GPS navigation company TomTom has launched a Top Gear themed navigator complete with Jeremy Clarkson narrating your directions and notable Top Gear landmarks such as race tracks.

UPDATE: The BBC has backed out of the deal for editorial and conflict of interest reasons.

Clarkson’s latest DVD, titled “Powered UP, will be out on November 7th. You can pre-order it off Amazon.co.uk now if you’re on that side of the pond. No word when (or if) it will be available over here in America.

Starting October 14th, the American version of Top Gear will begin airing (Fridays at 7PM). It should be interesting to see what they think of our version of the show. Hopefully they keep an open mind.

BBC America will begin airing season 4 of Top Gear tonight, beginning at 8/7c. Season 4 was a great season and worth watching even if you’ve seen it before, so tune in!

It looks like MOMENTUM caught the re-airing of the episode and put out a rip. Awesome.

Tiff tweeted this earlier today:

New series of Fifth Gear starts October 14th …

First off, incase you didn’t realize: no Top Gear America aired last Sunday (the 11th) due to 9/11 stuff airing instead. An episode aired tonight/last night (the last of the season) but no rip has been put out by the usual sources yet. When they do, we’ll of course share it with you all.

UPDATE: You can now stream it online at History.com. Americans only probably though.

It seems that rather just taking a break, Top Gear Australia is being completely cancelled due to low ratings. The news was confirmed by Steve Pizzati via his Twitter account:

It’s true- as of next week, TGA will be on at the special time of not at all. Sorry to the open-minded people that gave it a go AND enjoyed!

To all the supporters (esp the ones that came to studio), to all the manufacturers that gave us cars and to all in production- THANKYOU!

We’re told the last three episodes will make an appearance in the summer. Or try Blockbuster Video in the BetaMax section.

Today’s episode of Top Gear Australia will be the last one for a while.

This Tuesday’s episode of Top Gear Australia will be the last one for a while. TV Tonight says the remaining 3 episodes may air later this year though. Rumor is it’s being put on hiatus due to low ratings.
