Top Gear USA's Tanner Foust Gives An Indepth Interview
Some things you may already know about Tanner Foust: He’s a successful professional racer. He’s the 2007 US Formula Drift champion and currently leading the 2008 championship. Foust contests the US Rally America championship and won the 2007 X-Games Rally Super Special beating action sports super star, Travis Pastrana and World Rally Championship legend, Colin McRae (RIP) in the process.

Tanner was a stunt driver for Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and The Dukes of Hazard and most recently The Bourne Ultimatum — he’s the dude chasing Matt Damon in NYC. He’s also had some on-air auto show hosting experience on Speed TV’s Supercar’s Exposed and Import Tuners. Some things you don’t know: He spends a lot of time smelling cars. Tanner learned to drift in when he was 12-years-old.

He’s gotten lost behind the Orange Curtain with Jeremy Clarkson and thinks a 1973 Cadillac Coupe de Ville is the perfect car for a high school kid. As you may have guessed, Tanner’s quite excited about the upcoming NBC adaptation of Top Gear. Autofiends sat down with Tanner to quiz him about the show, his co-hosts and his racing background. For the record, Tanner’s calling Eric Stromer a “car guy.”

From the interview, he seems like a pretty chill guy. I wonder if he will get as worked up as Hamster.

Are the UK topgear guys such as Hamster, Clarkson, and Mayweather race car professionals?

No. None of the current presenters are race car drivers.

I used to come here many, many times per day. Since when is drifting any more professional the racing riding lawnmowers?

Autospies is becoming less and less relavant...

That's funny looser. How many hundreds of thousands of dollars a year do you make in your computer business? Loser...

I bet you consider belt sander racing an automotive sport. I bet you watch drifting. Loser.
