Top Gear The Stig: 30 Top Power Laps

Top Gear

Advantages: Great entertainment
Disadvantages: None!

Men of the world unite ? this is Top Gear. The ultimate car show. Forget the charade that is Fifth Gear over on Channel 5. BBC Two?s beloved Top Gear is the pinnacle of motoring shows. Made by the Beeb and hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, this hourly show has been made for years now ? orginally it was more of a basic motoring review show with the likes of Clarkson and Tiff Needell, but it was completely revamped in 2002 and brought in May and Hammond to not only review brand new cars ? often sporty ones or ridiculous super cars ? but to task part in tasks to produce entertainment. The show isn?t religiously broken down into section but there are various parts of the show which occur each week. There?s always a ?Star in a Reasonably Priced Car? who will try a lap around the Top Gear track in a Chevrolet ...

Top Gear review

Advantages: Very fun to watch, great chemistry, informative
Disadvantages: None

after the first series. The new series boasted new features that are still going today, such as "Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car", where each week a celebrity sets the fastest lap time they can on the top gear track using a normal car. There are also the power laps, where whatever car the guys test at the track that week is taken around by the stig in order to see which is fastest.

They have also bought trucks, vans, cheap supercars, motor homes and cheap Porsches as part of different challenges. I love this show, and not just because I am a fan of cars, but because the presenters make the show a lot of fun. I know there are people that complain that ...

Review of Top Gear

Not just for the boys ... Top Gear

Advantages: Cars, challenges and comedy
Disadvantages: Some people are easily offended by Clarkson

personally I think it is his humour and frank opinions that has won Top Gear the following it has today. Richard Hammond (Hamster) is the quirky 'good looking' presenter of Top Gear who has also had a number of other presenting jobs on tv on a range of subjects. More recently he was brought to the public's attention after he suffered a life threatening crash at high speed whilst filming for Top Gear. Jame May (Captain Slow) is the eccentric more laid back presenter who tends to take a more logical approach than the other presenters. Mimicked because of his careful driving skills May is brings a welcome balance to the trio. The Stig is a man of mystery and the shows test driver. Famous for his overalls, helmet and bad taste in music many cameo appearances have been made to confuse the public. But the question still remains ... who is The Stig ...
