Top Gear Totally Ridiculous

Top Gear Totally Ridiculous

Author: Tomas Yoko
Date: 2012-06-20
The turn out at the Top gear Festival this weekend saw our Moses Mabhida Stadium swamped with people. People like ants, they were there in their droves, in their thousands, no tens of thousands.

What a fantastic show the whole weekend was. One day at the show was not enough to see everything that was on display. The Bridgestone Production Car Championship added a sense of authenticity to the day with huge spills and their subsequent thrills. The AMG VIP lounge provided an oasis of class and sophistication in he dust and diesel fumes and the Ford Racing Setup at the Kingsmead Swimming pool did their part in providing celebrity. Team drivers Shaun Duminy and Gary Formato mingled with the guests and the pits workshop was open for all to witness the extremely professional approach of their mechanics.

When it comes to Jeremy, James and Richard, these reprobates were hilarious as usual. The F word was flying like an escaped convict around the formal dinner function's marquee. These guys were so sloshed when they arrived. "Do you think it's just an act?" and innocent manufacturer's executive asked me. "No." I replied, "I just wish I could drink as much as they have and still stand up."

My gratitude goes out to Mrecedes-Benz AMG and Ford Racing for hosting me at this incredible show. Next year is sure to be bigger and better.
