Sabine Schmitz Made Chris Evans Sick During Top Gear Filming
The more we hear about the BBC’s post-Clarkson Top Gear plans, the more it sounds like a train wreck. There have been reports of meddling management, a production team that knows nothing about cars and the departure of key staff, plus rumours that host Chris Evans struggles to talk while driving. And if you’ve ever watched an episode of the motoring show, you’ll know talking while driving is kinda key.
It turns out he’s not that great at being a passenger either, as the veteran presenter has been photographed throwing up at the side of Laguna Seca circuit, having been made physically sick after riding shotgun in an Audi R8 V10 Plus driven by co-star Sabine Schmitz.
Despite all the issues involved with filming and behind the scenes, the BBC is still insisting that production of the show is on schedule.
It’s due to kick off in May, and I really do hope the show’s various problems are resolved. Sure, we’ll have Clarkson and co’s new Amazon Prime series to watch, but I reckon we should go by the philosophy of why not both. The presence of Chris Harris and the chance for a completely revamped show has us intrigued - we just have to hope that Evans’ stomach can cope…
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.

I don’t like Evan’s but give the guy a chance, the old TG guys had been doing this kind of thing for years and even if one of them threw up it’d not have been reported back in the day because it’d have not made it to the interwebs (maybe a small snip in The Sun).
Reserving judgement until I see the show - it will probably take the whole season for the presenters to ‘gel’. Forever hopeful! :)
I can almost guarantee you he felt sick, right after “The Corkscrew” in Laguna Seca :D
Captain slow 2.0
Car throttle being cheeky reposting my post ;)
TopGear take me!! I can drive and I don`t get car sick!
its actually such a shame chris harris has (if true) has gone to top gear. What he had was so good.
This sums it all. Topgear is one of those irreplaceable shows. And so are the presenters :)
I feel sorry for this new crew.
I’m a long time TopGear fan and viewer, but I’m not intrigued one tiny bit about the “revamped” TopGear. Without Clarkson-Hammond and May there is no TopGear. Either change the name to something completely different or go home!
So you are saying that car show host is car sick? xDDD
