Jeremy Clarkson, presenter of the popular BBC programme Top Gear, said last night that staging the Top Gear Festival in Barbados was a given since he had been coming to the island on holiday for 18 years and “this is a country I absolutely adore”.
Clarkson and other members of the Top Gear team were guests at a reception hosted by British High Commissioner Victoria Dean at her official residence, Ben Mar, where champion driver Lewis Hamilton made a brief appearance, causing a stir when he arrived.
Hamilton has had a string of winning performances on the international racing circuit recently and said he was excited to be in Barbados participating in the Top Gear Festival.
