The Stig was out at Silverstone last weekend giving a ride in a two-seater F1 car to a man who had won a charity auction when Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso commented “whoever’s in that car is a seriously good driver.” He continued, “I’ve no idea who he is, but he’s definitely ex-F1.”
TopGear.com has put up 3 videos of outtakes and other content that didn’t make it into last Sunday’s episode. They’re short, but well worth watching. They give a glimpse into what goes on while filming an episode.
TopGear.com has put up the uncut version of last Sunday’s news segment featuring content that didn’t make it into the airing. It’s around 5 minutes long and can be viewed right here.
Okay, lots of bad news about the new season of Top Gear.
The worst news (probably, could be back earlier I guess) is that Top Gear will not be back on June 15th:
It turns out that the start date for the new TV series has changed from June 15th.
Or, if we’re being honest, maybe never was then at all.
Basically we heard a rumour and jumped the gun a bit in all the excitement.
Sorry.
The worst news is that the schedulers haven’t confirmed the new date either, so we can’t even tell you when it will be.
Basically, your guess is as good as ours’, but we’ll let you know as soon as we do.
Other bad but unconfirmed news is that there will be only 6 episodes this season (spoiler link!). This could or could not be true, we don’t know.
Lastly in the speculation department, it doesn’t look like they’ll have the switch to high definition (HD) ready for this upcoming season. At least this is the conclusion some are coming to after reading a post on a BBC blog.
Still though, can we really complain? Even limited, non-HD amounts of Top Gear is way better than anything else on TV.
Just can’t get enough of the latest news from TopGear.com and it’s automotive goodness? Well they now have a widget that you can embed directly into Windows Vista, Yahoo! Widgets, your website, MySpace, Facebook, iGoogle, and tons more.
Top Gear has revamped their newsletter and made it a lot easier to subscribe. In it you’ll find behind the scenes photos, articles on new cars, links to classic Top Gear TV segments, plus lots more.
Many thanks to everyone who's ripped the episodes on this site as well as Quiky and PacketCollision for being awesome sysops.
