The Grand Tour

[Das Delfin]

I thought Mike Skinner was a weird choice at first, but the character he is playing grew on me fast when I realized he hates foreign cars in the same way that the guys on top gear usually talk shit about Americans. I got a kick out of his "opinions" of the M2

I just hope they call him Jennifer and bulldoze his house

They definitely didn't bulldoze his house ;D

[Brezzi]

thought it was solid - I'm stoked they're all back together. James May's continuation of the The Ferrari The Ferrari joke gets me every time.

[DEV0 E30]

The audience part looked too forced and overly scripted.

The joke about the Royal Air Force being the best, they didn't need to add so many cuts. A simple before, then after them looking beat up would have worked. Adding so many cuts seemed like filler and trying to force for laughs. That's really my only complaint, but it wasn't really something to complain about.

Rest of it was very good, I can't wait for long challenges and specials like on TG. The specials like Africa, South America, Arctic, etc were always my favs. Really looking forward to the rest of the season. The tripod is back!

No the times I referenced were on the tires The Grand Tour ran. The P1 went like 1.5 seconds faster on the Trofeo R's

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Yeah, I'm alright with Mike Skinner being the stig, he's definitely faster than any of us.



I thought the lap times were a little odd, I've never seen the P1 end up slowest in any test between those three cars. Also, Chris Harris filmed his P1/LaFerrari/918 video around the same time @ Portimao and went half a second faster in the Ferrari and Porsche, and 2 seconds faster in the P1

Remember the end where Clarkson said the p1 was a half second faster BEFORE they switched tires to a neutral compound. I bet they didn't do that in other test.

The Eboladrone looked like a workout.

And yes, the "driver"...he just seamed out of place.



But everything else was like it use to be. The visual was amazing.

Well they had mike skinner... Anyone familiar with nascar knows that mike skinner is a hard ass.... He's one of those guys where if your pissing him off. He'll punt you and your car into the grand stands for a cold beer with the fans.

I hated the new "Stig" I feel there are a lot better choices out there. Ben Collins is the obvious choice, but if it had to be an American Driver theres a lot of good names out there. I'm actually very interested in how Skinner got the job.

[Das Delfin]

I thought it was pretty good. Im not 100% sure that they are going to a totally new style or sticking to the old stuff. It seems like they were expecting people to want that and made a joke out of it

Considering the "old stuff" were originally Clarkson's ideas back when the show was reimagined in like 2001, I can see why they kept the format. They're just going to keep doing what they've been doing but better.

However, I'm glad they got rid of the star in a reasonably priced car. I always skip over that part.

[Cabriolet]

I loved every second of it. the mockery of the old show, the deaths of the celebrities and the 37mph speeding ticket, were all just amazing.

jeremy clarkson name is now jennifer
