Barbados To Host 2014 Top Gear Festival

PR Newswire

NEW YORK, Dec. 18, 2013


NEW YORK, Dec. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Top Gear Festival will make its Americas debut on the Caribbean island of Barbados at the newly renovated Bushy Park Circuit on May 17-18, 2014. Hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, Top Gear Festival Barbados will feature an awe-inspiring line up of cars and driving talent including The Stig, the Top Gear Stunt Team and guest drivers from the world of motorsport and entertainment.  Stars will take to the track in a series of Top Gear style stunts and features for the action packed weekend. Tens of thousands of visitors are expected to flock to Bushy Park as the circuit reopens for the first time since its renovation by Bushy Park Circuit Inc, the developer and local promoter of the event.

Richard Sealy, Minister of Tourism and Transportation, The Barbados Tourism Authority commented:
"The realization of this dream has been a long time coming.  Barbados is already the base for the celebrated Sol Rally Barbados, which has seen the cream of the crop of the rally world compete on our island's roads and hosting Top Gear Festival, now places Barbados firmly at the heart of Caribbean motorsport.  We have identified events and niches that are integral to the viability of our industry and Top Gear Festival ticks these boxes. Essential plans and actions are well on track for the project with Bushy Park Circuit promising to be the perfect venue. We look forward to welcoming a wide audience to the island with fans expected to travel from the UK, North America, Europe, Caribbean and Brazil."

Previous Top Gear Live events have seen Jeremy, Richard and James play host to famous faces including Mark Webber, who set the Sydney Motorsport Park lap record in the Red Bull Racing Formula 1 car, two-time MotoGP World Champion Casey Stoner, two-time Formula 1 World Champion Mika Hakkinen, rally driver Ken Block, F1 race winner David Coulthard, F1 World Champion Jody Scheckter and larger-than-life F1 personality Eddie Jordan. To date Top Gear Live events have been seen by over 1.8 million visitors, with the show traveling to 21 cities in 15 countries. 

Firmly established as the greatest motoring theater show in the world, Top Gear Live events have featured a number of jaw-dropping stunts including the world's first indoor loop-the-loop which earned the show a Guinness World Record, an F1 ice-cream van, a heart-stopping 300ft car bungee and a fleet of flaming 911 Porsches.

Next year's Top Gear Festival, Barbados is expected to attract tens of thousands of petrol-heads keen to see the world famous presenters, guest drivers and celebrities in action and take part in this true celebration of all things motoring. Visitors are encouraged to book early so as not to miss the most exciting new event on 2014's entertainment and motoring calendar.  Bushy Park is a short drive from the island's capital Bridgetown and from the international airport.

James Cooke-Priest, Top Gear Live Chief Operating Officer said:
"We are delighted to be working with the Barbados Tourism Authority and the Bushy Park Circuit following their extensive efforts to secure a Top Gear Festival for 2014. Having enjoyed successes in many countries around the world we're looking forward to playing a major part in the re-launch of Bushy Park Circuit in May, and being an annual fixture in the Barbados motorsport calendar as the new circuit gains global recognition.  Top Gear Festival, Barbados joins an extensive calendar of events for 2014 with dates already announced in the UK, Australia & South Africa. Further destinations are in development and will be announced in the New Year."

The official event website and online ticket sales will go live in mid-January at http://www.topgearfestivalbarbados.com. For more information on travel to Barbados, visit http://www.visitbarbados.org.

I'm happy that our Bajan brothers have an official race track. It's a shame that Anil cannot get his act together and do the same for Trinidad.

this track will be the only FIA Grade 3 track in the Caribbean. Alot of teams from Europe have expressed interest in doing testing and stuff there. This is a major big deal. And sadly Trinidad is behind.

It is truly sad to know that we have a striving petrochemical economy, yet a country that bases its economy on tourism, has that level of motorsports. Trinidad really really sad boy.... Better we live in barbados an visit trini yes.

Sport tourism. They know they can fill hotel rooms by having that Top Gear event, Rally Barbados and racing at Bushy Park Racing Circuit.

hard to say since both days will have activity and the same thing won't happen both days such as the Rallycross has qualifying on Saturday and racing on Sunday - however with rallycross not all the cars may survive or be in one piece come Sunday.

honestly you going to pay for airfare, hotel, rental car and go on the beach when you know Top Gear activity going on and you missing out?

Go both days FTW

And copying this from elsewhere...
The one that achieved this…The following Events cancelled in 2014 due to the collaborative efforts of their Bandit and certain corrupt security personnel:
(1) ARA on 12th Jan.
(2) TTKA Event carded for 19th Jan.
(3) NARA Drag Racing at Camden on 26th Jan
(4) ARA Test and Tune at ARC on 26th Jan.
(5) The TTASA AGP Event on 26th Jan. – backlash?
(6) TTKA Event on the 9th Feb.
(7) ARA on 16th February.

In addition the organizers in Barbados contacting the major players in T&T who organized Championship Events in 2013 to offer special prizes for their competitors to attend this Event, based on Events staged in 2014, what a mess they have us in...
