Chris Harris Will Star In A Load Of Awesome Online Top Gear Videos

As the rumours of Chris Harris’ Top Gear appointment gathered pace, his YouTube channel - Chris Harris On Cars - went a little quiet. However, if you follow the man on Twitter or Instagram you’ll know he’s still been out filming stuff with videographer partner-in-crime Neil Carey, so we’ve been wondering exactly where all that juicy content might go.

Now we have the answer. TopGear.com announced today that Harris will be - in his own words - producing “longer-form, more detailed web films” to be exclusively shown on the website. He’ll still be on Top Gear and Extra Gear, but these videos will be for those who are after more in the way of geeky detail. People like us, in other words.

I'm still doing the telly show and Extra Gear, but I wanted to keep making the longer, geeky films. And the dear old Beeb said 'okay'!!;— harrismonkey

If you take a look at the trailer over on TopGear.com (it seems the trailer’s exclusive to TG too so we can’t embed, boo), you’ll see what we have to look forward to, with cars including the Porsche 911 Turbo S, McLaren P1, Porsche 918 Spyder and Alfa Romeo Giulia all in slidey action.

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Best news in ages, I was seriously getting frustrated that the Monkey ditched his own brilliant films for Top Gear. Rejoice!

100% Agree!

It’s awesome that Neil’s working on it too! Chris Harris on Cars + BBC Production Budget = Awesome! :D

Chris Harris will get more screen time than Evans. May the world rejoice!!

This is the best thing that has happened since Top Gear was out

In his own words: “Yes, please!” :D

I need this so much. His bit on TG was good and all, but I did felt like something was missing, Neil’s videography. This is great news!!

I was under the impression Neil was part of the Top Gear production team? Might be wrong though

I enjoyed seeing him on actual TG last night rather than just the stupid Extra Gear. He and Rory did an awesome job. Evans can’t compete with the others.
