Does anyone know when Top Gear season 11 will be airing in Australia

[zeggawong]

I was expecting it to start around now. With seasons 12 starting in the UK.

The 24th of November. When the current run of TGA finishes.

And the latest news is that series 12 will be following it in January. So SBS will have gone from being over a year (two seasons) behind, to showing series 12 episodes only two months after they air on BBC2.

SBS’s most popular program Top Gear returns this month with an all new six-episode series commencing Monday 24 November at 7:30pm.

Doing what they do best hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May and The Stig return for Series 11.

Top Gear fans will get a summer full of motoring entertainment on SBS with the network catching up to the UK and presenting back-to-back new Top Gear, with the eight-part Series 12 following Series 11, from Monday 5 January 2009.

“We know Top Gear fans have a real thirst for the latest antics from the British Top Gear team and so SBS has an action packed summer planned for our audience,” Director of Content, Matt Campbell said.

“This will bring Australian viewers up-to-date with Top Gear UK after a successful introduction to the local lads from Top Gear Australia.”

In Series 11 you can expect to see double the celebrities, Jeremy test drive the latest cars and a race across Japan with the ultra efficient Japanese public transport system taking on the high tech Nissan GTR. The hosts are asked to purchase old Alpha Romeos for under £1000 and are then challenged by the producers to put them through a track day, calendar shoot and car show. Richard competes against two skiers in the Alps, Jeremy and James show off their large ageing luxury cars through the streets of London and a bunch of men wearing tight pants chase Jeremy through a forest.

Episode 1 – Monday 24 November, 7:30pm

Top Gear looks at fuel economy and, in an important and useful test, find out how far five supercars can go on one gallon of petrol. The hosts are then presented a challenge – to buy old bombs and turn them into modern police cars before putting them through a number of challenges including a spectacular car chase test with The Stig driving the getaway car. Jeremy compares the Toyota Prius and BMW M3, of course, and test drives the Ferrari Suderia. Alan Carr and Justin Lee Collins from The Friday Night Project are the Stars in the Reasonably Priced Car.

All new Top Gear on SBS, from Monday 24 November at 7:30pm

You know, I can eventually see TG becoming to SBS what The Simpsons is to Channel 10 ...

(Aussies would know EXACTLY what I'm talking about here ...)
