Top Gear - new series (spoiler alert)

[team_v]

I just watched the show over lunch and I've forgotten what the F10 is.

Was it that forgettable?

Turns out they scrapped that part, it will probably be in next week's episode.

I enjoyed it. Rallycross looks tons of fun, and the 250 GTO is a masterpiece.

I agree, one of their better episodes.
Makes me interested in the excel racing series they have up here.

Geez surprise surprise Raikkonen sounded like he just got out of bed.

Vettel was way more entertaining when he was on in the last season!

Overall, disappointed with this series, not as entertaining as the last.

I reckon they only have a couple more seasons before they pull the plug on it unfortunately.
They are starting to recycle things from earlier seasons and with budget cuts and content starting to lack they can't really do much better.

Episode 3 is up now.

James reviews sensible cars (i actually agree with him on the fact that the driving experience is the most enjoyable when close to the limit and that happens a lot easier in sensible cars)

Hammond and Clarkson attempt to choreograph a car chase for the upcoming sweeneey film (scripted and fairly dull as per usual "car chase filming skits")

SIARPC is Ryan Renalds - pretty funny but not a car nut.

most disappointing episode EVER

most disappointing episode EVER

More proof that they've jumped the shark.

They should give it a rest for a year and see if they can come up with something fresh, its getting old and tired. They've gone from that girl who was funny and adorable when you first met to one that is really starting to get annoying doing exactly the same things.

There were a few great seasons in the last ten years, Top Gear have taken car shows out of the dark ages. I think it's unfair to write it off now. Although, I'm starting to wonder when and how the change over to new cast members is going to happen, as much as I like the current crew... it's going to happen eventually as the current crew get older and wealthier they move away from their fan-base.

Some episodes haven't been up to par with some of their best stuff, but regardless it's still a car show. Axe it and I've got no other car show to watch.

they just need to go back to basics i.e. testing cars!

i enjoy the races and challenges but the stuff like that car chase scene is silly and boring

This must be the mismatch of the century

^ tell me about it. Top Gear Australia was a joke. Glad they gave up on it as it was embarrassing.

On another note, a guy at work just forked out $70k on a FPV GT.....what a waste of money. It will be worth $20k in a few years and falling to pieces.

They do have a supercharged 5.0L V8, I wouldn't be too harsh. Our Fords have been more reliable than the euros too.
