It’s been a while… I hope you’re well.

I’m creating a new thing with two of the founders of Movember. It’s called The Refuel and is here to celebrate and reward going for a drive with your mates.

Join us for the journey.

My kids never fail to inspire me. Today Ollie will complete his epic challenge. 5 ultra marathons in 5 days climbing the equivalent of to the summit of Mount Everest and down again. An epic achievement by an incredible human for #Movember. Proud

Today is my last day at TopGear.
It has been the most incredible journey, a true honour and huge privilege. I thank you all for your support and friendship over the past 18 years. Wherever your journey takes you, may the road rise to meet you. Grazie TopGear e Forza Ferrari!

Huge congratulations to @Shaggyfranklin @Elliottwebb and the whole TopGear team for scooping Cover of the Year at the PPA’s last night. Voted for by the public and a true testament to their talents.

Our latest issue is out now and to celebrate the https://t.co/Xps2oMJQvQ Electric Awards features a glow in the dark cover. A truly brilliantly treatment by the TG team and strong contender for cover of the year IMHO. Grab your copy this weekend and marvel at its glowing genius

FIRST DRIVE: The Ioniq 5 might look like a 1980s hot hatch mixed with a dash of concept car and a splash of DeLorean, but what we have here is Hyundai’s first completely bespoke EV...

Porsche could’ve run the new GT3 in by jacking it up and putting a brick on the accelerator. Instead, it gave it to @harrismonkey to go the very long way round to a track day. The results are worth a watch. Enjoy. https://t.co/1Pr32xlXO8

Some news. After a truly incredible journey over 18 unforgettable years at TopGear, it’s time for a new challenge and I am delighted to confirm I will take on the new role of Chief Content Officer at Ferrari when I leave the BBC later this summer...

[Charlie Turner @TopGearEditor]

...Huge thanks to everyone past and present for your support over the years and I can’t wait to get to Maranello and start this new adventure. #TopGear #Ferrari

I never had the pleasure of spending much time with RPJ, or being onboard for one of his legendary & fully committed test drives. His mark on our industry was profound and lasting. PH captures the life and impact of a man who will be sorely missed. RIP RPJ https://t.co/YVG7XIIzJY

Grab an Easter egg and see you at 8pm.

[Top Gear @BBC_TopGear]

Jet skis, motorbikes, lycra and the kind of cars generally bought by blokes of a certain age... Must be a midlife crisis in the making.

@PaddyMcGuinness, @harrismonkey and @flintoff11 compete in the #TopGear triathlon. See it tonight at 8pm on @BBCOne and @BBCiPlayer.

[Top Gear @BBC_TopGear]

Some of the most exciting sports cars in history join @harrismonkey - and the new Toyota GR Yaris - at the #TopGear test track for a spot of nostalgia.

Can this new £30k Yaris compete with these rally car classics? Find out tonight at 8pm on @BBCOne and @BBCiPlayer.

[Charlie Turner @TopGearEditor]

@TheDanProsser Agree Dan. Different surfaces at the other races should hopefully deliver better visibility and make it more than a race to the first corner. It’s good to see drivers from different disciplines racing together though.

[Charlie Turner @TopGearEditor]

12hrs and counting... Happy Easter all.

[Top Gear @BBC_TopGear]

Mid-life crisis car or mid-life opportunity? @flintoff11, @harrismonkey and @PaddyMcGuinness take a look at cars bought by men of a certain age going through certain... times.

See the next episode of #TopGear - Sunday 8pm on @BBCOne and @BBCiPlayer.
