Top Gear USA -- The Presenters?

janstett · January 7th, 2006, 08:02 PM

So the announcement of TG USA has been made, and they did name the new presenters. Does anybody have a somewhat detailed biography/resume of these people, as to why exactly they are qualified to present the show?

exactly, the article from Top Gear Magazine. I know there is a drag racer, some guy from a reality TV show (that makes him about as qualified as a blind Neurosurgeon if you ask me), and i think a comedian?

I saw some pics from the show is the latest magazine issue, didn't recognize any of them.

Right, I thought I had alredy read that and did.

What I meant was full names and maybe some background. I don't know who Bruno, John, and Johnny are or why they are qualified. Mostly because I want their jobs! 8)

You're not the only one.

Not to take anything away from "Bruno" but why would they get a "drag" racer to throw cars into corners...I would think he'll be great at, say, going fast in a stright line?

Do not have high expectations about this!

I got the January issue of Top Gear (Top Gear Awards) here in Newark, NJ, and I read about it.

Leave it to these guys to *^%$@% some good thing up. Alos, do not forget about those commercial breaks that will come on every ten minutes.

I am a drag racer, but I am also an autocrosser and a track guy too... I would be more than happy to demonstrate just how to toss a car into some twisties, but sometimes the raw power and acceleration of a drag race is FUN!! Not to mention that getting good and consistent R/T's is no easy task!

janstett · January 12th, 2006, 03:59 PM

I'd rather see someone from road racing (Petit LeMans, SCCA, etc.) than a drag racer.

Im just not a fan of drag racing. I did it alot but once I started autocross I fell in love with the twistys.

I said the drag racer bit because it is the typical american sterotype thing. Fast in a straight line. Why not have hosts that are a tad more involed in other forums of racing

2 drag racers and most likely some sutpid slutty chick that knows shit all about cars. Yep the way this show is going it sounds like the typical american top gear.

can't wait for JC to make fun of it.
