I hope they find a way to keep the news segments, I always enjoyed those. Maybe as an episode intro / outro before all of the pieces. I am so looking forward to more adventure / challenge / history pieces. Next year should be amazing. Mongolia was a fantastic episode this year.

I have to imagine that it is getting difficult to keep a finger on the pulse of motoring at present.
Supercars are popping up everywhere, with amazing designs and amazing engines, but they're also homogenizing as they all approach the apex of performance, . . low slung mid-engined, with lots of active aero.
And cars of the people are in a transition period between economical ICE and electric. Homogenization is compounded here as the big companies merge and share platforms. Only so much interest in how much of an Audi is actually a BMW, and how much of a Chevy is actually a Peugot, etc.
Even the performance speccing, and the hot laps and the powerslides, . . all the exciting footage, tends to meld into on blur of fast and noisy.
Also, a lot of their cachet in simply putting your eyes on the latest and greatest is taken up for free [if less professionally shot and edit] by youtubers like DeMuro or Schmee.
Like I said earlier, I'm going to have faith that they put as much passion and energy into finding new things and sharing new adventures in the lesser explored corners of the earth.
