What do you all think of this? Seems like an awesome guy, the right fit… I don’t get smug toff vibes from this dude.

I’ve just seen this and I really hope this isn’t true.. nothing against him and his character but that level of passion isn’t going to work well in an hour long episode

I wonder what chemistry, if any, Izzy Hammond would bring alongside Francis Bourgeois?
If they're serious about a show for the next generation, then maybe maybe maybe they're onto something. But I do feel like it needs to be a balance of personalities like the original show, but not like Top Gear TRYING to BE the original show.

For a moment I was thinking it is some April fools. But the date of release is yesterday. And I have no idea who that bloke is.
TechnologyFamiliar20@reddit
I hate him. He's like opposite of May, grandpa Hammond.... or Clarskon.
michaelloda9@reddit
What do you mean, he's a young bloke with heavy opinions on trains, he's got good sense of humour and dresses like his grandfather. He's gonna be basically the new James May. If he's not good then who will be?

Well as soon as they advocate for not using cars I am done.
I stopped drinking James Gin after he said people should not use cars in London.
But... I am willing to give them a chance. Same what I did to top gear after the trio left.
Currently Drivetribe with Izzy Hammond did produce some "almost" great challenges like our favorite trio had (the offroad race with Range Rovers).

He is an obtrusive spam in my youtube/shorts lists. Yes, I also like trains (watching them), but don't force people see my stupid reactions.

Ah that explains why I dont know about the bloke.
I have all short form videos blocked by my adblocking system.

I was skeptical but I just looked him up. He's amazing. Get him! I actually really want this new Grand Tour to do well, I hope they can pull it off.

You can't replace perfection so this is just irrelevant.

I think they should get David Souffle. He may be a french policeman and addicted to pastry but something tells me he would fit in just right.

What an absolute crapshoot of a website. I’ll never understand why websites add so much crap that the content they’re trying to show people is nearly impossible to read.
ItsMangel@reddit
Ad revenue.
1llseemyselfout@reddit
Surely the website being unreadable makes it so people will never return to said website after the experience, no?
TheRealPyroManiac@reddit
The train guy? Ok
Independent-Judge-81@reddit
I don't trust any of this article. Claiming sources from the Sun and the Express. I've learned my lesson seeing so many fake articles about the trio for years.
HaydenJA3@reddit
Whatever they do it’s a completely different show moving forwards

And just like that I stopped caring 🙄 Bummer
