My kids never fail to inspire me. Today Ollie will complete his epic challenge. 5 ultra marathons in 5 days climbing the equivalent of to the summit of Mount Everest and down again. An epic achievement by an incredible human for #Movember. Proud instagram.com/reel/DCzNabktI…

Our latest issue is out now and to celebrate the TopGear.com Electric Awards features a glow in the dark cover. A truly brilliantly treatment by the TG team and strong contender for cover of the year IMHO. Grab your copy this weekend and marvel at its glowing genius

FIRST DRIVE: The Ioniq 5 might look like a 1980s hot hatch mixed with a dash of concept car and a splash of DeLorean, but what we have here is Hyundai’s first completely bespoke EV...

Porsche could’ve run the new GT3 in by jacking it up and putting a brick on the accelerator. Instead, it gave it to @harrismonkey to go the very long way round to a track day. The results are worth a watch. Enjoy. youtu.be/jJlyB0teZGQ

I never had the pleasure of spending much time with RPJ, or being onboard for one of his legendary & fully committed test drives. His mark on our industry was profound and lasting. PH captures the life and impact of a man who will be sorely missed. RIP RPJ topgear.com/car-news/man-who…

Anyone else watching #ExtremeELive Q1? It’s certainly action packed. If one car at a time in quali is this lively the race tomorrow could get quite spicy!
