It’s seven heaven as the new Top Gear lineup has been announced. Chris Evans and the team have broken the mould from the traditional threesome and have employed a diverse and extensive mega-team to replace the outgoing cast.
Here’s the full lineup, from left to right:
Rory Reid. Rory is a motoring journalist and was selected as a Top Gear host through Chris Evan’s open online auditions for a member of the public to join the show. Rory also has a Youtube motoring channel.
Sabine Schmitz – is a German professional motor racing driver for BMW and Porsche, also known for driving the BMW “Ring taxi” around the Nürburgring race track. Sabine is already a television personality and co-hosted German motor show D-Motor.
Matt LeBlanc’s – the much loved Friend’s actor’s appointment marks the first time the show has ever had a non-British host in its 39-year history. Will he bring the same charm and lovability to the show?
Chris Evans – motor mouthpiece and brainchild of the new concept. A lot rests on his shoulders, but his enthusiasm and love for cars should shine through.
Chris Harris – Former Autocar journalist and YouTube star who hosts his own, free (for now), Youtube channel. Chris has almost 350,000 Youtube subscribers. Watch that figure rocket!
Eddie Jordan – his bonkers wardrobe, huge connections in the world of motor sport, and quirky personality.
Last but not least… The Stig!
