Looks like Jeremy will be racing the boys again this time from Britain to Italy. And Jeremy will be driving a GT500.




WEMBLEY TO MILAN

We offer the definitive answer to an age-old quandary - what's the fastest way to get from Britain to Italy to watch a football match in the San Siro stadium in Milan if you only have £35,000 to spend on a car? Road or rail? James and Richard take the train, Jeremy's in a surprisingly inexpensive Shelby Mustang GT500.

The January 2013 edition of Top Gear magazine reported that series 19 will return on 27 January 2013. It included a preview of the series, which will feature:
  • An Africa special which will see the boys drive used estate cars they bought online for £1,500 (BMW 5-Series Touring, a Volvo 850 T5-R, and a Subaru WRX).
  • A USA special coming which will feature the SRT Viper, Lexus LFA, and an Aston Martin Vanquish.
  • Jeremy commissions students taking Coventry University automotive design to make him a car that's even smaller than the Peel P50 he drove a few years ago.
  • James attempts to turn a Bentley Continental GT into a rally car
  • A Road Trip: Shelby Mustang GT500 versus a train
  • The boys redesign a Fiat Multipla to make it into the ultimate car for old people
  • Car rugby with Kia Cee'ds
  • Road tests of the Toyota GT86, Pagani Huayra, Ferrari F12, Lotus Exige V6 S and a hot hatch battle (Ford Focus ST, Renault Megane RenaultSport Cup 265, and Vauxhall Astra VXR).[5]

US version sucks and never will be any good. They just need to cancel it.

Also TGUK posted this on the FB page today.

Impatiently waiting for the new season to begin... And what's up with that pic? Trying to make a Bentley do a stoppie? Interesting to see if that appears on the show and the story behind it.

Haven't really had a chance to watch the US one, not even sure they show it over here. Can't wait to see the GT500 episode next week!

No kill it off now. It should have been done after the first season.

If you wanna look at the things that way, then TG UK should've been killed off after the first season too. Because it was just horrible at the beginning. It took them at least 4-5 seasons to get at least average and additional few seasons to become good ... and they started to suck (again) over the past few seasons.
