Yeah, this section! I felt this was important enough to bring this section back from the dead. No, its not to say that the new season of Top Gear will be coming out 2 months early. But hey, at least its something, right?


Anyway, mark your calenders and setup your DVR for Nov 28th. Top Gear: Top 40 season premiere is a spinoff of our favorite show, and Nov 28th will play host to back-to-back episodes starting at 8pm on BBC America.

Please note: This is your one and only warning to set your DVR. You have until Monday, November 28, at 8:00 pm. That's when BBC America will air the world premiere of the newest Top Gear spin-off: Top Gear Top 40.

Now we might normally be a bit critical of a television series that advertises itself as a greatest hits pastiche. In some ways, it kind of reminds us of those terrible sitcom episodes they used to slap together all the time back in the '80s, with characters "remembering" bits from old episodes. But this is different. This is Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond doing what they do best. This is Top Gear.

How can you not get excited about re-watching clips like "Ferrari Daytona vs. Powerboat" and "Commie Cars" from Season 12? Or "Top Gear vs. Germans" from Season 11? Or "Veyron vs. Eurofighter" from Season 10?

Trust us, we've peeked at the 40 segments the show plans to feature, and nobody should be disappointed. In fact, the list of 40 clips comes from voting suggestions made by the general public, so there's even less reason to fear. Read the entire press release after the jump.



As for the regular Top Gear, just 2 more months.

I recorded the first two episodes but haven't watched them yet. Anyone catch any of it yet? Is it any good?

Its pretty good, its just a random list of moments on Top Gear. All 40 are not in one or two episodes, this will be going for a while.


The only thing I dont like is the host. He's not funny, and he never stops moving. He looks like he has Parkinson's or something. "Just sit still!!!" lol. Its just nice that he's not on camera very long, lol.

I am so far behind on watching all the seasons, its horrible.

I can tell you though, I laughed my ass off until I had tears when watching Season 9, Episode 6...the Limo contest.
