This became the season they don't refer to, due to the unpopular changes in the series, most notoriously including the choice of Chris Evans (the UK Radio and TV host), as a main host.
The new series has brought several major changes to the 'star in the reasonably priced car' segment, The largest being the addition of an off-road section of the Top Gear racetrack. Other differences that took place on this debut were the 2 guests explaining what the other was promoting, the audience 'voting' for which celebrity had the best first car and then the best car they ever had.
