About this show

The history of the automobile and the history of America are intimately intertwined; to celebrate one is to celebrate the other. Featuring super-cars, extreme stunts and challenges, car reviews and celebrity interviews, the U.S. version of the wildly popular BBC series Top Gear promises high-adrenaline action entertainment as it tracks the colorful history of the automobile. Top Gear on History is a perfect fit for anyone with a love of cars, showcasing an offbeat celebration of automobiles and driving as well as the eccentric adventures of its hosts -- comedian Adam Ferrara, stunt driver and champion rally and drift racer Tanner Foust, and car-obsessed racing analyst Rutledge Wood -- with the UK version's customary wit and humor.

They are trying to make something that has been 10+ years in the making in the u.k. Forget it with this bunch!! Tanner is an over egoed smattass and a cheater on the challenges. Not to mention that almost nothing they do is actually funny because you know its scripted!! For example, in the one ton truck challenge, Tanner "the cheating race driver" Foust shows up with an F-450!! That's a 1.5 ton truck!!! Give it up guys and go back to whatever you did before this show!!

Reading all these comments prove that no matter what the U.S. TopGear hosts would ever do won't be good enough for you,the audience look at your brutal comments,coming from an uncivilized country of cocky,close minded people! You actually blame those 3 guys? How bout turning your finger back at yourselves! You will never be satisfied,that's the American mentality.Your words embarress me as an American! And you wonder why the rest of the planet hates us! Use your brains and not your mouths for once!
