Custard pies in the face, bullets in Iraq, and now missiles from a helicopter gunship in the NEC and Earls Court – it’s all in the line of duty for Jeremy Clarkson, host of this November’s MPH ’05 live motoring spectacle.

The difference at MPH is that it’s pure theatre. Although the audience will be up close and personal as Jeremy’s high-powered Lotus Exige is blasted from the skies, it will all be part of the world’s greatest motor chase illusion created by state of the art pyrotechnics and the very best in advanced 3D animation.

More drama unfolds as the MPH ‘05 show brings the audience inside what must be an innocent family outing’s worst nightmare: a Satellite Navigation system with a death wish, leading them straight into the hands of psychotic anarchists in a real bad part of town.

There really is no way out until a helmeted hero can kick start one of the most adrenalin pumped car chases since Bullet and save these defenceless souls from malicious maniacs in Rage buggies. Can he capture the enemy and do with them what any self-respecting awesome driver with a large crash helmet should do?

Giving the whole show its awesome stage presence and real-life edge is Bafta award-winning creative genius John Napier. Probably better known for his artistic mastery in London’s West End, John has brought the stage to life for millions in world renowned shows such as Starlight Express, Les Misérables and Cats to mention just a few. Now he’s masterminded a million pound motoring spectacular which brings together the highest quality production values and some of the world’s most awesome cars.

MPH ‘05’s revolutionary new format is directed straight at the modern day motoring fan, who doesn’t just want to see great new car debuts and listen to what Britain’s foremost motoring experts have to say, but genuinely wants to feel – and be – part of a full speed motoring extravaganza.
