A new season of the worlds biggest car show is about to commence and for the first time, Australian viewers will be able to watch the new series of Top Gear on BBC Knowledge within minutes of it airing in the UK.
The latest series of Top Gear, will premiere on the 26th January (time to be confirmed later this week)
In the first episode of the series, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are in Russia for an incredible race across the vast and very beautiful urban landscape of St Petersburg. May defends the honour of the car in a very small Renault, Hammond tries to prove that pedalling is faster by saddling up a bicycle, whilst Clarkson attempts to demonstrate that water is the quickest way across town, especially if you’re in a hovercraft. To make matters more complicated, all three presenters are racing not only each other but also The Stig, who is silently making his way towards the finish line on public transport.
This season will also feature a segment recently filmed in the Northern Territory, airing in episode two, transmitting on the 2nd of February.
Top Gear broadcasts on BBC Knowledge on Foxtel. The channel will also be available on Fetch TV from the 1st February.
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May will preview the forthcoming new series of Top Gear in front of a live and online global audience of fans at a special event in London on Sunday January 18th (Monday January 19th in Australia). The one-off event will broadcast on Top Gear’s official YouTube channel at 2100hrs GMT (19th January 0800hrs AEDT).
