If you’re not familiar with Top Gear, here’s the lowdown:
Top Gear is perhaps best known through its worldwide hit television show. Produced in the UK, the BBC-owned show is broadcast in more than 100 countries worldwide with an estimated international reach of more than 300 million viewers. The show’s trio of hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May bring an irreverent approach to car coverage, whether they’re test-driving the hottest new supercar on the Top Gear Test Track or searching Europe for the world’s best driving road in of the show’s patented feature challenges. Of course, no episode of Top Gear would be complete without an appearance from the mysterious--and seriously quick--Stig, a masked race driver (who’s been in the news of late) and whose prodigious skill behind the wheel is the stuff of legend.
In addition to the show, Top Gear also produces a monthly magazine featuring in-depth car reviews, innovative features, and monthly columns from Clarkson, Hammond, and May. Updated on a daily basis with fresh automotive content, the Top Gear Web site is a one-stop shop for the latest automotive news, behind-the-scenes video, and exclusive content you won’t find anywhere else.
