Saw this for the first time recently and it was pretty enjoyable. My main question is to know what track this is. It looks awesome!

Lexus racing!

yeah, I saw that last night. Im not mad at them for showing of their mad tite dorift0 skilzz. Im not even mad that they kind of try to make it look like theyre racing, and drifting is just a part of it. Im simply happy to see japan trying to make showroom performance an actual thing again.

I am almost certain that is Ascari in Spain:

That curving uphill section is where the arrow is above. The full track runs the opposite direction the arrow is showing.

Why do I know this? Because it is a track in GT6 and apparently a favorite track of GT's creator. It's a pretty tricky track is some places. Some well hidden corners but lots of variability. Not a terribly wide track though.

Pretty sure Top Gear was at that track in one of their later episodes... might have even been Grand Tour.

In reply to kb58: Looks like season 10 of Top Gear. They brought a C63 AMG, BMW M3 and a Audi RS4.

Surprised the c63's head bolts withstood Clarkson's driving style

I wonder who they think they're fooling with that sped-up footage? There's another variant of the ad that only has normal-speed footage, I've seen it on TV.

Unfortunately, most people are fooled.

My favorite part is when the guy that isn't drifting cuts through the whole pack.
