| This Wiki [[Main Page/Mission Statement|aims]] to be a '''complete''' resource for all things televisual and written in the world of cars.<br>
| |
|
| |
|
| In order to classify for inclusion, the programme must satisfy at least one of the following criteria:
| |
| *Present some form of journalistic automotive content in a serious and factual manner
| |
| *Feature road testing and reviews of then-new vehicles
| |
| *Air on television or on a major streaming service
| |
| *Have a direct lineage to the ''[[Top Gear]]'' concept created by [[Derek Smith]] (i.e. ''[[Fifth Gear]]'', ''[[Panic Mechanics]]'', ''[[The Grand Tour]]'') - this automatically '''overrules''' any other rule
| |
| *Accompany a magazine or other regular publication (i.e. ''[[Hot Version]]'', ''[[Motorweek_(American_TV_series)|Motorweek]]'')
| |
|
| |
| Programs cannot:
| |
| *Be exclusively satirical or farcical in nature
| |
| *Be internet-exclusive (otherwise this Wiki would be flooded with poorly-made, mass-produced Vlogs)
| |
| *Be exclusively focused on the re-building, restoration, or modification of cars (e.g. ''Car SOS'', ''Wheeler Dealers'', ''Pimp My Ride'' etc.)
| |
| *Be exclusively focused on the purchase and sale of classic cars (e.g. ''Chasing Classic Cars'', ''Bangers & Cash'' etc.)
| |
| *Be exclusively focused on motorsport unless the show is a child program of ''[[Top Gear]]'' or a related programme (i.e. ''[[Rally Report]]'', ''[[Top Gear Motorsport]]'', Grand Prix reports hosted on ''[[Wheelbase]]'' etc.)
| |
| *Orignate outside Europe, Russia, North America, Brazil, East Asia (Japan, Korea etc.) or Australia, otherwise there'd be hundreds of low-budget, likely lost automotive programs this Wiki would have to list<br><br>
