There is at least one more series in the pipeline, which is due to start on October 8 and run until Christmas.

Fingers crossed they'll test all the new important cars of the year. (997 Turbo, LP640, 599, 997 GT3, etc....... and not to forget, Veyron around track)

^^ ditto

remember the pics of the LP640 and the gallardo roadster taken on a british carrier ...... i hope thats the top gear feature 0X

They're only running until christmas...?

[vexor]

should be 11 episodes, sounds normal to me.

[nickthaskater]

Just sounds so short haha

[tuffguy]

I hope that they'll be around long enough to test the Evo X and BMW 335ci, two cars that I'll be in the market for next year.

Great news! :drool:

What's the deal with the rumor going around that Top Gear might not be around much longer? Does the BBC not want the show on the air or something?

[vexor]

no, it's the people living around the test track that don't want Top gear around. From what I know, after this series finishes airing the next series is still up in the air, so they might or might not make a series 10.

So Clarkson owns a DB9 huh?

If they really don´t produce a 10th series it would be an EPIC loss for JW and all car lovers :cry: Without a doubt it is the best car programme in the world and has an amazing amount of viewers worldwide. The BBC simply has to find a way to continue producing it, maby by simply buying another test track somewhere else where nobody can complain about it...

7 weeks, 6 days, 21 hours, and 53 minutes until the next season of Top Gear starts on October 8th :mrgreen:

Last series geez that sucks! Hang on a minute, the top gear track is an airfield it has massive jumbojets so why would people complain about cars that make a small percentage of the sounds 747's make. Well the best reason I could think of is JC retiring, he does have a broken hip afterall and maybe the BBC realise the show is pretty much shit without him. Imagine richard testing all the supercars.

The new presenter would have to be a good driver, handsom and funny. Obviously I would be a perfect candidate, but I wonder who else would fit the profile for a new TG presenter.

Hahaha, thanks for making my day. :lol:

[TNT]

well the 10th season should be in the US. :) and have free roam :twisted:

[vexor]

or take some days (months, a couple of years) off to think and get some fresh ideas

I think that's what will most likely happen after season 9 or maybe after another season or two next year.
