With the beloved Top Gear potentially coming to an end, there’s an opportunity for a new television motoring series to captivate car enthusiasts. Channel 4’s Bangers: Mad for Cars, which premieres tonight, aims to do just that. The show pays homage to iconic cars from the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s. It is hosted by musician Tinie Tempah and F1 analyst and stunt driver Naomi Schiff, and features memorable vehicles like the Citroen Saxo, Ford Sierra Cosworth, and Peugeot 205 GTI. Similar to Top Gear, there are various challenges and mishaps throughout the series. Bangers: Mad for Cars showcases the Battle of the Bangers, where modern classic cars compete to determine the best in class. Tempah and Schiff each select their favorites from different vehicle sectors and engage in head-to-head battles to determine the deserving champion. The show also includes interviews with experts from across the UK to explore the performance, history, culture, and iconography of each car. In addition to these discussions, Tempah participates in a number of challenges himself, such as navigating a six-wheeled Land Rover Defender through the posh streets of Chelsea, maneuvering down quarry slopes in a Suzuki Jimny, and attempting rallying in a Peugeot 205 GTI. The trailer introduces a scene where Tempah crashes a 1990s Honda NSX supercar on a track, showcasing the artist’s penchant for adventure. Despite the crashed car being a valuable collectors’ item, the version Tempah drives has over 168,000 miles on the clock, indicating its previous use. In addition to the car challenges, Tempah meets dedicated car owners in the UK who strive to convince him to advocate for their models on the show. Other nostalgic vehicles that will be featured include the BMW Z3, Lotus Carlton, Mazda MX-5, Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen, Renault Espace, Saab 900 Turbo, and TVR Cerbera. The series also promotes the use of quality used car parts from eBay’s Certified Recycled Hub and highlights the environmental benefits of recycling in the automotive industry. Each episode of Bangers: Mad for Cars is an exciting hour-long adventure that will transport petrol heads back in time and trigger nostalgic memories. The show also features celebrity guests like Ian Wright, Patrice Evra, Guz Khan, and Tom Kerridge, who share their personal experiences with cars. Tinie Tempah expressed his enthusiasm for the series, explaining that cars are more than just transportation; they are a symbol of culture and individuality. With the upcoming season of Bangers: Mad for Cars, he aims to explore the origins of iconic cars and understand their profound connection to British society. The future of Top Gear remains uncertain, but Bangers: Mad for Cars offers the potential to fill the void left by the iconic show. Tune in to Channel 4 tonight at 10:15 pm to catch the premiere of Bangers: Mad for Cars.
