Recent reports say China will be the next country to take on the successful Top Gear franchise and create its own television program. Rumours have been spreading for a while about the expanding franchise, but now the countrys state broadcaster, CCTV, has apparently confirmed the show will be coming to China.
The show would feature three Chinese characters and work in a similar format to the original Top Gear UK TV program. Reports say it will be produced in and broadcast from Beijing. A pilot date is yet to be announced.
As for the shows characters, only one TV personality has been marked as a likely candicate, Cao Yunjin, who is a well-known movie star in the country.
It could be a good move by the brands creators as Chinas auto industry is currently expanding at an incredible rate. With sales of German and Italian supercar brands increasing by the minute, Top Gear China is likely to hold a very large audience.

After reading this notice, as the Chinese have the habit of imitating everything, I was thinking how will the Chinese Top Gear, as will be done and with what resources, chinese cars?
, I don't know. Even if it is done in the format you already know by Uk T.G., I doubt.
If the chinese T.G. is based on the visual quality of stig photography, the Stig looks a bit tired already.![Smile :) :)](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/smile.svg?v=3)
