CarMad Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Nope, reviews seem to be its good with the new racing driver concept being the poor bit apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Yes, I have. It is quite entertaining. I don't like Mike Skinner as the test track driver and Celebrity Brain Crash was a completely pointless and long waste of time. I do hope they drop the latter quickly. The main feature, the hypercar test, was good and enjoyable. Some laugh out loud moments, well a handful anyway. It isn't a great deal different to what Top Gear was when they did it. In fact it is 99% the same as you might expect but for a few copyright things. If I was scoring it, I'd say 7/10 and yes I'd watch it again.

Soulboy Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Went in open minded - having not really liked TG for a few years. Loved it! M2 review was icing on cake. It's been well received by TV critics too. Even The Guardian!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Must admit that I thought the M2 review was weak. What did he say other than "This is the best M car they've ever made?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Did he say something about being a short test and they'd be a better review later in the series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarMad Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 They said it wasn't a full review of the car they didn't have the time. Just finished watching it and it was good, great to see them back together and another addition to the list of motoring programmes. I think they faked the P1 coming last personally as he has had his house blown up to re-built it planning etc. so I expect that to be part of it. The Chris Harris video of the same cars same circuit they got faster times and the P1 was 'fractionally' quicker with standard tyres, plenty quicker with the optional sticky rubber. Looking forward to some proper tour action as they were the best when it was Top Gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 I always felt Clarkson's TG was successful as it was an entertainment show with some cars in it. GT was seem to be a car program with entertainment in it. Right up my street but I wonder if it will be anything like as big as TG due to the limited accessibility and the fact it's now about cars.

NewNiceMrMe Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Episode 2 - appalling. Complete and utter drivel. One of the most cringeworthy episodes of anything that I have watched this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
