Top Gear Live Wows A Record-Breaking Crowd

Top Gear Live is already firmly established as the greatest motoring theatre show in the world and has conquered new peaks by performing to a record-breaking crowd of more than 58,000 fans in Warsaw's National Stadium in Poland on Saturday 21 September. It is the largest single night attendance at a Top Gear Live extravaganza, which once again highlights the show's large global appeal. The unmatched number of fans packed into the arena were entertained by the three stars from the award-winning BBC TV show - Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, together with driving legend 'The Stig'. The dramatic evening's action-packed performance was filled with an astonishing array of flying stunts, dazzling fiery displays, fun-filled races in Reliant Robins, a glittering array of the world's finest supercars and a host of crazy challenges.

The evening reached its climax with a madcap car football match in Suzuki Swifts with Clarkson, Hammond, May and The Stig representing England by taking on a team of Polish opponents.

“It was one heck of a thrill performing in front of such a huge and brilliant audience,” admitted Clarkson. “Being plucky Brits we did the honorable thing and lost the football match but overall we all had an amazing experience – it was an evening I’ll remember for a very, very long time.”

The record breaking performance in Warsaw is the latest in a world tour which has seen the daring Top Gear Live team perform spectacular shows in Moscow, Sydney, Amsterdam, Antwerp and Durban over the last 12 months. As well as providing unrivalled automotive focused entertainment to global audiences, Top Gear Live continues to push the boundaries of motoring theatre, whether it’s working with top F1 teams in South Africa or bungee jumping cars in Red Square. The internationally famous Top Gear Stunt Team has also performed a number of groundbreaking feats including the Deadly 720 – the world’s first double loop-the-loop on both two and four wheels.

Although last weekend's biggest show in Poland was a fitting finale to Top Gear Live's world tour in 2013, more events are planned for next year. Take a closer look at what happened in our gallery.
