Top Gear USA!

I like the idea of the presenters of the Oz and UK TG doing challenges against each other. They should do a special which also includes the US team.

I gave up trying to watch that. Top Gear Australia is the best of these other Top Gear's!

Australia one was very good, did they do a full season ? Only saw the pilot(?) or maybe that was EP1

It's on it's third season now. They did a Top Gear Ashes Special a month or so ago which is well worth a watch

The ashes episode was good, but apparently the previous seasons were absolutely diabolical. Terrible presenters.

OK I have just watched that US Topgear and you are right the chemistry does not exist yet but give them time.

On the plus side the guy testing the Viper does appear to have some skills behind the wheel. Also the Red white and black Viper around the test track did look awesome

Tanner Foust? He should have some skill, having been a stunt driver in a few films (Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift, Iron Man 2, Dukes of Hazard), driven in Formula D (never heard of it myself, but he was back to back champion in 2007 and 2008). He also took part in the X Games XIII where he won gold in the rally event.

That explains it then

Just watched the second episode. It's an improvement - just.

I would say that episode 2 is a vast improvement over the first. They have a lot of issues though, but hopefully they can work them out One thing they do need to get sorted though is the music selection, as it's very poor compared to our version of TG.

Looks like BBC3 will be airing this at some point: http://simplytelevision.blogspot.com/2011/09/bbc3s...

It is so much better now Very watchable!

It's doing well enough for them to be extending season 2 as well.
