V+ is set ready
Hope it's better than the last season, was a bit disappointed in places and it was too short.

Don't panic, that's standard. They typically have a season aired in the summer which is obviously filmed mostly during the winter which is more car orientated. The winter season (filmed mostly in the summer) is the one that typically has more wacky stuff and (hopefully) a top gear 'adventure' episode.

I didn't mean because it was more car orientated I liked that Just seemed to lack a certain something I couldn't put my finger on, it felt a little stilted in places.
Might have just been me though.

I liked it more than the first ep of the last series. It has potential. Seems to be a lot of good road trips.

Were they at Bedford Autodrome with the trucks? I assumed they were but didn't realise it was like that :/ Decided not to apply for a job there two weeks ago and now I want to!

It's the big testing place whose name now eludes me just down the road.

Bedford is just an airfield circuit (though one of my favs) so no hills.

THoroughly entertaining! It's a shame it's become so scripted but all the same, good fun
