Top Gear's Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc head for the sun in new trailer

Top Gear trailer 3

The BBC has released a summery new trailer to promote the the upcoming launch of Chris Evans’s new-look Top Gear.

The trailer opens with Evans and former Friends star and co-host, Matt LeBlanc, being welcomed to Blackpool by its mayor in the pouring rain.

The clip then cuts to sunnier climes the Top Gear team have visited with guests including Tinie Tempah, Texas singer Sharleen Spiteri, and Seasick Steve.

It is soundtracked by Dodgy’s 1990s hit Staying Out for the Summer.

The trailer will debut on TV on BBC1 at 9pm, airing between EastEnders and MasterChef, and simultaneously on BBC2.

It is the third trailer launched to promote the return of the new BBC2 motoring show, due to begin airing later this month.
