Can't wait! Are they releasing one at a time or all at once? I've purposely avoided articles about the show in general.

It will be weekly installments, instead of all at one time.

This is probably the only important thread on the entire website, tbh. I wonder if we can get a countdown on the FP.

I posted an important thread on SD? Crud, I messed up again! Pray Please don't kick me out of the SD slackers club.



Wouldn't go as far as saying that, it won't have The Stig and there are likely some other things that they can't do or say, due to the BBC having ownership of the segments and/or phrases they used on Top Gear.

I think that will make it even better. They will come up with words/phrases as close to what they used to have, accompanied by an eye roll into the camera.

They have a longer trailer out now (the first one was a short teaser trailer) and I have to say, it looks really good. They're driving some beautiful cars in stunning locations. Drool

I read that the opening sequence cost over $3 million to film. Can't wait for the show to start.

they've got more money, the same producer, as long as the music continues to be good it shouldn't be hard for them to continue on as an entertaining trio nod

The trailer did look good, I will say that.

Ex-Top Gear host Richard Hammond injured in Swiss crash



http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-40234865



Former Top Gear host Richard Hammond has been flown to hospital after a crash while filming in Switzerland.

The 47-year-old was on a practice run for a race in an electric car for Amazon Prime show The Grand Tour.

Mr Hammond "climbed out of the car himself before the vehicle burst into flames", the show said in a statement.

Co-host Jeremy Clarkson tweeted that it was the "most frightening" accident he had ever seen but said Mr Hammond, who fractured a knee, was "mostly OK".

The show's statement said Mr Hammond had been involved in a "serious crash" after completing the Hemberg Hill Climb in Switzerland, where a race takes place on Sunday.

He had been driving a "Rimac Concept One, an electric super car built in Croatia, during filming for The Grand Tour Season 2 on Amazon Prime, but very fortunately suffered no serious injury".

Mr Hammond was "conscious and talking" after the crash, the show said, and had been flown to hospital in St Gallen "to be checked over".

A fractured knee is pretty serious for someone who's pushing 50. With his previous really horrific crash that caused a pretty serious brain injury that's probably why they flew him to hospital, didn't want to take any chances.
