New Top Gear 2017
Not sure if this has been posted already.
I saw the trailer for the new TG recently, whilst it looks entertaining, I was rather hoping the format would change a bit more. It looks like they are still doing the challenges that were in the previous series and also on The Grand Tour. http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/lat...p-gear-trailer Hopefully there will be better reviews of cars and more chemistry between the presenters. Just have to wait and see.

They will have a hard act to follow, just watched the last episode of Grand Tour, the bugs have been ironed out of the new program.
Clarkson, May and Hammond are beginning to get into their stride. Me wants the 2000hp Nissan Patrol!!!!

 I agree. The last episode was the best so far I think. Looking forward to the new series already.

Nissan Skyline R33 GTR drivetrain with RB26 engine tuned to 2000hp
Apparently quite an easy build on to a short wheel base Y61 Patrol. I've had both a Y60 and Y61 patrol over the years - absolute bucket loads of room in the engine bay to fit. Probably why the Porsche slaying Patrol looked so stock (apart from the wide rims with slick tyres)

I am actually looking forward to this year's Top Gear without the Gingerbread man.
When it comes to GT, I have a mixed feelings after seeing the entire season. Quite few good episodes, but some were just a waste of time.
