Top Gear returns with Polar Special on July 25th

Writen by walking leaf on Friday, 20 of July , 2007 at 4:33 am, ,

The highly entertaining motoring TV programme returns to BBC2 next week with a special Polar-themed version of Top Gear.

In Top Gear’s most ambitious and arduous challenge to date Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond attempt to race from Northern Canada to the North Pole, 450 miles away.

The terrain in between is some of the toughest on earth - a mix of mountainous land masses and jagged sea ice where temperatures can drop to a mind-numbing minus 65 degrees Celsius.

Jeremy and James will be driving a specially adapted pick up truck whilst Richard will be travelling on something a little less high tech - a sled pulled by a team of ten Canadian Inuit Dogs.

Who will win in this epic race? Catch the Top Gear special (showing in High Definition) at 8pm on July 25th.

Spread the word!

Hello sarina. If you want to know the list of songs/tracks that were played on the Top Gear Polar Special, click on this link from the excellent Final Gear forum.

This particular thread contain the full tracks used in the programme. As for the challenge to race to the North Pole, that was fantastic! That Toyota Hilux is a remarkable car and can withstand any conditions. Great job by Richard Hammond though and he was so disappointed that he didn’t get to the finish first…

I love how James May was serving G&Ts for Jeremy Clarkson while driving over ‘SMOOTH’ snow!
