Top Gear USA is an American car magazine and spin-off of the BBC Top Gear series . The show is moderated by racing driver Tanner Foust , actor and comedian Adam Ferrara and racing expert Rutledge Wood . As in the British model, The Stig also appears on the show and celebrities are invited to take their fastest lap.

In the USA the program is broadcast on the History Channel , in Germany on Motorvision TV or N24 and RTL II and RTL NITRO .

The show was canceled by History at the end of season 6 on June 28, 2016. A short time later, the broadcaster BBC America announced that it would reissue the show under the title Top Gear America with other presenters. Actor and racing driver William Fichtner and British journalist Tom “Wookie” Ford will present the program. This program has been broadcast since July 30, 2017.

The broadcast

Tanner, Adam and Rutledge test vehicles of all kinds in all possible and impossible situations: from the ultimate rental car test (in the off-roader paradise of Moab, Utah) to the search for the "most indestructible" car, to storm testing of converted motorhomes. Similar to the British model, the program focuses on driving fun and unusual challenges - in addition to vehicle checks, interviews and test drives on the classic racetrack.
