Yes it will certainly contain this years Christmas Special where they go to Iraq.
And like the Great Adventures 3, it will also likely have two smaller adventures on Disc 2.

And yes it is good this is coming out on Blu-ray, but they have already done three Top Gear Blu-rays, so it's unsprising, especially when they've been filming the series in HD for the past two series and the Polar Special a couple of years before that.

If theres no sign of them and they are region free then I will be, it's just strange to have to import a BBC Blu-ray from America.

Well remember Top Gear didn't start filming in HD until a couple of series ago, so any of the previous DVDs would be upscaled, apart from half of the challenges on the Challenges 4 DVD, which came from the first series filmed in HD.

So maybe the Challenges 5 will be Blu-ray and imclude the HD challenges from the Challenges 4.

Personally, I'm not bothered if they don't get Blu-ray releases, because teh upscaling on the Great Adventures 3 Blu-ray and The Next Doctor on the Doctor Who: The Complete Specials set weren't great and showed SD stuff didn't need upscaling.

Hey I know it's not Blu-Ray quality, but itunes has seasons 14 and 15 in HD for only $10 each. I'll be purchasing these while I wait for the February 15 release of these two seasons on BD.
Update: Sorry, didn't realize that most of you here are in the UK, so I apologize if the sale price right now isn't the same for itunes in the UK.

I've just looked on the 2|entertain website and found out the details for thsi release.

The boys are back with even more exhilarating and daring road trips as they create the ultimate test of man against machine. This bumper packed DVD, featuring over 25 minutes of exclusive unseen footage, unites some of Top Gears most recent adventures as the boys embark on more ill-advised attempts to out-do each other. Featuring Director’s Cuts of The USA Road Trip, Middle East Special and Big Albania Test, Top Gear The Great Adventures 4 comes racing onto DVD and Blu-ray from 28th March.

THE US ROAD TRIP

The Top Gear boys are once again let loose in the USA. Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May compare the Mercedes SLS, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS and the Ferrari 458 Italia in an epic road trip up America's east coast. En route, they undertake a series of challenges culminating in a fight to find the fastest way into New York, all in the name of crowning the world's greatest sports car.


MIDDLE EAST SPECIAL

The three wise men of Top Gear embark on a seasonal road trip as they attempt to recreate a certain famous journey across the Middle East to Bethlehem.

They do so in a trio of open top sports cars, each wholly unsuited to the conflict ridden mountains of southern Turkey, the dangerous warzones of Iraq and the searing deserts of Syria. Along the way they test the limits of mechanical and physical endurance as well as asking the vital question, what exactly is myrrh and where do you buy it?

As well as featuring almost an additional 10 minutes of this special, the DVD includes an exclusive commentary with James May and the crew.

BIG ALBANIA TEST

Broadcast in the latest Top Gear series, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May head to Albania to test the super luxurious Rolls-Royce Ghost, Bentley Mulsanne and Mercedes S65 AMG.

EXTRAS: Audio Commentary, Out takes

I'm suprised the Albania challenge is on it, because I thought it'd just be the 2 Christmas Specials, but I'm not complaining, it was great.

I hope the commentary features Captain Slow again or possibly even Hammond and/or Clarkson.
