On top of being a well-known car enthusiast, Chris is a radio and television presenter who is best known for his work for the BBC.

While appearing on television in the UK he announced the auditions weren't for 'famous people, ex-famous people, up-and-coming famous people, but for people who are watching the show.”

'Male, female, old, young, it doesn't matter,” says Chris. 'The one thing that does matter is that you've got to have a real appetite for cars, and you've got to know something about cars.”

'You can be a mechanic, you can be an amateur racing car driver, you can be a guy who's a fireman but who's been building his own Land Rover in his shed for five years, but you've got to know about cars.”

To get into the running for a spot on the presenting team you must be over 16 and will have to submit a video clip of yourself that is no longer than 30 seconds.

Evans advice was: 'It should just be you, to camera from the waist up. No stunts, no gimmicks, just you talking to camera.”

Candidates will then be whittled down before being invited to audition live for Evans and the Top Gear production team.

He added there was ‘no guarantee' a member of public would be selected for the final presenting team and that it would 'only happen if there's anything good.”

How good would it be to watch a Kiwi on one of the world's most popular motoring shows? Some might say it would be ‘choice as bro!'
