Top Gear Drives Well on Blu-ray/DVD
August 8th 2011 06:22
I am so excited to tell you about the home video release of Top Gear: The Complete First Season.
Once again, Top Gear races across the pond with the first season of the U.S. version of the world’s most popular car entertainment show. The DVD has hit the streets and is available wherever DVDs are sold. Top Gear: The Complete First Season includes all 10 episodes and exclusive DVD extras!
The debut 3-disc DVD set features comedian Adam Ferrara, champion rally car and drift racer Tanner Foust and racing analyst Rutledge Wood. All three of them bring fun entertainment to the first season with super-cars, extreme stunts and challenges, car reviews, celebrity interviews and, of course, the Stig, Top Gear’s silent and mysterious racing driver. Stig is a kick. The show is chock-full of high-adrenaline action entertainment as it tracks the colorful history of the automobile as well as the eccentric adventures of its hosts with entertaining wit and humor.
In this series, Ferrara, Foust and Wood take on extreme challenges including a favorite of mine “moonshine run along a Prohibition route in the Deep South.” Another cool one is teaching a blind man to drift a Nissan 370Z and racing a HALO jumper in a Hennessey VelociRaptor across the Arizona desert. The Stig also appears to set definitive “Power Laps” and the team tests some of the world’s fastest cars including a Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR, a Porsche Panamera Turbo, an Aston Martin V12 Vantage and more.
Any car lover knows about this show and savors each episode. Celebrity guests take the wheel in the “Big Star, Small Car” segment including astronaut Buzz Aldrin, actors Ty Burrell (Modern Family) and Dominic Monaghan (Lost), musician Bret Michaels and skateboarder Tony Hawk. The audio commentary is very cool, and another special feature is webisodes. I bet you didn’t know about those.
