Top gear filming in Sri Lanka

Top gear filming in Sri Lanka

The first look at Top Gear Series 26 was released a few days ago and has fans around the world , especially in Sri Lanka excited!
Set to be Matt LeBlanc’s final season, fans finally get a glimpse of what the popular actor came to Sri Lanka to film last year, racing in a tuk tuk across Sri Lanka. The Tuk tuks in Sri Lanka have 200 CC 4 stroke petrol engine which is only a bit bigger than a land mover. It has a three speed gear box with hydraulic breaks.
Driving on Sri Lankan roads would have been interesting as Matt would have driven around the pedestrians that randomly crossed the roads and the buses that drove according to their own rules. The wild life such as Monkeys, Cows & Monitor lizards too would have been noticed. However, Matt managed to roll the tuk tuk down through the tea plantations.
