New Top Gear Lap Will Have A Rallycross Section To Encourage Epic Fails
Revamping one of Top Gear’s most popular segments must be one hell of tricky task (‘Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car’ ran for a whopping 11 years) but it looks like Chris Evans and his new team have done exactly that.
Out goes the boring Vauxhall Astra, traditional track-layout and one-on-one method of interviewing, and in comes a Rallycross Mini Cooper, a whopping jump and intense celebrity battles; two celebs will tackle the track per week. Oh, and did we mention that there will be a special ‘water splash area’ that the competitors will have to hit at speed? Sounds like an absolute riot, and the potential for epic fails will be off the scale.
Three-time British Touring Car Championship champion Matt Neal has given us a sneak peak of the new track via Twitter. From the pictures, it doesn’t look like the circuit has been finished. And that’s rather surprising when you consider that American actor Jesse Eisenberg and celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey will be competing next week.
When it is finished however, we should be in for a treat. If you want to watch the pair do battle, make sure to tune in to BBC2 on Sunday 29 May. Is anyone feeling excited yet?

Well that’s it. I’m sold!
Rally cross for people that have never driven a track before what a terrible idea. This should be head to head track time not some shamble that a 10 year puts together. What next the doing the track in reverse gear.
Exactly, and what’s this about a “water splash area” like seriously? Is this supposed to be a serious thing like it was on old top gear or what
The star in the car part of the new Top Gear will probably be pretty good to be honest, never liked it with Clarkson…I know I know, kill me now
This is my birthday present from the BBC? Wow. So basically the lap on the track itself is gone? And replaced with the rallycross bit?
What about forza? The TG track will be renamed? Chris Evans will narrate the menus? Jeremy will be forgot? Find out next week on:
It’ll be all fun and games till a celeb rolls and gets hurt.
Thats… thats actually a really quire good idea.
Sounds interesting
A Rallycross Mini is not a reasonably priced car. Still sounds really entertaining though.
Expecting 2-wheeled action and badly executed barrel rolls…
