After Top Gear offended the Muslims on the entire globe, now the Christians have found reasons of blasphemy in the already famous Christmas Special episode.

The Top Gear team managed to spark a new scandal. This time the Brits have upset two very different religions in the same time, in the Top Gear Season 16 Episode 1. It seems that the visit of the three Brits in Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Jordan have offended the two biggest religions of the world. The Muslims and the Christians have been upset by the actions of the three stars of the famous car show and by their shallowness in some situations considered hilarious by some.

While the Muslims have been offended by the fact that the Brits have worn the traditional burkhas, the Christians have been upset by scene at the end of the episode. The scene presents Stig replacing Jesus, a fact that upset the conservative Christians. On the other hand the Muslims have found nothing unusual with this scene. The BBC officials have not announced the number of complaints after the Top Gear Christmas Special was aired.

The Top Gear team is not at their first scandal, as Jeremy Clarkson was the cause of an impressive number of problems. More precisely, Clarkson was caught talking at the cell phone while driving and even declared that he once did 185 mph on the public roads in Great Britain. The entire Top Gear Live show in Australia have upset the fans because they brought copies of Ferrari 360 Spyder instead of the original model in order to save some money.

The three wise men of Top Gear managed to ignite a large scale religious scandal!

The three kings of Top gear, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May started a big religious scandal, because of the Top Gear Christmas Special Episode, when they tried to remake the journey of the Three Wise Men, from Iraq, via Turkey, Syria and Jordan, before reaching the destination point, Bethlehem.

During the show, the three hosts worn, at a point, the famous traditional clothes, burkhas, the Muslim women wear, but the element that brought trouble for them was the cloth covering their faces, the niqab.

Although the initial plan was that the burkhas to somewhat disguise the three hosts of Top Gear, the result was a offense to a significant segment of their audience, counting around 6.6 million viewers.

According to the British publication, The Daily Mail, the viewers were troubled, and tagged their action as am offense to the world’s second biggest religion. Until now, neither Top Gear, nor one of the three stars of the show, made no official statements to apologize for what they did.

Here is the Top Gear Season 16, Episode 1, of course incuding the infamous scene:

Hammond, Clarkson and May will play the role of The Three Kings in the Top Gear episode dedicated to this year’s Christmas. The three hosts of the famous TV show are already shooting in Middle East.

The Top Gear team prepares a huge surprise to their fans, now that the Winter Holidays are near. The heroes of the TV show, James May, Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond are shooting a new episode in the Middle East, trying to remake the route of the Magi.

BBC confirmed the producers’ intention to shoot a Christmas episode called “In search of The Baby Jesus.” Although the Bible doesn’t give too many details about the route of the Three Kings, the only information is that they were coming from East, so the producers have tried to remake the route as close as possible.

So, Clarkson, May and Hammond will start from Irak, along Eufrat river, to Syria and then Jordan, for then to stop in Israel, to find Bethlehem. Of course, we will only see the final route when the show will be on the screens of our TV sets, with this special episode dedicated to the holidays.

In order to drive around the sensible-enough area, the hosts of the most popular automotive TV show in the world, will have three famous roadster, that broke a lot of hearts some years ago. We are talking about Fiat Barchetta, Mazda MX-5 and BMW Z3.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a a meeting. Top Gear America debuts on November 21. But until then the guys from History Channel show us a teaser, that says a lot.

You will remember that we announced a new US version of your favourite show earlier this year. Well, here’s some more news: the first glimpse of America’s very own Top Gear has been released.

The three presenters are: Adam Ferrara, Tanner Foust and Rutledge Wood. So we will bring you more news as we get it. Of course we’d miss (or not) the malicious remarks of Jeremy Clarkson to any car that is not built in Great Britain, the shaggy look of James May (you know, the guy who drives just a little bit faster than your granny) and the… the… of Richard Hammond, anyway what is he doing in the show?

For sure we’ll miss that masked driver (yeah, yeah we all know that he is Ben Collins), but we’ll sure get some action for Tanner Foust. With three new guys, but keeping the same format, Top Gear America will be an interesting TV show and the American cars will provide a maximum show.

The success the Top Gear TV show enjoys at the moment determined the BBC officials to develop a game that will have the same name as the TV show. So Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, Top Gear TV Show hosts might soon become the stars of the game with the same name.

The rumors about the development of such a game, come from the specialists in the field from the British publication MCV. They said that the game might see the sun light sometime towards the end of 2010. The programmers will develop the game both for video consoles and PC. So, besides Xbox 360, PS3 and PC the developers are seriously taking in consideration a version for iPad and iPhone.

We’ll see soon if this is just a rumor or Top Gear The Game will really see the sun light. Until then, all we have to do is wait and enjoy the TV series.

The current Stig, the famous Top Gear test driver, hidden behind a white petticoat, plans to publish his autobiography. Revealing the identity would end the contract with Top Gear. Sources within the BBC’s famous claim that Britain Stig, Top Gear shows star, plans to publish his autobiography in the future. Pilot testing, which has never shown his face  before, could end his career in Top Gear Team, walking on the footsteps of his predecessor, the Black Stig, who was exiled from the same point.

Old Stig has published autobiography without the BBC approve when fans learned the true identity of the man behind the slip: Perry McCarthy, a former Formula 1 pilot. Auto show successful filmmakers decided then to  fake a tragic end famous Black Stig, whose place was taken immediately by the current star of the  broadcast show.

It is understood that disclosure of the identity is contingent on a contract that Stig wants to violate it, even at the risk of losing their place in the show.

It seems that the driver behind the slip is dissatisfied with the remuneration received by the BBC, much lower than stars Jeremmy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond.
