Does anyone know when Top Gear is back officially beyond January, or have they not announced that yet?

SIARPC was awful but overall a solid back to basics episode. Here's to a good season!

Is it just me, or did it sound like the Bentley was on winter tires up against the Ferrari on something else (summer!?)?

Loved the challenge in the end. :)

Several cameras, mirrors, have you seen how they did it in matrix?

Ah, haven't seen how they did it in the matrix. I'll take a look, thanks.

Just saw the Ferrari California part. I can't even imagine how the logistics of that worked with insurance, shooting, and driving it through town. I remember they had another Ferrari (GTO?) a few seasons back and they didn't let them drive it on the track.

Hey guys how's everyone been going? :)

Just posting to say that I just watched my first episode of American Top Gear, the episode where they take trucks across Alaska and I'm kicking myself for not watching this show sooner.

There's no new news about British Top Gear returning beyond summer/fall right?

The last episode of Top Gear US was pretty great, at the end they raced the McLaren MP4 against a NASCAR car, which was loving amazing to watch.

That was one of the best ideas they've had in any Top Gear, be it US or UK.

Which is very true, which is why you don't have that segment at all. It's not like this was foisted upon them by god. The producers planned this segment and thought it was a good idea. And from there it was a logical extension to get Tanner behind the wheel for the reasons you state. The problem is that they do stuff like this over and over and over, and I'm tired of Tanner being the one to review all of the cars.

I just want to be entertained by my car show, dammit, I don't care how they do it.

Disagree about ditching the segment. Top Gear USAs host dynamic may not be great and up for debate, but that segment was one of the most interesting things I've seen on any version of Top Gear.

Just watched this episode expecting half of it to bash Americans and came away pretty confused over how butthurt some here seemed to be.

I really hope they put some cars around the track. I'm curious how fast the Alfa ran and I'm still hoping they put the 991 around the track some time.

I mean I guess September will still count as summer for a bit. :v:

looks like there's a couple 'buy a cheap vehicle and have a series of challenges' a tribute to Peugeot, and Hammond goes to Canada in a F-150 SVT Raptor - gently caress yes.

Is there any news on when it'll be starting?

Does anyone know the name of the song they were playing at the end of the first race sequence?

edit: figured out I could Shazam it. It's from Captain America: Winter Soldier and called Taking a Stand.

Loved the Goldeneye soundtrack for St. Petersburg. They got in a couple songs from the Inception soundtrack as well.

Did they say Hammond's bike weighed 860 grams? That seems really light, even for a $15,000 bike.

That's for the frame only. The whole bike weighs closer to 15-16 lbs. still insanely light.

Top Gear magazine was allowed to, which is different obviously, but still it has happened

In that article they alluded to the fact that they were forbidden to take all three on a track.
