Denise McCluggage, another noted female racing driver, could also probably outdrive Clarkson, even up in years as she is now. She still does a regular automotive column called "Drive, She Said".

If you watched Top gear more, it's like watching the Man Show but with cars. The show isn't about hitting the apex perfectly or the perfect downshift. it's about destroying caravans and dropping pianos on morris marinas.

Kinda like watching WWF/WWE. You don't watch it for sport of wrestling, you watch it as entertainment. You don't watch top gear for car reviews, you watch it for the stupid humour.

I would take what clarkson says with a grain of salt, the guy just talks smack about everything.

It is entertainment, it works, they have novel competitions and the 3 different personalities work.

top gears great the way it is. Jeremy's right, a woman thrown into it would completely change it.
