THE WORLD’S BIGGEST SHOW HAS A NEW HOME - EXPECT MORE CHALLENGES, MORE MAYHEM, MORE CARS, MORE CELEBRITIES … AND A LITTLE SURPRISE
 
Tuesday, February 16 at 7pm CST/7:30pm EST on Imparja

Top Gear, the number one car program in the world, revs up at its new home on Imparja with a bumper two-hour premiere event featuring Australian movie star and Hollywood heart throb Eric Bana, plus an Olympic Winter Games special, Tuesday, February 16.

Irreverent, witty and independent-minded, the Top Gear presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard (The Hamster) Hammond and James (Captain Slow) May test cars to the limit and beyond to find out just how good they are.

Their debut on Imparja speeds from 0 to 60 with a driver’s idea of heaven when Hammond and May take an Aston Martin DBS Volante, a Ferrari California and a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder to Romania in search of “the greatest road in the world”.

Elsewhere, James makes a rare appearance on the race track to compare two absurdly powerful limos; Jeremy and Richard settle the thorny issue of which company has made the greatest number of truly brilliant cars; and Richard invents the brand new sport of airport vehicle racing.

All the Top Gear favourites are back, including the celebrity segment where The Stig, the show’s mysterious racing driver, puts the rich and famous through a speed lap on the Top Gear test track. Celebrities at the wheel in the new series include Chopper and Troy star Eric Bana; Hollywood’s hottest new property, the Frost/Nixon star Michael Sheen; and Guy Ritchie, director of Sherlock Holmes, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and Madonna’s ex-husband, who has a little trouble with his gears.

Full of amazing stunts, challenges and special features, Top Gear is self-deprecating, inclusive, and passionate about cars. There are no boring statistics and impenetrable conversations about camshafts and tyre pressures. Instead you get authoritative information and fabulous entertainment, delivered with great wit and rare style.
