Im going to try to watch again.... I will not suffer as long as last season (~5 episodes). If the 1st, maybe the second doesnt work for me, Im done. One exception would be, to watch the GT episode, assuming the clarkson guy has gotten over the 05 car. Note, he already said in season one, when talking about the NGT, said race cars dont work on the road...........

On another forum, I would take that downhill and run with it, especially with Clarkson

^^^ that link is all you need from the hour and 10 minute show.

Im all done with this show. I "watched" episode 1 last night, I think it took 40 minutes (extensive use of the FF button), when it was really bad. Taking super cars into the ancient streets of Lucerne Switzerland, and making "drama" that the Aventador didnt fit? Or smashing the splitter into the ground when a road was "closed"?

Then on to episode 2... The GT kept my interest but only barely. I used even MORE FF. Episode 2 took ~20 min.

The scenery on a big high quality TV is breathtaking. Well done by the production team. Too bad the rest is just not entertaining to me.

Sorry to those that enjoy this show.

Clarkson is a twat, assuming I can use that word on the forum.

I guess the target audience is the average bloke with his bangers and mash and a pint on a tv tray in front of the telly.

Do any car enthusiasts want to see an Aventador get banged up on cobbled pedestrian zones and unpaved roads?

4K TV and Clarkson's lack of dental care do not mix well.

If you weren’t so short and average looking, I would swear we were from the same parents.

.... Clarkson's lack of dental care....

Ah, that's called managed neglect aka socialized health care.

Ok...episode 3 provided a few laughs.

But, the reality of 4K TV...Clarkson's dandruff revealed on his black blazer. Why am I not surprised.

I thought high doses of nicotine cured dandruff?

As much as I like to consume every piece of information about the new GT watching this was somehow traumatizing and did not provide any news at all. Guess there is a reason that I haven‘t spent time watching a show with those guys for a long time.
