The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

Yeah it's not like he's already presenting a car show on the telly or anything.

The previous 3 presenters, were & are journalists. Which is something you study at a University level, it's a high degree of training on using words and the media to convey thoughts and ideas to an audience.

There was always a lot more to it than just 3 guys messing around in cars.

And the replacement line-up is a motorbike racer, an actor and a model . . . hmmm.

I love Guy Martin, but he can be really hard to understand sometimes. Going to need subtitles haha.

"I took this today"

It's definitely Hammond.

This. Not to mention that they're all serious gearheads who can absolutely drive their asses off. Part of their appeal is that they don't just gush about Ferraris and Veyrons - even when they're doing something like a hot hatch comparison, it seems extremely genuine when they're praising something while flogging it around the track. (Hammond in the Ford Fiesta/Focus a couple of seasons ago comes to mind.)

As someone already mentioned, chemistry is huge. Even when they're just shooting the shit doing the news it's still engaging because they're good at what they do. For comparison, watch the first 30 seconds or so ofthis awful-as-usual crap from the USA version. I have a feeling that's what we're in for with the new "team". It'll be a fun train wreck for us to shit on for the first few episodes, that's about it.

Well, the car in question is a Corvette... American muscle. Could this "new" series be based in America? Hell, maybe Netflix?

LUST LUST LUST LUST!

If he is forced to sign a non-compete, would that that non-compete only be enforceable in England only?

Asked the nearly same thing a couple months ago.

Haha! Nice little update... I cannot wait to see what the new show is going to be. Hope it is on Netflix so they can be completely uncensored

#BackOnTheRoad is a pretty good hint, Chuk.

Netflix Could Land Clarkson, Hammond May, Call New Show 'House Of Cars': Video

Last week, we speculated Jeremy Clarkson would land at Netflix-and now we have new info suggesting that's exactly what's going to happen.

The Mirror is reporting that he and co conspirators Richard Hammond and James May-along with former Top Gear producer Andy Wilman-are close to a deal with the streaming service to host their next endeavor. The name is said to be House of Cars, a play on the company's smash hit House of Cards.

Obviously, landing the trio would be a huge win for Netflix.

ALSO SEE: Has Jeremy Clarkson Gone Back To Work Already?

And while there's no indication of what would be different about the new show, since Netflix isn't bound by broadcast standard, viewers might get to hear their frequent profanity in all its glorious detail, as opposed to the bleeps which punctuated their exchanges on the BBC.

Another potential upshot for fans if the deal goes through? If Netflix follows the formula it has with its other series-and there's no reason to expect it won't-the entire season will be available at once. Who wouldn't want to spend an entire weekend binge watching the three musketeers play with the planet's most desirable vehicles?

For now, Clarkson, Hammond, and May are busying themselves preparing to host their upcoming series of live dates, creatively titled Clarkson, Hammond and May Live!

With the BBC set to begin a new era of Top Gear with a fresh cast, and the knowledge that the old crew isn't quite done yet, it's a good time to be a fan of automotive enthusiast programming. Stay tuned for more info.
