About
Quick guide
Top Gear (2002) is a high‑energy motoring series that blends reviews, challenges, and celebrity races. The hosts test cars across the globe in a studio and on a test track.
Top Gear launched in 2002 as a revamp of the original UK show. It pairs a studio studio‑based format with on‑location segments featuring car reviews, timed laps, celebrity drivers and large‑scale challenges. Over the years the show evolved from the original Clarkson‑Hammond‑May trio to the current lineup of Paddy McGuinness, Chris Harris and Freddie Flintoff. The series is known for its quick‑paced humor, daring stunts, and the enigmatic driver known as the Stig, whose identity remains hidden.
