The Grand Tour: Clarkson et al are back! (18 Nov)

Post

Judging by this trailer, fans of (the old!) Top Gear won't be disappointed.



There are more behind-the-scenes videos on their YouTube channel.

So looking forward to this!

Is there a possibility to view without the annual sub?

you can probably pay a premium per episode if you want.

Would you be able to wait until all 12 episodes have aired and getting a Prime free trial?

The show was great, seems poignant that on the very first episode they were able to compare lap times of the Laferrari, Porsche 918 and Mclaren P1. something they tried on Top Gear but were unable to do.

I could easily see them getting tired of never getting any positive feedback from your employer.

The first episode mainly introduces the viewer to the new show. The Holy Trinity test was nice but nothing new or exciting in my opinion, it has been done before. Some of the jokes felt a bit forced and rude, rather than funny, but a decent start i'd say to the new show.

Decent start indeed of the show, we will need time to get used to the new format but overall I'm happy the boys are back =D>

For me it's innovative. It has the best ingredients of what Top Gear had to offer wrapped with a changing setting/studio. It's a mobile studio. We've heard how big the demand is of being live at the Top Gear studio when the three presented it back then. Now globally everyone has a chance to attend the tv show that is broadcasted world wide, because some day, they'll theoretically attend your back yard and that's why it's so brilliant.

I liked the show!

It's basicaly still top gear. What I didn't like is that the scenes on the tent seemed a little bit too scripted, they will probably relax a bit with time.

I loved it. Sure it's basically how top gear was when the 3 of them were still there, but it's awsome =D>

I also like their new test track. The names for the different parts are just brilliant :lol:

Well, I think the new format is just great. Overall it is a big improvement: The new tent is better on acustics, the new computer lap time board is readable, the boring SIARPC is dropped...
I do not like the fat driver...he is not entertaining and they are testing cars which have carbon fibre mirrors for pace improvement and have a driver who loses 10kg on an intercontinental flight???

This is a point which is a bit of a problem since 3 or 4 years now. If they need so much time for scripted people falling from the sky, they lack a bit of situational comedy which comes with the usual car tests or comparisons. But I hope for the next episodes to see more road trips and less snake bites.
