Curiosidades

Throughout series 22 symbols of Chile appear in the show for example on one episode a picture of Alexis Sanchez (Chilean footballer) is visible on a table. On another the Stig is on a Chilean flag. This is because it was Chilean people who helped them escape Argentina in the controversial 'Patagonia special'.

For the road test of the Ferrari Enzo, they asked Ferrari if they could borrow one, but Ferrari refused. Jeremy Clarkson then called Jay Kay and asked if he could borrow his, but he refused as well. However, Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason came to the rescue and agreed to lend Clarkson his Enzo if he advertised his new book on Top Gear. Clarkson accepted and slipped (not so) subtle references to the book during the car test.

The famous last corner in the Top Gear (revamped version) track is called "Gambon corner". It is named after actor Michael Gambon who drove a Suzuki Liana (as part of the "Reasonably priced car" challenge) and nearly flipped over at the last corner. Since then, Jerermy Clarkson dubbed the last corner as "Gambon corner".

A rarity on TV shows, the entire studio audience stands for the 60-minute duration of the show, as no seating is provided.

All three presenters of Top Gear have won Heat Magazine's Weird Crush Of The Year. Richard Hammond (2006), James May (2007), Jeremy Clarkson (2008).
