Top Gear season - Motor shows

Top Gear originally started in 1977 as a simple magazine programme featuring a wide spectrum of presenters, some of which now present the Channel 5 rival programme 'Fifth Gear'. In 2002 the iconic show was updated to be set in a studio with a heavier emphasis on the program's particularly unique humour and the character traits of presenters James May, Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond. A popular feature of the show is the unique tests they carry out on vehicles, like the infamous episode where Top Gear reviewed the Toyota Hilux. Tests ranged from crashing the car into a tree to repeatedly hitting it with a wrecking ball. Top Gear is a definite must see for any true fan of motoring.
