The Grand Tour's Old Test Track Now Belongs To The British Science Museum And Is Home To The World's First Hovercraft | Carscoops carscoops
Since The Grand Tour moved to a specials-only format, it has given up its test track. But the associated DriveTribe YouTube channel still needs a place to shoot videos, so it decided to find out what’s been going on at the site.
Turns out that, although the track still exists, it’s owned and operated by the British Science Museum. The hangars house a wide variety of things including airplanes, motorbikes, electric cars, hydrogen fuel cell cars, and even the world’s first hovercraft, according to Matt Moore, the associate director of the site.
And the museum group hasn’t just set up camp there to store stuff. They plan to use the test track for scientific purposes.“This site is primarily a storage site but it will be open to the public in 2024, so we’ll start having visitors coming and going from the site to see our collection,” says Moore.
As a result, it has proposed a few other options to become the home of the channel’s upcoming track videos for which it will be inviting friends
