Top Gear v Old Top Gear -which is the winner?

Top Gear

The world’s biggest motoring show is back, featuring an all-new presenter line-up with Clarkson May & Hammond now replaced by Chris Evans, Matt LeBlanc joined by German racer Sabine Schmitz, YouTube star Chris Harris, BBC F1 pundit Eddie Jordan.

The new six-part series sees Top Gear’s new presenting team undertake a series of on- and off-road challenges: chauffeuring superstar musicians to the top of Africa in 4x4s, journeying across Britain in roofless three-wheelers, hitting the Rolls-Royce campaign trail in western Ireland, and battling off-road baddies in a car made of scaffolding.

You’ll also find tests of the very latest cars, from Ferrari’s fearsome F12 TdF to the McLaren 675LT, from BMW’s pugnacious M2 to the screaming Aston Martin Vulcan.

Plus, of course, the biggest celebrities tackling the all-new test track every week, and the return of Top Gear’s enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in a race suit: The Stig.
