Top Autotesting Live

Have you ever wondered what Autotesters do in the winter? They fly south, or to be more accurate, they fly south to South Africa, Australia and New Zealand to perform at Top Gear Live. At least that is what Malcolm Livingston did in February when he was asked to join Paul Swift's team as a replacement for Ken Irwin, who had been taken ill and has now fully recovered back in Northern Ireland, at 2 day's notice.

Over a period of 16 days he drove at the events in Johannesburg, Sydney and Auckland in the Caterham 7, Ford Focus RS and helped to destroy several cars during the infamous Top Gear Football matches. By all accounts it was a hectic but enjoyable prequel to the forthcoming Autotest season.
