Fifth Gear is everything a car enthusiast would want in a magazine format television show.  From super cars and sports utility vehicles to hatchbacks and hybrids, the Fifth Gear team combines its enviable presenting lineup of Timothy 'Tiff' Needell (former Le Mans winner), Jason Plato (multiple Touring Car champion), Vicki Butler-Henderson (a racing driver instructor from the age of 17) and Jonny Smith (serial petrol head and car buyer) – undoubtedly the best and most knowledgeable drivers on television – with a new remit to bring more information than ever before to a global car audience.

Starting January 6, Fifth Gear will air weekdays (Monday to Friday) at 10 PM on Discovery Turbo.
