So we have Eddie Jordan and Sabine Schmitz in the Top Gear team. At least two people with actual knowledge of how to drive a car properly fast and industry connections.
Reserving judgement on the show until it actually airs, this can go either way.

THE full line-up for the new look Top Gear has finally been confirmed.
Chris Evans and Matt Le Blanc will head a SIX PERSON bumper cast also featuring Formula 1 pundit Eddie Jordan and motoring journalist Rory Reid.
German racing driver Sabine Schmitz will add some much needed glamour, while YouTuber Chris Harris will help draw in younger viewers.
Eddie, who once had Michael Schumacher and Damon Hill as part of his F1 team, said: "I have such enormous respect for all my fellow presenters and I politely ask that they go easy on these old bones."
Announcing the lineup on his Radio 2 Breakfast Show, Chris described Eddie as "bonkers", "unpredictable" and "a loose cannon".

Re: Top Gear will not be broadcast this Sunday
Hoping they don't make it to serious about metal boxes with wheels on. Part of the fun of the Clarkson team was the silliness of it all.

With the BBC announcing the presenting line-up for the latest series of Top Gear, critics were quick to take to the internet to voice their disapproval. ‘Top Gear, more like FLOP Gear,’ one wag wrote on the site’s Facebook page. ‘I mean, I only recognise like three of them – and one of those is The Stig – so they can’t be any good. And I don’t like the ones I recognise, so they’ll be rubbish too.’
Other critics were quick to pounce on the unfamiliarity or familiarity of the hosts, the fact they either know too much or not enough about cars, the chemistry that may or may not be present, their dislike of Chris Evans because he got to see Billie Piper naked or whether the show will be too much or not enough like the ‘old’ Top Gear.
All agreed that they would not watch it, though they watch the first one, but only to deride it, unless it’s alright, in which case they might watch the second one to see if it wasn’t a fluke, then get Top Gear Live tickets to make fun of them not being able to deliver it to a crowd, and possibly a DVD or two so they can nit-pick in my spare time.

It seems the BBC do not understand why top gear was popular. Imagine the best moments of topgear, now replace clarkson, may, Hammond with Evans, Le Blanc, Schmitz.
It was the dynamic, not the "metal boxes" that we loved.

Re: Top Gear will not be broadcast this Sunday

JEREMY Clarkson has been forced to say sorry to a producer he punched in a rage over hot food as he settles a £100,000 lawsuit.
Producer Oisin Tymon took out a six-figure racial discrimination and personal injury claim against Clarkson and the BBC after the outburst last November.
Clarkson said: "I would like to say sorry, once again, to Oisin Tymon for the incident and its regrettable aftermath.
"I want to reiterate none of this was in any way his fault."

Re: Top Gear will not be broadcast this Sunday
Seems a lot of people are desperate for this to fail.
Who cares anyway, it's a programme about boring cars, not sure why everyone gets their pants in a twist about it. Stop watching when Angela Rippon left, lost it's street cred then.
