BTCC STARS ON TOP GEAR, 21 NOVEMBER
Green Flag MSA British Touring Car Championship stars Tom
Chilton, Robert Huff, Matt Neal and Anthony Reid, plus former
Champion Tim Harvey, will appear on Britain’s biggest
motoring programme Top Gear on Sunday 21 November in a spectacular
race … for historic people carriers!
The five BTCC aces will take on the BBC2 show’s presenter
Richard Hammond around Arena Essex to find out which of six
people carriers is the raciest. The feature, to celebrate
20 years of people carriers, was filmed last Thursday 11 November.
And viewers will not be disappointed – in keeping with
true championship tradition, the BTCC drivers serve up plenty
of action and take the machines to new found limits.
Hammond said: “People carriers are great levellers
so I was just about able to hang on in there and rub panels
with the BTCC drivers. I thought they’d murder me, but
they seemed more interested in making life difficult for one
another. But that’s not to say it was without some pretty
hairy moments.
“It was one of the most enjoyable days of filming I
can remember and the footage that the crew got back was superb.
I’ve been a fan of the BTCC for some time and it was
clear to see just how good these drivers are. Some of the
things they did with those vehicles were unbelievable. Viewers
are in for something a bit special.”
