Lewis Hamilton, 2008 Formula One World Champion, is set to join the star-studded line-up of world famous presenters and motor sport legends at Top Gear Festival, which debuts in Barbados this May.
The Mango Bay Hotel Group properties, Mango Bay Hotel and Island Inn Hotel are providing event-goers with the perfect places to unwind during this action-packed weekend.
The festival, which is known as the greatest motoring theater show in the world, is making its Americas debut in Barbados from May 17-18, 2014.
Hamilton, 29, has an enviable career including records for the most consecutive podium finishes from debut, most wins and pole positions in a debut season and, most notably, was the youngest driver to win the F1 World Driver’s Championship in 2008.
Other world champions and race winners due to appear at Top Gear Festival Barbados include David Coulthard, Mark Webber, Mika Hakkinen, Jody Scheckter and Eddie Jordan.
Top Gear Live events have featured a number of jaw-dropping stunts, including the world’s first indoor loop-the-loop which earned the show a Guinness World Record, an F1 ice-cream van, a heart-stopping 300-foot car bungee and a fleet of flaming 911 Porches.
