Top Gear is a British motoring magazine and television show surrounding motor vehicles. In 2002, a revamp to the format of the show was undertaken. Now a studio based form, it relaunched under the same title of the original TV programme from 1977.
Content from Top Gear has been provided to Forza since Forza Motorsport 3, after a "long-term" deal was signed to collaborate and co-promote on all future Motorsport titles.[1]
Top Gear's integration into the Forza series extended into the Horizon series, beginning with Forza Horizon, however, the show did not make an appearance in Forza Horizon 3.
