TOP GEAR's Jeremy Clarkson Says the BBC 'F-ed Themselves' by Suspending Him

Jeremy Clarkson took one last lap around the TOP GEAR track- literally and emotionally.

The co-host of BBC's hit automobile show was recently suspended following a dispute with TOP GEAR producer Oisin Tymon and has been fired. Clarkson still appeared at a TOP GEAR charity event, at which he commented on his situation, "The BBC have f-ed themselves," said Clarkson. "It was a great show and they f-ed it up."

Following the news of his suspension, co-hosts Richard Hammond and James May refused to continue the show without Clarkson, as a result of which, the BBC has had to pull TOP GEAR altogether.

Clarkson ran a lap around the TOP GEAR track to raise £100,000 ($108,373) for underprivileged children at the Roadhouse Gala. "I didn't foresee my sacking but I would like to do one last lap." Clarkson added. "So I'll go down to Surrey and I'll do one last lap of that track before the f-ing bastards sack me."

The BBC has said they are still considering the disagreement between Clarkson and Tymon and will officially decide how to move forward long-term at a later time.

One of the UK's most popular series since 1977, Top Gear now brings its high-adrenaline action entertainment to America. Top Gear delves into the colorful history of the automobile and showcases an offbeat celebration of the art of driving, featuring super-cars, extreme stunts and challenges, car reviews and celebrity interviews, as well as the eccentric adventures of its hosts with Top Gear's customary wit and humor. Hosted by comedian and car buff Adam Ferrara, champion rally and drift racer Tanner Foust and racing analyst Rutledge Wood, Top Gear explores the history of America, one lap at a time.
