Top Gear's Rory Reid Will Star In 'Extra Gear' Spinoff
Amid all the talk of a troubled production period, fallouts between Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc and all the rest of it, one thought remains when we contemplate Top Gear’s reboot: we can’t wait to see YouTube favourites Chris Harris and Rory Reid in action. We’ve gone into detail about why Reid - the least known of Top Gear’s sizeable cast - is one to watch, and if we’ve convinced you, here’s some good news: he’s getting his own spinoff called ‘Extra Gear’.
According to the BBC, the show will “bring fans exclusive new footage, interviews, specially recorded films and behind the scenes access to Top Gear.” It’ll be available to view on the BBC’s iPlayer and BBC Three’s website immediately after Top Gear is broadcast on BBC2, and will also be broadcast internationally via BBC Brit and BBC America.
The new series of Top Gear will begin late May.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Top Gear (+Extra Gear), Currently Unnamed Carshow, CarThrottle, Motor Trend and many more. That’s my spare time over scheduled.
Don’t forget watching C.H.O.C. from over a year ago on Youtube
Can’t forget LTACY and Banging Gears
Actually love this guy.
How can you get an Extra Gear if you’re already in Top Gear?
Fast and Furious gearbox mate ^^
I’ll show you
Who was that guy again ?
Replace Chris Evans with this guy.
Honestly, the only reason I will watch the new topgear is because of Rory Reid. I like his reviews on Youtube. I wouldn´t mind seeing just Matt Leblanc, Chris harris and Rory Reid as the only cast of the new top gear.

Shouldn’t a spin of Top Gear be called Overdrive? o.O
Should have called it “Chrome Gear”…
Extra Gear? You mean Reverse?
