Top Gear Russia?! Yes, it’s true, the Top Gear politburo have sanctioned a Russian franchise.
The Top Gear website states, “there’s going to be a Top Gear Russia. Made in Russia for the Russians. A bit like the Aussie TG, but with more back-to-front letters and fewer boomerangs.”
A 15 episode run first series has been locked in, although presenters and studio location are yet to be finalised.
