I loled as well. One thing that really bugged me was the American and now he is gone

I'll be watching no.2 tonight. 

That electric car went up in flames quick in the 1st episode, and they said it kept reigniting for 5 days as the battery cells broke down.  Clarkson expression in the drag race after his overconfidence was good to.

I haven't seen anything from the second season yet. I guess I have something to look forward to now!

I liked season one, especially the dune buggies in Namibia episodes. I had waited till the end and binge watched several nights after work.

Looking forward to watching season 2

They brought back the interview  and racing each other part with celebrities which is the bit I disliked in TG

Does anybody watch the show because of the interviewees or care about them?

I think they are just wasting show time that could be used by the three presenters  to entertain us..

Do yourself a favour and watch season 2, not that much of an interview and the first tow have been great  :salute:

I wish they would stop doing those stupid races.  Listening to May and Hammond bicker gets old really quickly. They've done it a million times and is now just annoying, most of that section got fast forwarded through.

Doesn't translate that well, but that's why my Granny always said nobody can argue about pretty or nice  :rofl:

I enjoy the races, not all of them, but the Polar Special was a race and that's some of their most epic work  :gimme:

Just realised, I think what I like best about the first 2 episodes is you can again believe it's unscripted, en if we know better thanks to their jokes on the subject

About those charging stations... you can see on the map (not sure if those are all stations, I think they are only from one company) they could have gone to Ibach :D
