Looks like a good line up to me.

What do you think?

I know one of the Chris's..

Oh well time will tell....content and presentation will determine audience.

 

Most people couldn't do the Nordschleife in under 11 minutes in a high performance car let alone a Transit so big respect, however the jokes and banter may be lost but I hope to be proved wrong.

Cant wait!

I guess it depends on what you want from the show. If your a fan of 5th gear and more serious shows then this may suit you. I don't think it will have the same childish stupid entertainment that a large proportion of the audience loved. It was an entertainment show for those that weren't into cars as well as those that were. That's why it was so popular.

I hope it retains the lighter side or I'll just have to continue watching all the old re-runs and laughing at a citreon being pushed off a cliff.

 

In the late 1990's Sabine used to own / run a bar near the nurburgring - and I have had many a happy evening in there while on holiday in the area, the place had a great atmosphere and was just full of 'normal' people having a good drink after a day blowing money on laps of the ring. She ( considering how well known / successful she was ) came across as a really down to earth person with a great sense of humour...she served the beer and socialised with the punters all night long who where all just average joe-blogs types like me....I can honestly say I'm not sure how many other people with her level of success would be happy to talk **** / joke / serve beer into the early hours of the morning night after night.......and then thrash an m5 ( the ring-taxi ) round the 'ring as a day job.

 

She can drive and so Harris, its a shame Evans cant!

Not sure the this trio will last.......

Mature content = BORING!!!

 

That is rather cool

She has always come across like that, very good, a little arrogant (perfectly acceptable) when it comes to driving and down-to-earth.

Her family still runs a B&B there I think, Im sure stayed there in 2014.

 

Good job we've got Amazon Prime - I can continue to indulge childishness watching the old three's new show!

 

It's a shame Chris Harris is in the line-up.

 

me too

 

I thought Sabine was tied up doing german top gear ??

 

I think we can all agree ^ is boring

Goes back to the old saying, one man's food is another's poison.

 

All I was saying Rob, is that top gear wont be top gear without all the childish and funny stuff. If they fill it with mature content then they will lose half there audience and it will be just like 5th gear. Its popularity is due to its entertainment content and not the motoring side.

 

Why do you say that?

 

Thanks for that Dale - really enjoyed that clip. Interesting comparisons and the guy looks like he can drive a bit.
