New season of Top Gear

[slummingangel]

I like the trio as a whole, they really do work well together. The Eddie Jordan bits make me cringe though, that Ecclestone interview was difficult watching last night.

[crank_case]

Agreed, but he wasn't that bad in old, old, even older, Top Gear.

He was rarely great either..

Bring back William Woollard!

I guess we used another thread for this but this is the one I found...

Covid-19 safe Top Gear is back. I like the audience idea with the cars. They can probably do more with that. As for the content, I don’t really care about fleet cars and I don’t really care that much about a 1,000bhp Ferrari so probably not the most exciting episode but at least it’s back.

[fast focus]

My missus made me turn it off and for once I agreed with her that was pure garbage...

but if you want to watch some good youtube content I really enjoyed watching this today in between testing cars. Major respect for that build.

Nice video, that fella has a few skills putting that car together.

Definitely unique, even the man letting the cars onto the track at the beginning was impressed and I'm sure he
sees everything going on track including all the latest and very expensive models.

Damn, I love that, what a fantastic car.

So then, Season 30 of Top Gear returns on Sunday night. Given the travel restrictions of recent times it seems filming has been UK based, which led to them featuring UK-available cars, which in turn seems to have led to a lean towards rallying legends. Or at least that's the impression given by the first trailer and early pics which are available. UK-based filming also seems we're likely to see classics and British stuff like Astons being featured, and maybe expect a TVR and some pratting about in Wales at what was/is to be the new TVR factory. Accompanied by Ming's mid-life crisis and some 80s/90s rally legends.

Rally derived icons, with the new GR.
Quattros, integrales, Cossies, and Lancers. One road going version of each, & one competition version of each.

That it is...

Top Gear, that's still going is it?

30 seasons no less, 30 seasons! In fairness the last 2 seasons have been entertaining in a 'brain-off-don't-expect-much' kind of way. But it's a weekend entertainment show, not a motoring or car enthusiast show.

[Wrasslers]

Top Gear for big budget light entertainment. Even if it is a bit childish I still enjoy it.

YouTube for in depth or niche enthusiast car stuff. I don't think anyone would watch M539 Restorations if it was on TV.
