BBC issues casting call for 'petrolhead talent' to join new-look Top Gear
The BBC has opened the search for new Top Gear presenters to the public inviting “petrolhead talent” to audition for the show.
Producers issued a casting call for those who “live, breathe and even eat all things automotive” to send in 30-second auditions.
“Do you live, breathe and even eat all things automotive? Can you tell a Maserati from a Mazda by the thrum – or otherwise – of its engine?” asks the post.
“"Do you know more about cars than any sane, balanced human should? Then we want to hear from you!"
Would-be hosts have been asked to keep auditions simple with the closing date of Monday 20 July.
Earlier this week, former host Jeremy Clarkson completed his final lap of the Top Gear track whilst new host Chris Evans hinted he was “very close” to assembling the perfect production team.
