If people really cared about putting an end to pirating they'd focus on ease of use and making sure people can have access to their product. Now if I want to watch what Clarkson and the boys get up too, it'll have to be illegally.

it looks like we're finally going to get the "Great Hypercar Showdown" that was promised near the end of the hosts' run on Top Gear. Throughout their final season, the trio teased a showdown between the Ferrari LaFerrari, the McLaren P1, and the Porsche 918 Spyder.

That looks like a bit of an upgrade over the old Top Gear test track.

IIRC, they needed a neutral site to get all three cars in one place. Was brought up on the next to last episode before things got weird over a hamburger or lack thereof.

Cash grab. Not certain how GB law works but I see a settlement in the future.

If you're looking for a Top Gear Fix, James May has a 3 episode special airing on the BBC called James May's Cars of the People.

First episode is about how losing a war made Japan and Germany car superpowers.

Because apparently Chris Evans cant talk and drive at the same time. New Top Gear is going to suck hard.

He didn't seem very engaging the couple times he was on Top Gear as a guest.

Ugh, the BBC is so stupidly out of touch.

What made Top Gear awesome was that it was 3 average dudes who loved cars getting into vehicle related hijinx across Britain and then the world!

So now what they've got is a talk-show host, a race car driver and a comedian...

So now this:



Looks a lot like....

I thought they were getting that female German racing driver as well?

Hell even if they got Tiff Needle back it would be better than this! People are going to get tired of Joey real fast.

As far as I know they are. That was the 'race-car driver' I was referring to. The Stig is obvious.

Chris Evans - Talkshow Host
Matt LeBlanc - Comedian
Sabine Schmitz - Race Car Driver

Its so stupidly formulaic that you can smell the impending failure.
