Top Gear goes live

Capital publicity: The Top Gear trio on London's Tower Bridge in a tank.

Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond are going on tour. And there's not a caravan in sight. Instead the preferred mode of transport at Monday's press launch of Top Gear Live is a bespoke, black liveried tank. For eight days at two venues - London's Earls Court and Birmingham's NEC - Jezza, Hamster and Captain Slow will host Top Gear Live at the MPH The Prestige and Performance Motor Show. During 10 performances at each venue, over 95,000 car fans can watch the team unleash automotive mayhem, take on crazy challenges, and preside over breathtaking stunts in each 75-minute live action show. Even The Stig will be there to show them how it's done.
