*** Top Gear - New Series ***

"Fire up the blues and twos - Top Gear is back! Our first episode sees the presenters on the hunt for the perfect police pursuit vehicle. We'll be putting their home-made cop cars through their paces, aided and abetted by Inspector Stig of the Yard."

"James will be introducing a brand new member of the Top Gear family, before stepping smartly aside so they can make their mark on the show with an incredible feat of daring-do."

"If that wasn't enough, Jeremy will be tearing up the track in the freakishly quick Ferrari F430 Scuderia."

"Plus, there's a break from the norm as the Reasonably Priced Car welcomes a pair of stars in the contrasting shapes of the Friday Night Project's Alan Carr and Justin Lee Collins."

(Sunday 22 June, 8pm UK on BBC Two)

"Every performance road car that comes to the Top Gear test track eventually ends up in the hands of our tame racing driver. Some say that his face appears on high-value stamps in Sweden and that he's afraid of bells. All we know is, he's called the Stig...

He doesn't do sponsorship, excuses or post race press-conferences. He exists for one reason alone: To wring every last drop of performance out of any car he drives, giving us a definitive lap time around our demanding test track."

Thanks for the info, cant wait

 

Top gear season 10 was fantastic, especially the GT3RS and GSL episode.

 

Very excited for a new season of Top Gear.

 

Woot Woot!!

 

My downloader shall be ready . . . Sunday can't come quick enough! It will be really good to see the boys back. Hard to believe it's Season 11!

 

Does anyone know if we get 5th gear on BBC America?

What no captain slow?

 

I amped for new episodes!

 

The new member isn't "part of the team" and the original three aren't going anywhere.

From finalgear....

It seems quite a few people were confused by this Sunday’s episode description and thought that James May was being replaced by a new presenter. This is not the case.

James May will merely be introducing the new character (note that I said “character” and not “presenter”). The “steps aside” phrase just means he’s getting out of the way or whatever, not stepping down.

So calm down — Top Gear is Jeremy, Richard, James and I don’t foresee that changing anytime soon.

 

wooohooo Top Gear!
