too bad now we won't get to see Clarkson behind the wheel of a Focus RS, unless some other network gets him.

I'm sure we'll see him behind the wheel of the Focus. Clarkson is a legend! He'll soon get scooped up my another network and start Top Gears sequel

I think that he could also do something online, or on another tv network. I am thinking similar to Jay Leno, but much better since I am not fond of Jay.

Welcome to the forum! Toronto is cold right now, but summer must be around the corner, it must be!

Whatever Clarkson does, it's gonna be dope! lol

Jalopnik made a list of some jobs that Mr. Clarkson could look to take up.

I t would certainly be entertaining. I'm sure that it would draw a crowd.

welcome to the boards! Clarkson quit, this was just a way to publicly profit for all parties involved...

You sound quite sure of yourself. I think in situations like this it can be hard to say who quit and who got fired. If they were going to fire him, then he would just quit instead. I think what technically happened is they decided not to renew his contract.

various media reports are saying 'fired'

That's what i've been seeing as well.
What ever it is, he's gone, all what everyone needs to know.

Cosmonaut · Apr 11, 2015

I've heard both that the show will be cancelled and that the show will continue. It just wouldn't be the same without clarkson.

S.Elliot · Apr 13, 2015

recently read that BBC didn't completely get rid of him apparently they have plans to use him just not again on Top Gear.

Cosmonaut · Apr 14, 2015

Clarkson is entertaining as a host generally. He will be good on another show, and it might be interesting and refreshing to see him some place new. I did read that, counter to rumors, Clarkson won't be hosting the Have I Got News for You in April.

BBC's new highly anticipated series based on the GTA game series could pick up profits where they lost with top gear

Unlike many coding success stories, Grant [sic] Theft Auto was not created in Silicon Valley — it was the brainchild of a bunch of British gaming geniuses who had known each other since their school days. In autumn 2013 its latest iteration — GTA:V — earned $1bn in its first three days, becoming the fastest selling entertainment product in history.

GTA offered gamers the chance to step into a fantasy world where they could behave like criminals, gun down rival gangsters and cops, hijack cars and venture deeper into an imaginary American gangland underworld.

But the violent gameplay coupled with its outstanding success led to fierce opposition: from parents worried about children immersing themselves in such a violent world; from politicians, alarmed at the values it encourages; and above all from moral-campaigners, who have fought passionately to stop it.

Grand Theft Auto tells the story of how the game was conceived and created and the subsequent fallout as various groups objected to its violent gameplay.

And I saw this. Looks like he might be leaving BBC and heading to Netflix. That seems to be the cool thing to do these days.
