It seems 2024 is the year for Australian reboots as BBC Studios and Paramount has confirmed Top Gear Australia will return after more than a decade since the spin-off was axed.
From 2008 to 2012, Australia had its own run at the popular series with Warren Brown, Charlie Cox and Steve Pizzati behind the wheel. There were a few shake ups in the original with Jomes Morrison replacing Charlie Cox and Shane Jacobson and Ewen Page later presenting alongside Steve.

While Blair hosts Top Gear Australia, the car duo has been momentarily split up. However, Blair revealed on the Mighty Car Mods Instagram page, he cannot wait to “do some skids on TV.”
Speaking on the reboot, Paramount Australia and New Zealand SVP Content and Programming Daniel Monaghan said: “Top Gear Australia promises to deliver everything fans love about the show but with an Aussie twist.”
“We can’t wait for Jonathan, Beau and Blair to get behind the wheel of the world’s biggest car entertainment show.”
While some Top Gear fans seem sceptical on the Australia reboot, we cannot wait to watch more “adrenaline-fueled adventures” in 2024.
