Fifth Gear is coming back!

Alright, there are 8 episodes this season. After the fifth episode with GT3 vs Speciale, the last two will be Romania and SA specials. I'm especially excited for SA as Tiff will finally drive the Huracan. I wonder if he shares the same opinion about its looks as Richard Hammond and me.

You are missing the Romania Special and South Africa Special. In Romania, Tiff and Vicky will be testing the Ghe-O utility vehicle. In South Africa, Tiff will drive a matt black Lamborghini Huracan. Pictures of both these cars/vehicles can be found on FG's facebook page as well as in the series 25 trailer.
 
Chris Harris on Fifth Gear. This could be the start of something wonderful.

Saw the episode today and must say, I bloody enjoyed it! Fifth Gear has definitely upped their own quality with this season. And this episode was a good example. I especially liked the 'banter' that Tiff and Chris during the Speciale vs GT3 battle. It slightly reminded me of the way Jeremy and Richard used to argue on Top Gear, but with Fifth Gear's own flair.
 
Thought Tiff was going off in 458 when he nearly lost it.


I created the individual episode threads so they can be moved to Episode Discussions

Looks like those are saved for next season. It's mentioned at the end of this episode that it's the end of the season.

Interesting. I haven't watched episode 6 yet. I'll download it today and see the ending for myself. I wonder when the next season's coming.
 
1) Old season 24 filenames are written here even though it's Season 25 (!) that has aired recently

2) back then when I was downloading the SD-rips of TopGear I was wondering why the people who recorded + transcoded the shows aren't able to spread it in the original resolution like it aired. Now as of 2002 and the following years, private Internet Access was slow so 640x360 was acceptable.

NOW THOUGH we hav fucking 2015 and these wanna-be season 25 rips are also small res like in the old days. W-T-F? I deleted the one I donwloaded immediately. Enough said.

No one made 720p rips of the latest season.
 
Rips for this show usually come out the next day after airing.
 
Nearly missed the start of the new season.
at least something to watch...
 
No rips yet.

Series 26

Fifth Gear - Episode 1
In this episode of Fifth Gear Tiff Needell and Vicki Butler-Henderson take part in a unique car v plane challenge. Nigel Lamb is the current Red Bull Air Race champion, which makes him the airborne equivalent of Lewis Hamilton. His MX2 aircraft is Formula 1 quick as well. But Tiff and Vicki also have a very special machine, a ?300,000 Lamborghini Aventador. Once Vicki has experienced a ride in Nigel?s plane, and Nigel has had a spin in the Lamborghini, it?s time for them to go head to head. The aircraft is faster, but the car can turn tighter. The result is very close.

Fifth Gear - Episode 2
In this episode of Fifth Gear Tiff Needell and Vicki Butler-Henderson visit sunny South Africa to drive everything from rally cars, to supercars to military vehicles. Tiff and Vicki visit Paramount Group, makers of the fastest, toughest, military vehicles around. Using Paramount?s off road facility they stage a tortoise versus hare race. Tiff has the faster machine but must complete the longer, smoother route. Vicki?s vehicle is slower but she can take the rougher short cut. Does winning matter? Yes, because the loser will have to occupy the passenger seat as the presenters take on the most extreme off-road course, in Paramount?s most extreme machine. Expect hyper ventilation.

Fifth Gear - Episode 3
In this episode of Fifth Gear Tiff Needell and Karun Chandhok take two high performance saloons to the track to discover which is the fastest, and most entertaining, to drive. BMW have a long history of producing very quick family sized cars, and on paper their new M4 looks every bit as good. By comparison Lexus has never made a car of this type ? however their new RC-F seems to match the BMW blow for blow. Three tests will determine which car best deserves its ?60,000 price tag. The Bentley Mulsanne Speed is, according to the manufacturers, the fastest limousine in the world. But, being a Bentley, it?s extremely luxurious to. Jonny Smith takes a tour of this ?300,000 car, which has a top speed of 190 mph but also comes equipped with Champagne flutes.

Fifth Gear - Episode 4
In this episode of Fifth Gear Tiff Needell visits northern Sweden for a very chilly rally challenge. He has just a few hours to learn the skills of racing on sheet ice before he takes on a rally champion over a treacherous rally stage. The potential for disaster waits around every corner. Jonny Smith journeys to Iceland to drive Land Rover?s new Discovery Sport. On paper it seems to be the perfect all-round car, combining brilliant off-road ability, with comfort, sportiness and space for seven. Jonny has a day to put the car through its paces, which includes driving through blizzards and a very wide, freezing, river.

Fifth Gear - Episode 5
In this episode Fifth Gear re-unites two of the greatest names in Formula 1 history ? Prost and Senna. This time it?s Ayrton?s nephew Bruno and Alain?s son Nico who will do battle on the track. With Tiff Needell and Karun Chandhok in attendance they set out to discover which of a current crop of hot hatches is best. It?s a knockout competition that will eventually result in just two cars racing head to head around the Snetterton circuit. And that means one thing ? it?s Prost v Senna all over again. After nearly 60 years the greatest 4x4 in the world, the Land Rover Defender, is about to go out of production. Vicki Butler-Henderson celebrates the end of an era by taking part in a high speed off-road challenge against current Defender Challenge Trophy champion, Edd Cobley.

Fifth Gear - Episode 6
In this episode of Fifth Gear Vicki Butler-Henderson and Tiff Needell travel to Romania to sample some of the car culture there. This includes driving some massive off-roaders, meeting a local classic car restorer, and racing a motorsport mad Mayor up the streets of his town. Tiff and Vicki travel to the wilds of the Romanian countryside to drive some extreme off-road vehicles made by a company called Ghe-O. They start off by having a race in Ghe-O?s fast Fighter buggy. The winner then gets to drive the company?s biggest machine, the Rescue. It can go literally anywhere so Tiff decides to take Vicki for a spin?up a river.
