Well we were lucky enough to attend the production of the very first episode of Top Gear Australia (aires 29th September).

So what did we think? We were about as excited as an ethiopian with a hamburger to begin with. Upon entering the hangar at Bankstown Airport, we were presented with Australia’s new top gear studio. The hangar looked pretty much identical to what the UK studio looks like on the box. A few cars littered around the outer edge of the hangar with a couple of couches on the center stage. Not to mention a few walls scattered with parts the local wrecker had probably been two steps from turfing into the bin.

Top Gear Australia has now been confirmed to air in late September! The hosts of our Aussie version are Charlie Cox, Warren Brown and Steve Pizzati (pictured below), who describe themselves as the “ugliest men to go on television” will grace our screens, along with the Aussie Stig.

I’d absolutely love to see their audition tapes and even more interested in who the Aussie Stig is going to be. Have to be one of our current V8 drivers maybe maybe??
