This video of Matt LeBlanc racing a McLaren 12C shows why he's the perfect addition to 'Top Gear'
"Friends" star Matt LeBlanc will join Chris Evans as a cohost on Top Gear.
The show's relaunch - which is scheduled to premiere May - has been mired in bad press, but if Matt LeBlanc's past performances on the show are anything to go by, he may be the perfect addition to the team.
The actor, like Evans, is a self-confessed petrolhead. He was the fastest "star in a reasonably priced car" on a popular weekly "Top Gear" segment, and he even drove The Stig around the Top Gear track in a 600 bhp McLaren MP4-12C at 207 miles per hour.

LeBlanc took the supercar, which was actually developed and tested on the track, for a spin after he'd finished filming his record-breaking lap in the reasonably priced car, the Kia Cee'd. B but this time he had The Stig as his passenger - no pressure.
If you needed proof that Matt LeBlanc is a perfect addition to the Top Gear team, this is it.
