Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May compare the Mercedes SLS, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS and the Ferrari 458 Italia in an epic road trip up America's east coast. Along the way they undertake a series of challenges culminating in a fight to find the fastest way into New York, all in the name of crowning the world's greatest sports car. Plus, a round up of car-related Christmas stuff and another celebrity takes to the track as the star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

I don't think it is a repeat. More likely the last in the series or one off special. Then the new series starts with a challenge next week.

Clarkson was on R2 the other day stating they have 2 specials over Christmas, tonight and boxing day. The the new series starts in Jan.

Thats not what it says on the link. It says its episode number 7 or 7, from series 15.

I know there is a new 2-part special over Christmas, but this doesn't look like its anything to do with that (they're getting dropped off in Iraq or something).

It's just the way the planner has linked it I think? There were 6 episodes in the last series and this seems to be linked to the last series link as you can't series link it to Sunday's episode?

Definately a brand new show tonight though :thumbsup:

I saw the first two episodes of Top Gear USA which started a month ago. It’s not terrible but it’s a pretty pale imitation of the original. It totally lacks the all important chemistry between the presenters that you get with Clarkson, Hammond and May. Unusually for a US production it does not appear to have anywhere near the same budget that the BBC allocates – and it shows. And why did they choose the History Channel for the debut – it needed to be on one of the main US networks. It may get a niche market but looks set to disappear without trace – IMHO.

Exactly, well at least the way the schedulers linked it. The EPG is only instructed to do what it's told.

I'd imagine the Christmas schedules are finalised quite late, what with being an important period broadcasters are "scored" against.

Programme makers don't choose the network, the networks choose which programmes to buy.
