I expect most know, but just in case you missed it.

Top gear is back on BBC2 at 8pm tonight.

Fingers crossed for a cracking season.

I like the Rory, Matt and Chris format. Took a couple of series to gel but I think they work together really well. The grand tour on the other hand is too much cringy scripted stuff that has nothing to do with cars in any way. Photographing animals in Columbia. At least half the programme was taking pictures. Just got on with it.! At least top gear has lost a lot of that and gets on with actually driving while being entertaining.
The only problem is that this series is only 5 episodes I think...

Any idea where the roads were around the hill? Tried to Google what it sounded like (gerlick?), But couldn't find anything.

Enjoyed this epialot,as said,it's actually got cars in it alot,which is good.
Better than Grand tour, which has lost the plot for me....still moderately entertaining,but only just and could do with some decent car content ....The Grand tour needs more of what Top Gear has these days.
Decent stuff with the Ferrari,Porsche and Suzuki/Fiat stuff.
Shame Matt le Blancs left and next season at the end of the year will be Flintoff and co. Not holding out much hope,lol.
Le Blanc has got better and better,and bounces off well with Harris, while Rory gets the more regular cars.
