Top Gear Top 40 is a television series that broadcasts on BBC America, a channel dedicated to British programs that are popular in America. The show showcases the best moments, challenges, and stunts from the hit BBC show Top Gear, which ran for 22 seasons before ending in 2015. It is hosted by Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid, who were all presenters on the original show.

The show has 10 episodes, and each episode counts down ten of Top Gear's most memorable moments. These moments are chosen by fans of the show who voted on BBC America's website. The voting was open to people all over the world, and people were asked to choose their favorite Top Gear moments, such as the time the presenters drove across Botswana, or the episode where they tried to build an amphibious car.

The countdown begins with number 40, and each episode reveals the next ten moments until the top five are finally revealed in the final episode. The episode starts with a short introduction by one of the presenters, who explains what made that moment so special. They then show the full Top Gear segment, which is usually around 10-15 minutes long. After the segment ends, the presenter discusses the moment and why it was so memorable.

The moments in the countdown cover a wide range of Top Gear's history. Some of the moments are from the early seasons, such as when the presenters drove across Vietnam on motorcycles, while others are from later episodes, like the time they tried to make the world's smallest car. The Top 40 moments include classic challenges like making amphibious cars, building caravans, and going on long road trips. There are also segments that showcase the presenters' unique talents, like the time Richard Hammond drove a car up the side of a dam, or the time James May flew a toy glider over the English Channel.

Top Gear Top 40 is not just a nostalgia trip for Top Gear fans. The show also reveals many interesting behind-the-scenes facts about the making of the show. The presenters share their memories of making each episode, and explain some of the planning that went into the segments. For example, they reveal how difficult it was to find a boat that was capable of towing a car across the English Channel, or how they had to be rescued by the army while filming the Botswana special.

The show is presented in a lighthearted and humorous style that Top Gear fans have come to expect. The presenters are clearly passionate about the show, and their enthusiasm is infectious. There are plenty of jokes, puns, and witty one-liners throughout the show, which make it entertaining even for people who are not necessarily Top Gear fans.

Overall, Top Gear Top 40 is a must-watch for any fan of the original Top Gear. It is a fitting tribute to one of the most successful and beloved car shows of all time. It is also a great introduction to the show for people who have never seen it before, as it showcases some of the most entertaining and memorable moments from the show's 22-season run.
