About this show

It began life in 1977 as a conventional motoring magazine show. Relaunched in 2002 in a longer format, it pulled in an international audience of around 150 million viewers around the world. Irreverent, witty and unbiasedly honest, the Top Gear team and The Stig take cars to the limit and beyond to find out if they're any good or not. If you want to know how big the boot is, look elsewhere. Full of stunts, challenges and special features, Top Gear is self-deprecating, inclusive and passionate, giving authoritative information, entertainment and no little style.

The firts episode of the new season sucks! The kind of cheerful environment they built, the new presenter (Chris), no more Clarkson jokes, no Hammond and no Captain Slow, makes the show boring. Do you really think we were watching To Gear to find out about cars? It was an epic, funny show that you want to watch after a week of hard work. Now it sucks!

The new Top Gear only has one good thing going for it that's Matt LeBlanc BBC should have given up after letting Jeremy Clarkson go. Chris Evans was totally useless in my opinion and by the looks of it online support from fans I'm not the only one it's pretty bad when even the Brits like an American better than their own Brit. With Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond gone the show will never be ever the same. So everybody let's show BBC that they screwed up and start supporting The Grand Tour.
