Top Gear has now got a new rival as to the launch of Chris Evan's take on the original BBC2 motoring show. ITV has announced details of its new show, The Drive, in which eight celebrities will compete against each other in a series of races and vehicles. This is article is about that there is a new driving TV series going to happen and it could potential be a big clash with Top gear. This is a big rival as Top Gear are in struggle of losing original hosts and also there producer.
1. TV’s show will use a knockout format that will culminate in a final involving a race with Formula 4000 racing cars. The programme is being made by TwoFour Productions, the company behind Splash! and The Hotel Inspector.
2. The five-part series, hosted by Vernon Kay with former professional driver Jason Plato offering expert advice, is expected to air by the summer.
3. Evans, who is filming scenes for the show in the US, admitted the hectic schedule and pressure to reinvent the programme had been a “baptism of fire, to say the least”.
In my opinion this could be a problem for Top Gear ratings to go down as people are losing interest as to losing their producer and the three main hosts they use to have. Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond. This was what people wanted and now Top Gear could be going through a problem this show is at the same time. This could also mean that we will get different ranges of driving T.V shows but it would also mean that its opportunity for the new show coming in.
