Luminaries from across the motorsports and esports worlds are getting together to take part in an online competitive gaming version of Top Gear’s ‘Star in a Reasonable Fast Car’.

Swiss-born French IndyCar and former F1 1 driver Romain Grosjean and British F1 and Twitch star Lando Norris will take part, as well as Lando’s teammates from his Quadrant esport team.

Square Enix and Original Fire Games have partnered with BBC Studios and Top Gear for upcoming racing game Circuit Superstars, and the Star in a Reasonably Fast Car Invitational will see motorsports, esports and YouTube personalities racing in Circuit Superstars’ version of the Top Gear ‘Test Track’. This track will also be in the game when it fully launches later this year.

Competitors will race their way to the top of the leaderboard to be crowned champion of the ever so catchy title: ‘BBC Top Gear x Circuit Superstars Star in a Reasonably Fast Car Invitational 2021’ (or ‘BBCTGxCSSIARFCI2021’ for short).

F1 is of one popular sport that has managed to successfully enter esports, with many teams getting involved. It’s also a sport that you can bet on, and some bettors of course choose to gamble with fast payout casinos instead. You can check out the best online casinos that payout in the USA here.

Commentary for both the practice sessions and the hot laps will be hosted by Brit Jack Nicholls, who can be heard lending his voice to BBC Radio 5 Live, F1 and Formula E, as well as the Netflix series Formula 1: Drive to Survive.

“Like every racing fan, I have always wanted to drive the Top Gear test track, and Circuit Superstars is making that a reality. The competition will be tough, with top drivers from a variety of championships and with just one chance to set the perfect hot lap, it will be exciting to see who comes out on top,” said Romain Grosjean.

Commentator Jack Nicholls added: “I’m so looking forward to seeing how our drivers get on. Make no mistake, this game looks cute, but with a very short circuit and a top-down view, our competitors will find it fiendishly difficult to hook up the perfect lap. The competition will be fierce!”

Circuit Superstars will be available for PC, Xbox, PlayStation in 2021 and is currently available on Steam Early Access.
