Clarkson, Richard Hammond and Tiff Needell are back too, to front the extravaganza that is MPH 05.
To give you a taster of what to expect, we visited the show at Birmingham�s NEC last weekend, held as a precursor to the London coming up on this one. The main attraction was the 5,000-seater auditorium, hosting the 75-minute live show: Prepare to be amazed as fast cars driven by fast, slightly unhinged drivers all battle to out-drama each other; the most sideways, the most tyre smoke, the most engine revs, the furthest out of the car while still lapping the course and waving to the crowd. It�s stunning and the best hour and a bit you�ll spend sitting on your bum. Choreographed by John Napier � of Cats, Starlight Express and Les Miserables fame � [color:“red”] a �chase� between a Lotus Exige and a helicopter gunship was probably the most stunning aspect; the helicopter isn�t quite �real, but that�s all we�re saying[/color]
Anyone been?
