With applications already received from as far as Kazakhstan, it's going to be a hotly contested position.
Speaking about the criteria for the role, Evans explained: "You've got to know something about cars - you can be a mechanic, you can be an amateur racing driver, you can be a guy who's a fireman but has been building his own Land Rover in his shed for five or 10 years... but you've got to know about cars.
He went on to say the hosts could be "male, female, young or old, it doesn't matter."
"Evans added: "Will we have one host, two hosts, three hosts? Will we have hosts who come and go depending what's on the programme that night?"
The Radio 2 presenter had previously stated that a female co-host was a definite for the series, following his announcement as lead host of the show.
