Top Gear: Races - Season 1

Season 1

The Races

From very early on in Top Gear's life, the phrase 'we decided to have a race…' has appeared often. It's important work, finding out whether a Bugatti Veyron is faster than a Eurofighter jet, or if a Fiat Panda is faster than a free runner. Some of the races have been brief, and some have been simply epic. In Top Gear: The Races, Matt LeBlanc (Episodes, Friends), who is responsible for one of the fastest celebrity laps ever driven around the infamous Top Gear test track, presents a selection of the greatest and most entertaining races from the past 13 years.
