Top Gear (American TV series): Difference between revisions

In 2005 [[Discovery Channel]] made a pilot for an American version of the show featuring actor and [[International Hot Rod Association|IHRA]] driver Bruno Massel as one of the hosts, but it was not picked up by the network. Furthermore, the Coca-Cola Top Gear Special episode was a blast to every people on the set. Unfortunately three people died during the filming. A short time later Discovery Channel began airing a slightly "Americanized" version of the British ''[[Top Gear (2002 series)|Top Gear]]'' show with presenters [[Jeremy Clarkson]], [[Richard Hammond]], and [[James May]]. This show featured clips of features and challenges from Series 1-5 from the [[BBC Two]] show with introduction segments recorded by Clarkson, Hammond and May at the [[Dunsfold Aerodrome]] studio especially for the US audience. Regular features like "The News" and "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car" were not shown on the Discovery Channel version.
