Chicago, Hammerhead and Gambon are three of the corners on the Top Gear test track used for the television series. Now fans of the show can help name corners on the scaled-down tracks that will be used for this year's Top Gear Live.
There are two circuits: the 'Docklands GP' track will be used for the ExCeL, London shows and the 'B20 Raceway' for those based at the NEC, Birmingham. The circuits have been designed in conjunction with the Lotus Formula 1 team. Some of the names suggested include 'How Hard Can it Be?', Cockney Corner and The Hamster Wheel.
The circuits will provide the stage for the usual mixture of stunts, supercars and pyrotechnics. Fans can vote for their favourite corner names at Top Gear Live's Facebook page
www.facebook.com/TopGearLiveUK. The show will run from 11 - 13 November at the NEC and 24 - 27 November at ExCeL.
