Top Gear is back like you’ve never seen it before…

Who needs Top Gear when we have dedicated gamers with too much time on their hands?

The editing geniuses from YouTube channel Tanner Productions have painstakingly recreated an episode of Top Gear featuring Clarkson, Hammond and May, simply using the video game Just Cause 2.

In the clip, the trio travels to Panau in South-East Asia for a race, but unsurprisingly, things quickly get out of hand.

Here’s what the main man behind Tanner Productions had to say: “This is my first go at machinima – making video inside a game engine – and about the closest thing to comedy I’ve ever done.

“All the audio and music is credited at the end. My thanks to the BBC for creating Top Gear (even though its future is currently uncertain) and to Square Enix for making Just Cause 2. I’m very much looking forward to the sequel!”

And we’re now looking forward to another episode of Just Cause Top Gear…
