Event TV: Xbox takes to Top Gear track for game launch

Xbox invited four YouTube stars down to the Top Gear test track today (18 September) to mark the launch of the new Forza Motorsport 6 game in the UK.

Mysterious Top Gear character The Stig was recruited to drive each participant - ProSyndicate, MasterOv and Car Throttle - a team of two - around the track in a Bentley Continental.

The YouTube stars raced against The Stig on an Xbox One, which was set-up in the backseat of the car, essentially creating a race-within-a-race experience.
