"Top Gear" is a British TV show that began in 2002 and focuses on reviewing cars and other vehicles. It started with Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and Jason Dawe as hosts, but James May replaced Dawe after the first season. The show also features a mysterious test driver named "The Stig," played by various racing drivers over the years.

"Top Gear" gained popularity for its entertaining presentation and humor, but it also faced criticism for controversial content. The show continued with the original hosts until Clarkson's contract was not renewed in 2015 after an incident during filming. Hammond, May, and Andy Wilman, the show's executive producer, then left the show and created a new series called "The Grand Tour."

After the original hosts left, other presenters joined the show, including Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc. However, negative feedback led to changes in the hosting lineup, and the current main presenters are Chris Harris, Andrew Flintoff, and Paddy McGuinness. "Top Gear" has become a successful and popular show, broadcast internationally and spawning merchandise, live tours, and international versions in various countries.
