Gamers recreate Top Gear using Just Cause 2 footage

Jeremy Clarkson is back. Sort of...

Top Gear fans rejoice: You can now get a dose of your favourite car-based chat show thanks to a team of gamers with (arguably) too much time on their hands.

Using footage from Just Cause 2, YouTube channel Tanner Productions have painstakingly recreated an episode of the BBC flagship show featuring Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May.

The clip shows the trio travelling to Panau in South-East Asia for a race, but – quelle surprise – things get out of hand quickly…

The guy behind Tanner Productions said: “This is my first go at machinima – making video inside a game engine – and about the closest thing to comedy I’ve ever done.”

It’s a great effort guys, nice work.
