BBC AMERICA'S "TOP GEAR" RETURNS FEBRUARY 10 WITH EPIC ROAD TRIPS IN UKRAINE AND BURMA
THE STIG'S NEW TEASER REVEALED TODAY
Announced today, the world's biggest car show, Top Gear, is back for its 21st season premiering Monday, February 10, 8:30pm ET on BBC AMERICA. In the seven all-new episodes, hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May take on an array of new adventures, challenges, and stunts including an excursion to Ukraine, a race with the new Alfa 4C sports car, and a two-part journey across Burma.
On Top Gear's itinerary for Season 21:
· Road trip across the Ukraine in three small cars with even smaller engines
· Attempt to re-live the glory days of the 80's in three 'classic' hatchbacks
· Race the new Alfa 4C sports car against a very unusual quad bike
· Witness the sensational McLaren P1 tearing a strip off a Belgium highway
· View an insane six-wheeled Mercedes operating in the desert
· Embark on an epic two-part journey across the wilds of Burma in three separate trucks - this could be Top Gear's toughest challenge to date
Top Gear's The Stig hates the off-season:
Today, BBC AMERICA released a new Top Gear teaser. Top Gear's tame racing driver, The Stig, is miserable when new episodes of Top Gear aren't on the air...
Top Gear Test Track on Google Street View:
Also announced this week, one of the world's most famous TV show locations has opened its doors for the first time to Google Street View, so that Top Gear fans can virtually follow the skid marks of Clarkson, Hammond, May and a plethora of celebrities who have graced its hallowed tarmac. http://goo.gl/maps/JO1uV The Stig accompanied the Google Street View car as it lapped the familiar figure-of-eight Top Gear track at Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey, England. Watch behind the scenes footage here.
