Top Gear is a British television series that focuses on various motor vehicles, primarily cars, in which its hosts conduct reviews on new models, vintage classics, as well as tackling various motoring related challenges, and inviting celebrities to set a time on their specially designed race - course. The programme is a relaunched version of the original 1977 show of the same name. For its first series, the show was presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and Jason Dawe, with support from annoymous race driver, The Stig. After the first series, Dawe was replaced by James May. After the twenty - second series, the line - up was changed after the departure of Clarkson, Hammond and May, in which Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc took over as the main hosts, with a team of co-presenters consisting of Chris Harris, Rory Reid, Eddie Jordan and Sabine Schmitz. After the twenty - third series, Evans departed from the show, leading to LeBlanc being joined by Harris and Reid as the main hosts, with occasional appearances from Jordan and Schmitz. The following is a list of episodes, listed in order of their original UK air date along with featured cars, challenges, and guests.
