Watched it last night, it was a yet another TG/GT episode without the TG branding nor music. I still do not understand the hype behind the GT.

But look at the hype over things like Bake off! really,
There arent that many decent motoring shows around, so I guess this scratched a childish itch for many petrol heads. |
You say not many decent motoring shows and say the GT is one? GT is not a motoring show, it's a comedy hour that happens to be about cars. It's just like when someone here said he liked realistic first person shooters and then said Call of Duty was a good one.
There are a plenty of motoring shows, doing some actual motoring journalism. I mean car tests and reviews, road tests of cars that the ordinary folk can actually afford to buy etc. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Cheers for the link Cansa, downloading now
I wonder what the Beeb can do about intellectual property?
Either way, will be good to see them do the same thing, but with occasional offended kittens. ____________________ Top cat

This episode was, apart from the intro and some buffooning, very car oriented... clearly because they'd got the P1, 918 and LaFerrari together at last, quite a coup that they never managed on Top Gear. I get the impression that at least some of the future episodes will be less hyper-car comparison and more building or breaking weird machines, playing with toys etc. No "news" section as it's all filmed well in advance. No Star in a Reasonably Priced Car because the BBC own that. Obvs no Stig. BBC could probably drag them through the courts for any "unknown" racing driver concept.
Anyway, it had the chemistry (maybe alchemy) that their Top Gear had and LeBlanc's was woefully missing. I wonder how long it'll be before the Beeb give up on Top Gear. They didn't change it enough, was the problem. I can understand why they didn't want to throw away a winning formula, but the formula went with these three and Wilman.
Apologies for Tef post. TL;DR = "GT was everything LeBlanc's TG wasn't" |
Pretty much my thoughts as well!
Just finished watching it, looking forward to the rest.
Are they doing one from Germany, should be interesting?
Also wonder if they've done one in Japan.
I'm not into cars really, just enjoy the three of 'em dcking around, and the general, non PC, irreverence, severely lacking on most TV! ____________________ "Everybody needs money, that's why they call it money!" |

Problem being that nearly all modern cars are pretty decent, and pretty dull. How would they distinguish between them? Dashboard plastics, cupholders?
Also, where do you test them in the real world without running into real world reality?
Brother-Borg drives a succession of limited-to-Autobahn-speed lease cars, growly Jaaaags and Beetles Porches and such. Thing is, they spend most of their time crawling along the M77 in stop-start traffic. So... cupholders.
He took his Jaaag to a drag meet with his other corporate associates. They spent more time fiddling with their electronic settings than actually flooring the loud pedal in a straight line, then they all went at pretty much the same speed and stopped in pretty much the same distance without any drama or even excitement after the first couple of runs. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
