TopGear hosted their 9th annual TopGear Magazine Awards at Mumbai. 2016 was a year that was filled with amazing automobiles. Awards are a must every year and TopGear have made sure to take the best decision in doing so. The night witnessed the deserving metals being felicitated with the most recognized symbol of excellence in the automotive world, The Stig. The awards were attended by the crème de la crème from the automobile industry.Speaking about TopGear Magazine awards, Girish Karkera, Editor, BBC TopGear Magazine said,
It's been a rather interesting mix of cars and bikes that we ended up short listing for the 9th edition of BBC TopGear Magazine India Awards. It was a tough task zeroing in on some of the categories like SUV, urban car, and limo of the year. But I strongly feel we have managed to select the more deserving machine. At TopGear, we celebrate the joy and fun of driving. All our winners, irrespective of price and engine capacity, have that core value. They truly deserve the Stig.
The event was honored by The Park by Lodha, Hindustan University, Victorinox, Big Boy Toys, SBI Bank, Sofitel BKC and Pause Wines. The Ducati Scrambler was awarded the best motorcycle last year. Let us see what TopGear have this year for us.
