PICK OF THE DAY

TOP GEAR, 8.30PM, RTÉ2

MATT LeBlanc, Chris Harris and Rory Reid begin the 25th series – new to RTÉ – by getting their motors running and heading out on a road trip across the Wild West to celebrate the 116th Anniversary of the V8, testing out new V8 sports cars along the way. Matt has the Ford Mustang GT350R, Rory the Jaguar F-Type SVR and Chris (pictured with Matt and Rory) the McLaren 570GT. Plus, Welsh actor, comedian and presenter Rob Brydon is the Star In A Reasonably Fast Car doing his lap on the Top Gear track. As the former owner of a Mitsubishi Carisma he’s sure to have plenty of expert tips to share with the team.
