Drag racing runs in America’s blood, and now Ford, Chevy, and Dodge make production drag cars that anyone can buy and race in a professional-level race. Two of the hosts will get the chance to compete in the Gatornationals drag race in these vehicles, but to find out which two, they must compete a series of challenges in “resto-mod” muscle cars designed to see which of them has the skills it takes to race in the big leagues.

Details on Top Gear:

The new episodes from this season’s Top Gear will take viewers on a wild ride from the backcountry of Arizona into the Grand Canyon, through the Appalachian Trail and even to the Autobahn in Germany for the ultimate high-speed road trip. Adam, Tanner and Rutledge never fail to stand up to every limit, no matter where they are in the world. The guys do everything from testing extreme ways to plow through snow, drag race in muscle cars at the Gatornationals and test how much abuse a car can withstand and still run.

Even more exciting are the one-of-a-kind experiences, such as testing the most expensive and aggressive Camaro ever built, and racing the exclusive Bowler EXR-S street-legal rally car against an enduro bike in the Scottish Highlands.

Featuring international road trips, extreme stunts, insane challenges and hilarious chaos, Top Gear is the home for anyone with a love of cars. Full of high-adrenaline action entertainment, the series tracks the colorful history of the automobile as well as the bizarre adventures of its hosts with Top Gear’s customary wit and humor.
