It reeks of Top Gear, worse than ever! I thought at one point it still was old Top Gear.

So that's a good thing right? Top Gear was better than Grand Tour S1 wasn't it?

It's just old Top Gear now, all the same stuff we were bored off at the end of Top Gear. Bring on real Top Gear season 24

Enjoyed it. Still not big on the celeb laps, but the rest was good.

I like the rally cross angle but it's a bit of a gokart track. I got the impression they've had a big budget cut and Clarkson had that quickly made on his property. Maybe they just can't get the other airport enough to do celebs as well as the hotlaps.

You would think that surely The Hamster is uninsurable by now?

It was OK actually. It all seemed a bit tighter than the last series and it looks like they've taken the criticism on-board.

Sa Calobra. That's 5/5 right there.

The skateboarders did it in 5:16. Strava KOM is 10:39 with an average speed of 54.6 :faint:

I'm watching this second season, just caught up to ep9, and I'm enjoying it. A lot. It's pretty darn good in fact. Even my wife enjoys most of it (not the car parts so much).

The cringy bits are gone, the celebrities are good, and they do funny shit. Thumbs up from me.

Well, not *all* are good, but most are... the drummers & the magicans, the last two, were pretty good in my opinion.

That looks OK but I've cancelled Amazon Prime so will be skipping this, at least for now.

Therefore, I hope it's shit :D

Looks like they've signed with Amazon to do 2 more seasons after S3.

They're also ditching the 'studio' part and just doing big road trips.

Thanks for the heads-up gents, I've really enjoyed this one.

They have really listened to people it seems, and focused on the bits that people want to watch.

The McLaren Senna is fucking nuts, there's no other way to put it.

Quality episode, no celeb bullshit :yes:

Senna seems like more of a track car than a supercar. To me it also looks like a home made body kit. Especially around the rear wheels.

Well, it's hard to define what's supercar; but it's quicker than anything, closed & road legal. Looks are different, but a few of these upper end monsters lately seem to change looks similarly.
And it's not like the countach looked/looks like a sane car, huh? :)
I'm just wondering, who are the lucky 500 who got one, how were they selected, and fuck them anyway. :hide:
