"Joey" new head of Top Gear

If you’ve been a big fan of the comedy series Friends and the car show Top Gear, the following will really impress you. A friend of Joey Tribbiani, or Matt LeBlanc, who he plays and whom we have often seen in Formula One races in previous seasons, has joined the new cast of the once popular show Top Gear. The American, otherwise a big fan of racing, will join Chris Evans in a new era of motoring on British television BBC. As a guest of the show, LeBlanc set the best time of the course among all the stars, so the management of the show is probably written on his skin. "I am honored to be able to participate in the new chapter of this show as a big Top Gear fan and crazy about cars," said LeBlanc, who was also hospitably received by co-host Evans:

Official: End of filming Top Gear!

Automotive

Jeremy Clarkson, one of the three hosts of the popular British car show, has officially announced the end of Top Gear in his column for The Sun. Clarkson has been embroiled in controversial situations on several occasions over the years, most recently when he allegedly reprimanded an Irish producer in a drunken state and then hit him hard in the head, so that he was bleeding and dizzy and had to go to the emergency room. BBC television temporarily suspended and stopped the broadcast of Top Gear. Although often offensive but still very popular, Jezza, as Clarkson is called by his friends, told his supporters, who collected over 880.000 signatures in the #BringBackClarkson online petition, that their efforts were in vain. "You can collect countless signatures, gain the support of politicians from all pages

In the second episode of this year’s season of the automotive show Top Gear, the three hosts of the show ventured into the Australian desert. But they chose cars worth around half a million euros for the trip. James May drove a Nissan GT-R, Jeremy Clarckson a BMW M6, and Richard Hammond a Bentley Continental V8. Anyone who has seen not only the last, but any trip of the trio, has probably repeatedly wondered what the car looks like at the end of the route. Well, photos of the aforementioned Bentley are posted online. These only briefly show all the damage to the car, which had to be repainted at the end of the chassis repair. It has lost more than half of its value, and sources state that red Australian dust got inside the engine, seriously damaging it. Bentley air filters are not

Paranoid Argentines stoned the Top Gear team

Automotive

The three hosts of the popular British car show Top Gear had to flee Argentina after the locals, due to provocative license plates on the cars they were driving, started throwing stones at them and insulting them. The BBC confirmed that the show's hosts and crew had left Argentina, but denied speculation that the license plates, which hinted at a British-Argentine war for the Falkland Islands, were a deliberate provocation. Passions are said to be aroused by the license plate H982 FKL, on a Porsche driven by Jeremy Clarkson. This is supposed to hint at the 1982 conflict in which Britain defeated Argentina. "The BBC leadership asked host Jeremy Clarkson to behave nicely in Argentina, but he decided on his own

Top Gear for at least another three years

Automotive

Recent alleged racist statements by Jeremy Clarkson, one of the three faces of the popular automotive show Top Gear, have fallen on deaf ears despite the efforts of the yellow media. Clarkson has signed a new three-year contract with the British house BBC for 15 million euros over the next three years. Top Gear has been by far the most watched show in the UK for several years now, as well as in many parts of the world. Last season, the show was watched by more than 5 million viewers on the Island alone, and another 350 million elsewhere in the world in 170 countries. To continue with Top Gear or not is not such a difficult question, as the show brings the BBC a profit of around 185 million euros. However, Richard Hammond and James May are still waiting for the contracts to be extended, which is only a matter of time.
