Program synopsis for the first one:

"Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are in Russia for an incredible race across the vast and beautiful urban landscape of St Petersburg. With their chosen methods of transportation - a tiny Renault, a bicycle and a hovercraft - they race each other and The Stig, who is silently making his way towards the finish line on public transport, across town. Hammond also heads to the test track to find out if the dramatic new Lamborghini Huracan is as flamboyant and fun as an Italian supercar should be. Plus, another top celebrity guest tests their steely eyed driving skills as the star in the Reasonably Priced Car."
I'm pretty sure that exact episode has been on before, albeit different city and slightly different Lamborghini...

Bump to make more people aware of this, I'm not sure what they plan with this... I'll be tuning in anyway.

FYI, the red button can be found directly by turning to freeview channel 601.

The tv guide says that this is episode 0/10, seems like the series is going to be 10 episodes long then(?)

The tv guide synopsis says "in front of a online global audience" so it must be. I'm not sure where though, sorry.

Meh.. Funny to see the presenters having a chat in a different environment, but the thing seemed a bit thrown together. Average.

I can also confirm that christian o'connell is an insufferable boob. He kind of ruins it.

Gross.
Noticed he looks ill & knackered when made up for TV, just seen him signing autograph coming through airport he looks extremely ill, I know he chain smokes but what else does he do to himself.
