Four Top Gear shows scheduled to take place in Norway this week have been postponed in the wake of Jeremy Clarkson's suspension for allegedly punching a producer.
The presenter's future at the BBC is likely to be decided this week when an internal investigation into his conduct is handed over to the director-general.
The BBC said it would reschedule the Norwegian dates for later this year, with the timing to be confirmed within two weeks.
"We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this will cause fans," the BBC said.
Clarkson has described the past week as "turbulent" and claims he was joking when he appeared to criticise BBC bosses during an expletive-laden rant at a charity event in London.
"By being brief, controversial and a bit sweary I woke the room up and the auction prize I was offering - one last lap of the Top Gear test track - raised STG100,000 ($A192,345)," Clarkson wrote in The Sunday Times.
Clarkson had appeared to suggest he may be sacked and criticised the corporation's executives.
He told the charity event: "To be in the audience of Top Gear there was an 18-year waiting list. You know the BBC has f***ed themselves, and so who gives a f***?
"It was a great show and they f***ed it up."
A petition to have Clarkson reinstated on Top Gear has gathered almost one million signatures and was delivered by tank to BBC headquarters in London on Friday.
Clarkson tweeted his thanks to supporters but declared in his column in The Sun yesterday that "protest never works".
