Jesus wept .

Are they trying to make people not watch it

 

[craig_t]

Although it sounds even worse with this new guy I haven't heard of, I am getting more intrigued to watch it and see what it is actually like.

Hasn't Chris Evans recently stacked an old Jag and puked whilst driving a hot lap?

He was a passenger in a v10 R8. Not that i've driven one, but i can imagine being a passenger in one (and any similar car really) round a track would probably turn most people to mush. it would me anyway

 

[Flibster]

EJ?

Nope. Nope nope nope NOPE!

 

[Fr0dders]

About as much as Chris Evans, yes. I can't fathom how an American presenter would work either.

What happened to Sabine and Harris anyway?

Presumably they aren't going to be presenters and have been brought in to do some one off features rather than a regular presenter.

So they need 6 to replace 3?

It's a change in format. Obviously they need to do something different...

 

[JonnyGeee]

wow 6 presenters! I'm not overly keen on any of them really, be interesting to see what they do with the show now.

Fingers crossed they won't try to imitate the previous top gear.

Yet want to keep the Stig. Clearly they don't want to be "too" different.

Perhaps they have never heard of the phrase "too many cooks..."

 

[chroniclard]

hmm, is that Harris, cant stand him or Evans. Not looking good.

 

[Joe T]

There seems to be a lot of folk who want this to fail. Sad really.

 

[Junglist]

This is going to be awful, isn't it?

 

[squerble]

I'm going to reserve my judgement until the episodes are on TV and available to watch. I'm not like some others in that I quite like Harris, and I quite look forward to seeing what Matt LeBlanc can do.

 

[thecremeegg]

I have an open mind - it's about cars so tbh I'l watch it. Shame they had to ruin it by putting Eddie Jordan there....Chris Harris is a good appointment however!

 

[Glanza]

Too many presenters ended up with Fifth Gear going down the pan.

 

[PinkFloyd]

Also open minded here. Having some properly good drivers will open up for more motorsports related stuff which is a win for me. Hope they get utilised well, although I'm more than happy to just watch people hoon around sideways in nice cars.

Who are the 2 guys on the end (excluding the Stig)?

Ah yes, I recognise Eddie Jordan now. Who is to Sabine's right (our left)?
