Your support makes all the difference.The revamped series of BBC's Top Gear is edging ever closer and a newly-released trailer teases a particularly thrilling set-piece involving new host Matt LeBlanc behind the wheel of an unpredictable off-road vehicle.
The former Friends actor can be seen struggling to get into the Ariel Nomad, maneuvering himself about before unleashing himself upon the sun-soaked landscape.
Wheel-spinning his way across the barren location, a motorbike can be seen flying over his vehicle as a cloud of dust engulfs him before deadpanning: "It's fairly dusty."
The Episodes star will co-host the new series alongside Chris Evans. Racing driver Sabine Schmitz, F1 pundit Eddie Jordan, motoring journalist Rory Reid and YouTuber Chris Harris are also set to feature.
Despite suffering a series of roadblocks over the past few months, the BBC2 series will premiere on an unspecified date in May.
The show's original presenting trio - Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May - are poised to debut a new as-of-yet untitled car series on Amazon Prime this coming Autumn.
