The Stig: Into the Loop of Death

The man in white is adding to his fearless reputation by attempting to loop the loop — in a dune buggy. And it seems he isn’t even practising for the stunt at the Top Gear Live shows.

The Top Gear Live 2009/2010 world tour kicked off in spectacular fashion at London’s Earl Court arena today. Audiences were thrilled by an all-new show, which featured more cars, more stunts and – crucially – more fire.

The audience witnessed Ford Focus RS’ changing colour before their very eyes, constantly burning rally cars, the world’s largest interactive game, the world’s first indoor loop-the-loop, the Stig leading a troupe of world record breaking precision drivers – not to mention the ringmasters themselves; Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May at the head of the motoring mayhem.

Top Gear Live – at The Drive-Thru

Another first for Top Gear Live in Auckland with the team staging the world’s first Drive-thru Ticketek sales counter.

Thousands of cars honked and tooted as they drove past with a bunch of loyal Top Gear fans driving through to get their premium seats before the rest of the world had woken up.

Thanks to the team at Nomad for the coffee and Independent Prestige for the Lamborghini, Bentley and Aston – what Top Gear Live event would be complete without them.

Top Gear Live will hit Auckland on 18th – 21st February 2010. Tickets at Ticketek

At the Drive-Thru - free coffee with your tickets anyone?

Top Gear Live New Zealand – an unofficial map of the planned venue

Late one night the Top Gear Live team thought that  simply staging the world’s most spectacular car theatre show wasn’t going to be enough of a challenge… and so decided to run a motoring festival alongside it as well. We threw a bunch of ideas together of what the greatest motoring event in the country should look like, then got our mate Rick from Ricks Drawings to draw it. This is Rick’s “artist impression.” We figure he’s got the explosions about right but we’ll have a few hundred more cars, some music, and bars to make this a brilliant day out!

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May officially launched this year’s Top Gear Live World Tour today September 25th 2009, from London’s Royal Geographical Society (RGS) in true Phileas Fogg-style; suspended below a hot air balloon.

Famed for their legendary globe-trotting antics, the three presenters took inspiration from some of the world’s most famous explorers including Dr David Livingstone, Sir Ernest Shackleton, Robert Falcon Scott (Scott of the Antarctic) and Sir Edmund Hillary.
