The Stig would do good, but I don't have a performance car, so he'd probably get frustrated and do something subversively bad to it. Clarkson would probably run it off the road/fuck up the transmission for pushing it beyond the limit.
I *was* thinking about it as a tabletop event, featuring the three hosts, two producers and The Stig as an NPC (but allowed heavy input from the PCs) but now...
Y'know, given the right gang of maniacs, it could be done as a larp - complete with camera crew and an-admittedly-amateur-level video camera.
Hm. Hmm.... It'd have to be small, though - like their location shoots are. No more than half a dozen players...
Top Gear first! (and then I should go back to work -____-)
- Bake cupcakes for: James May. Or Hammond. I'm sure with his small stature, he'd enjoy the cupcakes more. - Trust with the keys to my car: The Stig! - Put thumbtacks on the chair thereof: Jeremy Clarkson! STOP STEREOTYPING. Us Americans aren't all THAT bad! - Have a crush on: Hammond and the Stig. Stiggy's a Time Lord, you know. - Pack up and leave if they moved next door: Uhh... I don't know. I like them all! Whoever has the loudest cars. - Vote for President: The Stig! - Pick as my partner in a buddy movie: The Stig. Or Hammond. - Pair up: The Stig and a Reliant Robin. Fandom has told me this is his TARDIS. - Vote off the island and into the volcano: The Stig's American cousin... I DON'T KNOW.

I don't know who you are, but I agree with you, 100%! :)

May would keep it clean, too, methinks.
Wow. I totally just geeked out there, sorry!

So, this isn't the time to mention that I *just* got an idea for a one-off "Top Gear" RPG?
Problem is, whoever plays The Stig is going to be awfully bored, in many ways... ;)
