I dont know if its for their new Amazon show , but Jeremy Clarkson tweeted a couple of days ago that he was flying from Udaipur to Marrakesh. There sure are no direct flights, so it must be a chartered one courtesy Amazon for the cast and crew. Besides, no commercial flights allow smoking on board, of which he had tweeted a picture.
Possibly there is another India segment on the new show.

Well, it no secret that they consider the india special to be their worst ever. I am sure they will do another as per what they want again.
Cant wait for the guys to be back.

First trailer is out, doesn't look that promising.

Going by the preview, it looks exactly like the old format with different casts.

Let's see how it does. Check out the preview below.

Matt LeBlanc tackles the Ariel Nomad! - Top Gear

This looks so much like the old Ken block episode with James May.

Subconsciously they are emulating performance / actions of the old crew , they should have ideally started from a scratch in a totally different format in my opinion.

Top Gear's Chris Evans Was So Mad He Made A Producer Cry: Report-
"The sources went on, saying:
Chris’s ego is out of control and he’s behaving far worse than Clarkson ever did.."

Lol. You beat me to it. Had attached the same smug face.

God I hate posting from mobile!

Maybe we'll get to see this face (and more) on the first episode itself.

How can it be TopGear without Jeremy, James and Richard. No way!

bigron · 5th May 2016, 09:51

The new Top Gear needs to be looked at as a brand new show.Comparing it to the old one will only lead to disappointments as the entire cast is new.
As far as the original 3 blokes are concerned they will come out with something witty and ridiculous.Just the way we liked the original Top Gear.

I can tell you from the start that Chris evans needs to go ASAP. He isnt anywhere near Jezza's level. One can easily see this if you read both of their newspaper coloumn. Chris evans review cars so boringly whereas Jeremy in comparison is a poet when it comes to car reviews.

Second, the stig needs to go. With Sabine schmitz in the line up, you dont need a stig. Sabine can take the position of Randy pobst in motortrend.

As for others, well apart from eddy jordan, I am sure the others can deliver. I dont know what eddy is even there for though.
