From very early on in Top Gear's life the phrase 'We decided to have a race' has appeared often. Some of the races have been brief, and some have been simply epic. Matt LeBlanc, one of the fastest ever celebrities round the Top Gear test track, presents a selection of the greatest and most entertaining races from the past 13 years.
Top Gear: The Races is a special that premiered on January 18, 2016 on BBC America. It focuses on the races that have been held during the history of Top Gear and is hosted by Matt LeBlanc, holder of the fastest time of all celebrities that participated in the Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car with a time of 1:42.0. On February 4, 2016, LeBlanc was announced as the second presenter for the upcoming series of Top Gear.
