But, it was in that Tiff became a proper household name when he started hosting Top Gear - this was back when TG was a serious, dad-pleasing car review series, with a conspicuous lack of 'car darts' and exploding caravans. Not that Tiff doesn't enjoy taking ridiculous risks for our viewing pleasure.

He once plumbed the watery depths in a prototype car-cum-submarine on Fifth Gear - a stunt that involved signing a declaration to promise nobody would sue if he happened to drown. He hasn't completely severed himself from Top Gear either, he still writes for the magazine and regularly joins the Top Gear blokes to host MPH forming an allegiance of driving greatness which basically blows our minds.

So what does Tiff reckon is his career highlight? The old 'my finger slipped' excuse was used as he showed viewers the ever-so-serious note. From to he raced for the Newcastle United-sponsored Lister Storm team. A former head of the BRDC he continues to take an active role in motor racing, and is an inspiring speaker drawing on focus, mental health and leadership. Former ladies rally champion and TV presenter.

Penny is an accomplished and powerful motivational speaker who has set up a number of businesses. Former motor racing driver and the original Stig on Top Gear. Perry talks about the tiny error of margin in Formula One where millions are spent on finding savings of fractions of a second.

Early memories of exploring the great outdoors, include, scout camps in the New Forest and trips to the Fairey Marine yard on the Hamble, owned by great uncle, Sir Richard Fairey. Boats certainly run in the blood. As a scrutiniser and rule-maker for the inaugural Cowes to Torquay race, Needell senior encouraged his son to compete in junior boats as a teenager.

As soon as I was 17, I dropped the boats and headed for the cars. His luck turned when, aged 19, he entered a competition in Autosport Magazine and hit the jackpot, winning a Formula Ford Lotus 69F. Perhaps I could press the button! Second place on the starting grid in the Belgium Grand Prix was the highlight of his foray into Formula One racing.
