Saying someone who works in a fashion store dressing in the store's fashion is racist now. Sweet.

The English gentleman's store I used to live across the road from sold classic English hunting gear, flat caps, jackets and gloves. Dude who owned it dressed in the same poo poo. I am racist for pointing that out.

And here is the line up:

We are very proud to announce that racing driver Sabine Schmitz, YouTube star Chris Harris, F1 pundit Eddie Jordan and motoring journalist Rory Reid will join Chris Evans, Matt LeBlanc and of course, The Stig, when the show returns in May.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
I don't mind that actually, seems like they're going for a complete overhaul of the show. Whether it'll actually work is a completely different question!

It's good to see Sabine since it was looking like she wasn't going to be involved. With Sabine and Matt LeBlanc, I will give this so called "Top Gear" a chance when it goes out.

I also like that the BBC isn't trying to force 3 person chemistry. With that many presenters, I am going to bet Top Gear is going back to its roots and start giving more consumer advice on cars and looking at cars that the mortal would own...along with supercars and challenges of course.

There won't be 6 hosts, will be 2 or 3 (Evans, LeBlanc, and maybe Harris), rest will be feature 'reporters'. Eddie is obvious for doing Business stuff given his contacts, Sabine Motorsports stuff, and Rory will probably be more normal cars at a rough guess. Guess everything else / large features will be picked up by the 3 hosts. Honestly with this group I kind of expect Evans to do hardly any driving except for features as there will be better options available, while he can do what hes good at and front the program.

I assume with that many they can send a bunch off to do poo poo while a couple sit in the studio doing those pieces and interviewing people and all the other associated garbage. Send the people who can drive out to do the driving stuff kinda makes sense... With multiple film teams you could have a series done even quicker. Content is king, innit.

There will probably be a few actual hosts and the rest will just be reporters that are in videos sometimes. Probably Chris Evans, Chris Harris, Matt LeBlanc will be in the studio and do all the main things.

That was my thought as well, but the BBC's round up of them lists Eddie Jordan as 'co-Host' if so this is going to need a lot of editing. Evans and Jordan in the same room can't be good, even LeBlanc hasn't got enough chemistry to sort that out. If Harris isn't co-host I hope/assume he must be the main car tester.

In the United Kingdom, the term "Asian" is more commonly associated with people of South Asian origin, particularly Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Sri Lankans. The UK usage of the term "Asian" is reflected in the "ethnic group" section of UK census forms, which treat "Asian" and "Chinese" as separate (see British Asian)
