And they’re back! Sort of. The trailer for Top Gear Season 23 is finally here, giving us our first taste of the show in its post-Clarkson era. With a new seven-person cast, episode one of the new season is expected to air in the UK come May 22.
From the minute-long trailer, it doesn’t looks like much has changed, save for the new crew. There’s a Dodge Viper ACR and a Corvette chasing each other around a track with Browning machine guns on their roofs, a Ferrari F12tdf is seen hammering its way around the Circuit Paul Ricard and there’s Jenson Button drifting a McLaren 675LT.
You can also spot Matt LeBlanc having a bit too much fun in an Ariel Nomad, Chris Evans losing his strawberry lunch, an Aston Martin Vulcan doing a few donuts on a track, and the return of the popular Reliant Robin on the show.
All in, it looks like the new cast is doing well to live up to the show’s hype. Wouldn’t you say? Tell us what you think about the trailer for Top Gear Season 23 in the comments section below.

After watching the video, I had a case of sudden, uncontrollable yawning.
Well we know it’s going to suck
what a dreary american flavour to it… not interesting in the slightest!
Chris once said when he was a guest on Top Gear ‘I’m not a petrolhead’….. and HE’s the one BBC chose to replace Jezza? I must admit, millions of viewers will be watching the first 2… maybe 3 episodes out of curiosity. Then it’s back to the REAL skim shady.
BBC was smart enough to emphasize on quick-cuts of car scenes. If there were any more dialogue in there, people would realize how self-indulgent it is and how much it sucks. For now, this trailer will still be able to fool people to try and catch a couple of episodes.
I believe it is too early to pass judgement. Heck, the show has not been aired yet. Look at Top Gear America, first few episodes, we felt were bad, but it turned out pretty good.
