5FM shifts into ‘Top Gear'
MPH Top Gear Live - the world of extreme engines, outrageous cars and daredevil stunts - returns this year to Johannesburg, 29 January - 1 February 2009, and 5FM will be there to bring listeners the inside track on all the behind-the-scenes action, as well as crossings from the Coca-Cola dome.
5FM's very own motoring expert and Formula 1 devotee Sasha Martinengo will once again be co-hosting the show with two members of the Top Gear team from BBC Knowledge - British motoring icon Jeremy Clarkson and Richard ‘Hamster' Hammond.
Martinengo will be bringing listeners all the inside scoops from the rehearsals on Thursday and Friday with live crossings to Sureshnie Rider, who will be hosting his show 9am - 12 noon on 5FM.
The live show will comprise up to 16 completely new breathtaking stunts and driving sequences from some of the world's best drivers, as well as some inserts from Top Gear as seen on TV.
