.

These photos below will just put you in awe, the road is just fantastic. And surely worth of one of the best driving roads in the world. Especially with the backdrop of that fantastic scenery.

Transfagarasan Road

Transfagarasan Road

Tranfagarasan is the highest road in Romania, climbing up to 2,034 metres. It runs north and south across the tallest part of the Carpathian Mountains between the highest peak in the country, Moldoveanu, and the second highest, Negoiu. The road connects the historic regions of Transylvania and Wallachia, rising from 1,034 to 2,034 metres in only 30 kilometres.

Also on a different note, one of the Romanian newspapers hinted that Top Gear’s latest season will consist of 14 episodes. We cannot confirm this yet, as it could have been a misunderstanding between episode and season. For now we shall wait patiently for November 15.
