Chris Harris, Sabine Schmitz and David Coulthard 'Confirmed' As Top Gear Hosts
After a very difficult gestation period it appears that the new version of Top Gear might not be as bad as many critics have made out. The Sun has reported that after much deliberation, Chris Evans has picked Chris Harris, David Coulthard and German racing driver Sabine Schmitz to join him as the show’s new hosts.
This decision hasn’t come easy, with The Sun reporting that this choice led to executive producer Lisa Clark (the replacement for Andy Wilman) and script editor Tom Ford leaving the show. A source for The Sun said that Lisa’s departure had “been a real shock” and caused “a lot of upheaval” within the production team.
Although the press has reported that Harris and Schmitz are complete ‘unknowns’, we know just how good this show could really be. It’s hard to predict just how the new hosts will interact on camera, but with this level of talent and online support, new Top Gear could be a force to be reckoned with!
So, is the announcement of three new incredible hosts enough to convince you to tune into the new show? Let us know!

I think this is pure speculation. afaik Chris Harris wasn’t even interested in hosting TG. Maybe a big cache changed his mind, but if proven true it’s going to be the death of his channel.
Chris Harris could be the Stig on Amazon. We still get his YouTube happiness and he gets paid.
Oh no… How could Chris Harris fall for it?! :( I can’t stand the other two…
You don’t like Harris??
Why hate on Chris Evans when Coulthard has been named? Unless no has watched BBC coverage of the F1 is one of the worst I’ve ever seen
So…what’ll happen to CHOC?
Trius fantasticus leaving TG might actualy be a good thing, now we might have TWO good car shows! Let’s just hope they don’t butcher the new show, Chris Harris and David Coulthard give me a hope that it will be a good one after all!
The only person on that list I care about is Sabine Schmitz
Clarkson made a joke about this, when Sabine was in the studio. (After she drove that Transit around Ring) Something about ditching Hammond and getting Sabine for the host.
That was a very long time ago, and certainly no more than a joke.
Illuminati confirmed?
I was watching that episode a few weeks ago. Good times. :)
Chris Harris - Just yes. All day long yes
Sabine - Mneh she’ll do fine
DC & Evans- Nope not at all. Egotistical muppets (love to use a non CT word there!)
I think they are very well chosen in their own respects and would defiantly give the show a try!
I really want TopGear to return like its old days. Where it was more based on cars, than random shenanigans and stuff
