I enjoyed it.
Le Blanc is an excellent presenter, there is a VERY good driver on board and the other bloke is a geezer.
Refreshing to get away from the "posh" boys style .
Awesome section on the FFXK .

Found the show perfectly acceptable. Hopefully the three guys will jell over the series. More than a match for Grand Tour.

Anyway, some machine, but what a business model from Ferrari.
Spend 2 million on the car, you can't keep it, you can't race it, and you can't drive it on the road. Plus you need a team of our mechanics anytime you use it

Give them a bit of time to see how they get on.

I enjoyed it and have a lot of time for Chris Harris. Hopefully they get the banter going and it goes from strength to strength, not enough car shows as it is so fingers crossed

Enjoyed the FXXK feature, then it went stale. The 'challenge' was very boring, to the point I turned it over. They're just copying the old format. Move on and come up with something new. Alternatively, make the entire programme about cars I.e news, reviews etc.

Then again, most folk just want an 'entertainment' programme with the odd power slide in a supercar. Dissapointing.

On a different note. I like Chris Harris, can tolerate Le Blanc, Rory is a ****.

Watched it last night and this totally sums it up for me. Too staged again IMO. Chris Harris is the most natural presenter out of the bunch, really liked him. The guest spot I thought was just odd having them sit around awkwardly for nearly the whole show. Why? Makes no sense.

Chris Harris looked genuinely shocked\sh1tting it when he rammed LeBlanc hard up the rear in his Volvo... hahahaha

Mind you he couldn't avoid him, the taxi dived right, leBlanc was a sitting lame duck, unavoidable....

The other guy - Rory? - I was'nt sure if he was looking at me or the missus most of the show - hahahahaha

Yes.


They need to drop the guest spot and just concentrate on car reviews etc. Change the format up.
