The BBC has unveiled the full seven-person line-up who will present the new-look Top Gear with Chris Evans.
After revealing Friends actor Matt LeBlanc would host the show last week, former Formula One boss Eddie Jordan was today named as another presenter.
As well as Evans, the duo will join German racing driver Sabine Schmitz, technology journalist Rory Reid and YouTube star Chris Harris.
The team is completed by The Stig, Top Gear's anonymous so-called 'tame racing driver'.
Evans said of his new team: 'We really do have a bit of everything for everyone.
'A fellow lifelong petrolhead from the other side of the pond in Matt; a fearless speed-demon in the irrepressible and effervescent Sabine; the encyclopedic, funny and wonderfully colourful character that is EJ; Chris, one of the world's top no-nonsense car reviewers; and Rory, who simply blew me away in his audition and fully deserves his place on the team.'
Eddie Jordan is an Irish former racing driver and team owner who recently helped present the BBC's coverage of Formula 1.
Eddie Jordan said: 'I'm giddy with excitement to be joining Chris and the team. I have such enormous respect for all my fellow presenters and I politely ask that they go easy on these old bones.
'Cars are in my DNA and although I've been fortunate enough to accomplish most things I ever aspired to in motorsport, presenting Top Gear is quite simply the icing on the cake.'
Evans was brought in to revamp the show last year and will have to try to emulate the affection for former line-up of Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond among the programme's loyal fans.
The trio have signed what is reportedly a lucrative deal and are set to launch their own motoring show on Amazon Prime later this year.
