It’s official: Top Gear](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/top gear) has collected a Guinness World Record. Everyone’s favorite show about three jokers and their automotive exploits is the most widely watched factual TV program - you guessed it - in the world. All told, the original show is viewed in 212 territories around the globe, which is enough to take the honor. [Jeremy Clarkson](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/jeremy clarkson) himself accepted the award on behalf of his cohorts and the crew behind Top Gear, saying only, “I am very proud to be involved in such a factual program.”

Is that a hint of sarcasm we detect, sir?

The show certainly isn’t lacking for fans with a Facebook page boasting over 12.1 million likes and counting.Top Gear snags Guinness record for being world’s most widely watched factual show](http://www.autoblog.com/2012/09/18/top-gear-snags-guinness-record-for-being-worlds-most-wid/) originally appeared on Autoblog on Tue, 18 Sep 2012 17:32:00 EST.
