Top Gear World Tour

The hosts of BBC TV series Top Gear have launched their car show world tour in London's Earls Court.

Top Gear Live will showcase cars and stunts, which will include flaming rally cars and underground street racing.

Presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May will take the show to eight locations including Birmingham, Amsterdam and Sydney.

They told BBC London reporter Jane Witherspoon that they also plan to take the four-day show to Hong Kong.

No, he still wouldn't be funny...

Definitely not a Clarkson replacement to be found in the US anyway, so I would hate to see a US Top Gear. Also, I think that only a govt. enterprise (BBC) could afford to spend as much as Top Gear does per episode (millions in production costs)...
