TopGear – the biggest and most popular TV show about cars just started it‘s 13th season.  What can we expect and what it will be like – only the production team knows. But if you‘re reading TG magazine and visit topgear.com from time to time, you  might got an impression already.

While James May was travelling into moon (sort off) Jeremy have driven more supercars.  And his so beloved Mercedes-Benz SL Black is on that list. There‘s also the new Audi R8 V10, the furious but still comfortable Ford Focus RS and, according to Jeremy, very comfortable Lotus Evora. While Jeremy is layal to shouting  ‘power‘, Hammond is still loving BMW Z4. May‘s beloved Renault Megane R26R also gets into Richard‘s hands. Is it any good? Well, we will find out it later in the series. But there‘s also one surprise already on the Power lap board. The Ferrari FXX beats all it‘s rivals and in Stigs‘ hands goes round the TG lap just under 1:10 minutes. Well maybe soon we will get to see the new Koenigsegg...

Even Andy William was pretty avare of number 13 but looks like he‘s really impressed by the job they did for the upsomming series. And looks like TG isn't going to die soon.

“Dear TopGear, What would be your programe like if you would make it 60 years ago?“ – words from a letter by one of the TG fans. Well the answer is simple – everything would be egzactly the same. So – an epic race as it woul be in 1949. Boys got an astonishing Jaguar XK120, a legend motorbike Vincent Black Shadow and one of the most modern train in Britain (sort of). As Jeremy isn‘t a fan of motorbikes he‘s really happy about not having a chance to go from London to Edinburgh on one. But a little batle between James and Jeremy as they both wants to go on train. Well Jeremy pooled his peace of paper and he was lucky to have the train. So Jaguar will be driver by man with no sence of dirrection – James May. At egzactly 7:23 races starts and who will be the first to get into Edinburgh? While Hammond experience unconviniant ride on the bike it becomes two horses race. Train or car – who will be the first? Find it out by watching the first episode of the series.

While TG is a world leading car show you probably will think how they have established that.  But guys are more interested in solving other problems such as who’s faster – the new Porsche Panamera or an envelope. Really interesting race and Hammond with May sorts that out.

Probably one of the best challenges on TG – buying cheap car and setting it through a number of challenges. Well 13th series isn’t an exception. This time guys been given 1500 pounds to buy a rear wheel drive drive car and set for a trip through France. What they haven’t expected was the finish line in the Alps. So who’s the best in this challenge – Porsche 944, a Nissan 300ZX or Ford Capri. Well for sure – May gets it all wrong.

And – what TopGear without travelling. Well in this case – sorting out the airport transport. Which car in the airport is the fastest one – this will be sorted out with a help from Touring car drivers.

While Jeremy, James and Richard is looking for the best smallest UK car they manage to annoy government, are being told by police to leave and then finally solving all on the track. If you’re 8 and watching TG – you’ll probably want a dog after the show. Well, so climes TG magazine.

A two supercar race in Dubai – Bugatti Veyron and McLaren F1. Which is faster and how all goes on – check upcoming episodes.

And not to forget to mention – TG does a car add. If you’re a TG fan you can imagine how all that goes on. And to mention – the car is so beloved VW Scirocco TDI.

One of the most Googled things on the internet is a question “Who’s the Stig”. Well, is it really Michael Schumacher? Will the real Stig come back after this trick or Schumacher is really the man behind the white suite.
