The French declination of the cult program of the BBC returns to the RMC discovery waves.This April 1, at 9:05 p.m., the channel will indeed offer the first episode of Top Gear France Season 7. A season when the most mysterious and unpredictable element was not the stig, but the COVVI-19 and its share of restrictions.
For this 2021 season, the production team has adapted to various health protocols.Behind the scenes, the preparations favored visioconference meetings.But we don't make a TV show with a webcam and by zoom.On the set, if there are masks and hydro alcoholic gel at will, there are especially fewer people.Indeed, the public has disappeared.The production trick was to constitute an audience of cars placed as spectators, and whose flagship and horns awaken the director's will to create the atmosphere.

Top Gear France also sees a new recruit arriving.Alongside Philippe Lellouche, Le Tone, and Bruce Jouanny, we will now find Luc Alphand.The former world ski champion has been a regular for asphalt for many years.From the Dakar to his own stable at the 24h of Le Mans, it is a touch to everything from the steering wheel.He finds the opportunity here to bring his driving experience, without taking himself seriously.
Another novelty, the Subaru BRZ retired after 3 seasons.They are replaced by new vehicles from the Japanese brand Toyota, Hilux.New vehicles, new track!The timed towers of the guests will now be on a 2 -kilometer land track, including turns, banking, and bumps for a few memorable jumps.
We met a few guests on a day of shooting, and all had a big smile after rubbing themselves with the track.Thus, during this season, the Hilux will be in the hands of Malika Menard, Henri Leconte, Jean-Baptiste Guégan, Sandy Heribert, Julien Fébreau, Olivier Panis, Sébastien Loeb, Claude Dartois, Franky Zapata, Gaspard Proust, Tom Leeb, Camille Lacourt, Booder, Arnaud Tsamere, Julien Cohen, Côme Levin, Greg Guillotin, Raymond Aabou, and Dominique Rizet.Who will do the best time?For some, it is less time than the height of the jump that will have been important: "It is hot Claude" will we have heard in slides!
Throughout the 11 shows of the season, the team will put cameras and wheels in many landscapes: Andorra, Corsica, La Plagne will be playgrounds for those that RMC Découverte calls "4 (almost) fantastic".What satisfy the 683,000 viewers (average, over 4 years and +) awaiting the return of the program.And for the first program, it will be honor to the newcomer with a "special Luc Alphand".
