DC jumps Top Gear sinking ship for Channel 4
DC is to front the Channel 4 F1 coverage, BBC's reborn Top Gear seems to be about to sink without trace.
Good news for F1 fans , not the halcyon days of the Brundle-Coulthard dream team but the best free to air could hope for.

Not surprising really, DC has a major share in the Company C4 is going to be using to produce the footage. Rumours have it that EJ could well be
joining him.

Not IMO. DC is a dire commentator who i gave benefit of doubt in early bbc days but he just hasnt got gift of gab that brundle has. Sky saw this hence
why he wasnt taken over to them.
I was hoping this would be a chance to loose him and EJ. Jurt hope 4 find someone as good as edwards to pick up slack.

Says Who?
Chris Evans was talking about it debuting in May only this morning on Radio 2, I would tend to believe him over yourself.
Edit, I do agree on the Brundle/Coulthard team, they were second only to the Walker/Brundle team.

I have my doubts about the new top gear, because I think Chris Evans is too much of a limelight hogging, control freak.
But I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt to begin with, as I was getting very bored of it in its current format.
If Chris Evans gives the other presenters a fair chance, it could be interesting.
Time will tell...

Inclined to agree with that, and he gave some Audi R8 thing 5 stars in the Mail on Sunday so at least he'll be as biased on german shite, and
just as wrong as Clarkson was.
