Nobody thought that motoring entertainment could be very educative and fun until Top Gear came into being. The show also became a foreground for those wanting to learn about cars in general, or to hear about the latest releases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the show’s target audience was aimed at car enthusiasts, \u00a0even the novice still enjoyed the show. <\/span><\/p>\n

Top Gear became part of British popular culture, because of the knowledge, visual style and presentation of the show.<\/p>\n

One of the program’s fantastic features is the track: where a new driver’s skills are put to the test.<\/p>\n

Even with the recent relaunch of Top Gear using new presenters, it couldn\u2019t bring back what Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond initially brought to the show. <\/span><\/p>\n

There’s now a similar show on Amazon Prime titled Grand Tour<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jeremy Clarkson: \u00a0A Review To Kill <\/span><\/h2>\n

He was the leader of the pack, and the main motormouth of the show. <\/span><\/p>\n

One of the pulling factors as to why people would tune in every week to hear him talk about car models.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ranging from some of the oldest, and often times, unheard of car models. <\/span><\/p>\n

Though Jeremy is very opinionated, and made some enemies as a result, when it came to reviewing cars. <\/span><\/p>\n

His tongue in cheek comments on certain cars got him in trouble with pressure groups and car manufacturers like Rovers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Later on, he started selling paddington bears for his parents’ company.<\/p>\n

Furthering his interest in motor journalism, he trained as a journalist before writing for many publications.<\/p>\n

Jeremy\u00a0was an automobile columnist for a local newspaper Shropshire Star; commenting on cars such as Fiat and Peugeots.<\/p>\n

He ended up working for Top Gear.<\/p>\n

James May: Captain Slow<\/h2>\n

The son of a priest, a former choirboy when he was a nipper, and lover of wine, James May is now a petrolhead.<\/p>\n

James got his first stinks into motoring working for Autocar and The Engineer and\u00a0was once a co-host for Oz and James’s Big Wine Adventure.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s nicknamed Captain Slow because he likes to air on the side of caution when it comes to motoring, using a\u00a0relaxed driving style.<\/p>\n

His personal car collection consist of the Porsche 911, a few Bentleys, and Rolls Royces.<\/p>\n

Also an owner of a\u00a0motorcycle and\u00a0small airplane.<\/p>\n

Richard Hammond: The Orange Soda<\/h2>\n

Often called Hamster by fans and co-presenters of the show due to his small stature. <\/span><\/p>\n

He worked for various BBC radio stations and other motoring programs such as Motor Week on Men & Motors before landing a co-presenting job at Top Gear. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He has presented\u00a0Brainiac: Science Abuse,\u00a0<\/i>Total Wipeout,<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Planet Earth Live.<\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When he’s not co-presenting The Grand Tour, Richard’s busy providing content for the automotive social media website:\u00a0Drive Tribe<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
