I'll torrent it today.

By the way, with the amazon streaming. When you buy an episode are you able to download it or is it just a stream?

Believe you can only stream it. I could be wrong though.

I watched it last night. Really enjoyed it. I'm glad to see the 3 of them back again. I'm not the biggest fan of the new track layout though, honestly.

That aside, I enjoyed the show as a whole. First season is 12 episodes too, so I'll happily tune in every week for the next 3 months to watch it lol.

Fun, although I think I liked Harris's hyper car video better, and I hope Mike Skinner sticks around and gets better lines, man can drive but those lines were shit.

Dun look like he can pull a greasy string out of a dog's ass either.

Tbh totally thought they got Jeff Gordon when they said Nascar driver, shows what I know about Nascar, I know like make 4 drivers. lol. Great Show really happy they are back.

Gordon probably would have been good, I think the funniest would have been Juan Pablo Montoya 'yes we followed your rules, but he's an ex f1 driver, and an immigrant', Helio and Franchitti fits that bill too. There's probably a hundred guys in the NASCAR/Indy circuit that could put down the laptimes, the trick is finding someone available, has some amount of recognition, and is charismatic.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gordon or another big name was in the works but they turned it down based on the script and/or shooting schedule.

Yeah the whole "Americans are all dumb rednecks durr hurr" shtick has gotten really old. It's not that I'm particularly patriotic or defensive, it just feels like watching some lame rerun of the same tired jokes from Clarkson's Motorworld in like 1995.

I think the gag can still be done well, they just didn't.

Hmm, would have been fun if he ran the course in a NASCAR truck so he could say about 99% of the cars he drives are slower than his pickup. Would have been a nice Toyota ad worth a few bucks.

One of the things I think we miss is how cheesy Top Gear always was. We don't see through the accent how staged the production is, it's gotten more obvious and I think most people have realized it, but not many admit it.

I'm pretty sure you mean Chris Evans. Nobody had/has an issue with Chris Harris.
