With a new motoring show in town, it will be a case of Jeremy Clarkson v Chris Evans, as the new Amazon show takes on BBC’s Top Gear.

But how do the two petrol-heads compare? Here is a look at the rivalry in numbers.

Evans takes the chequered flag for the most expensive.

In 2010, the DJ shelled out £12 million for a 1960 Ferrari GTO, one of just 36 built. The Radio 2 presenter added to his Ferrari collection last year, paying £2.27 million at auction for a 1971 Daytona Spyder.

In comparison, Clarkson’s Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder only cost him a measly £147,000.

Driving

Both men have been handed driving bans for speeding.

In 2001, Evans was banned from the road for 56 days for driving his Ferrari 550 Maranello at 105mph in a 70mph zone in Esher, Surrey.

Clarkson was given a three-month ban by the French authorities in 2013 for driving his Aston Martin Vanquish at 88mph.

Money

Clarkson’s net worth is reportedly £30 million. He earned £14 million after the BBC purchased the commercial rights to Top Gear back in 2012.

But Evans trumps that with a fortune in the region of £50 million. In 2000 he sold his production company, Ginger Media Group, to Scottish Media Group in a deal which netted him a massive £75 million.

BBC careers

Evans first worked for the BBC in 1995 when he joined the Radio 1 Breakfast Show. He quit two years later, before returning to Radio 2 in 2005.
