2. You might not be watching the right channels. For motorsports, try Velocity Network http://www.velocity.com/ and NBCSN http://www.nbcsports.com/motor-sports for a start

3. Also, there is tons of terrific streaming content about cars across the net. Chris Harris on Cars by itself destroys Top Gear if you want to see and know more about cars, and less about the goofy exploits of the hosts. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8A...ep7VJKe1sxvHFg Also,

Lots more of great stuff to watch.
Great post. I could not agree more. Top Gear has been nothing more than Monty Python on wheels for many years. That is not necessarily a bad thing for a comedy/variety show but it is certainly not a car show.
