He's only 58! Seems to be a somewhat rough 58 though, IMHO.

I think LeBlanc was the new guy who most fully understood what made people want to watch Clarkson-era Top Gear in the first place. His main problem was that the writers sometimes seemed to slip into writing his stuff as if he wasn't in fact an American.

Not sure where they even go from here that makes anybody give a poo poo?

If not for anything else, it will probably become one of those publicly funded system zombie shows, where it just keeps on going forever on a shoestring budget because the IPR and public recognition of the brand is worth more than just canning it and selling forwards. Especially as long as the Grand Tour is made, because Amazon Prime buying and handing it back to Clarkson team would be the ultimate humiliation for the BBC.

Because they once were able to reinvent the show with then-new talent of Clarkson-era guys and made it a big cash cow, they just sit on the franchise and try out new talent until something stick to the wall.

EDIT: Also because the brand is huge, and the show itself is relatively cheap to produce, if they want to penny pinch until something promising surfaces. The high-end cars are loaners, no costumes or real sets are needed besides one studio, and the show itself is basically a talk show with funny bits taking the majority of air time. And you can always buy clunkers at laughably low production costs and do stupid(ly funny) poo poo with those. It really only needs the right mindset to write, and the right chemistry for the hosts, to succeed.

It's a shame that it looks from the footage to be a straight racing game. I'd love a game where you have to go on some long journey in lovely vehicles that break down, and multiplayer with friends would be interesting. I didn't think the world was clamoring for another mediocre racer.

I'm expecting nothing more than standard mobile game structure and servicable graphics in a generic racer, just overlaid with voiceovers that may not even be specially recorded.

What it should be is a mix of Burnout, Cruis'n World and Mad Max, where you unlock supercars as well as questionable "vehicle parts" and classic vehicles like Clarkson's Fiat Panda stretch limo or Oliver. You unlock the shittiest vehicles by crashing and having to finish a race in them as the backup car. The caption for when you crash is "Oh cock." But whoops every single thing that would make this game great is from Top Gear

I would also settle for just an open world game where you have to get all over the place in a Robin without tipping over. Or with tipping over in the most highest-scoring ways possible.

You mean Chris Harris, someone who is a literal ? and one of the biggest cunts to play cricket, which is a big statement - given cricket is a game where 11 cheating cunts play 11 obnoxious cunts, all the while trying to con the umpire who is a deaf and blind oval office

Chris Harris having the resoruces of the BBC behind him is in all honesty the best thing to happen with Top Gear in... well.... ever? You want to review cars? He's the best at it. Want big lurid powerslides? He's drat good at it. Driving an exotic on country roads? He's right up there.

It's even worse, he's been kept on but only for Extra Gear.

The new season of /DRIVE on NBC Sports which also has Chris Harris premiered last week but nobody has NBC Sports so nobody will watch it until it's available on YouTube to rent maybe.
NBC Sports also premiered some new car show called Proving Grounds which actually sounds interesting since two of the hosts are actual race drivers but again nobody will watch it.
