The Top Gear series that had Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid is more enjoyable to watch compared to the Grand Tour episodes with Clarkson, Hammond, and May.

You have gearheads that had a passion for driving cars without the outdated, elitist jokes from that dinosaur Clarkson. LeBlanc Harris and Reid also have a great knowledge of the vehicles just like Clarkson and co.


I saw an old episode of Top Gear where Harris and LeBlanc raced each other from Dubai to the nearby country of Oman.

Harris thought that he would win the race easily in a Bugatti Chiron because the race rules were that LeBlanc could drive a car in the race.

LeBlanc took a chauffeur ride in a Bentley Mulsanne extended wheelbase, drove a speedboat, took a flight in a Honda Jet, and rode a Ducatti 1299 Superlegerra to beat Harris.

Sadly, LeBlanc reluctantly left Top Gear because the gruelling travel schedule meant that he was away from his family for long periods of time.
