France adapts local version of Top Gear

French channel RMC Découvert gets in the driver's seat for a local version of Top Gear.

2014-09-02_0123France is set to adapt Top Gear for the local market.

Digital Spy reports French channel RMC Découverte, which already shows the UK and US version of Top Gear, will air the series in 2015.

The Director of Entertainment Brands at BBC Worldwide, Adam Waddell, said: “The French have some amazing roads and incredible scenery which is why Top Gear UK has often filmed there.

“Now French petrol heads are going to have their own version of the programme and I have no doubt that the hosts will bring their own personality and sense of humour to the new show. I can’t wait to watch it develop.”

Local versions of Top Gear have aired in Australia, Russia, South Korea and the US.

A Chinese version is also in the works for later this year.
