In case you haven�t heard, Car Evolution is back this Sunday night in its usual 8pm slot on BBC2. And we�ll be there for the next six weeks, pending an outbreak of snooker or some kind of choir singing competition.The first show is packed with meaty goodness, starting with a test of the insane Ariel Atom V8 conducted by the normally sensible James May. With a car this fast, clearly we had to set a lap time in it and, since James still isn�t entirely sure which way the track goes, this would normally be a job for the Stig. Except, as you know, he recently decided to become sacked. But don�t worry, we�ve solved that one, as you will discover on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Jeremy has got a large Czech bee in his bonnet about the Skoda Yeti and elects to conduct one of his famously thorough road tests featuring helicopters, firemen, a celebrity cameo appearance and two rather amusing dogs, in order to show just how good it is.
Richard also has a point to prove this week as he attempts to show the producers that they�re wrong when they say the Porsche 911 is just an old VW Beetle with a spoiler on it. It�s an argument that eventually leads to an all-out fight against some basic laws of physics.
And as if that wasn�t enough we�ve got a packed news segment full of things you�ll be seeing on our roads later this year, and affable Liverpudlian comedian John Bishop taking a laid back stab at toppling Tom Cruise from the top of Reasonably Priced Car lap board.
It�s safe to say you won�t get any of these things if you watch Dancing on Ice.
Oh, and don�t forget to come back to TopGear.com this weekend for outtakes and behind-the-scenes footage from this week�s show. To keep you going until Sunday night, here�s some of the behind-the-scenes web highlights from last year�s run�
