The cast for the upcoming season of *[Top Gear](<https://www.autoblog.com/tag/top+gear/>)* might (finally) be falling into place. We already have official word that [Matt LeBlanc brings a famous face](<https://www.autoblog.com/2016/02/04/matt-leblanc-chris-evans-top-gear-official/>) to the show, and a tweet by host Chris Evans suggests veteran auto journalist [Chris Harris](<https://www.autoblog.com/tag/chris+harris/>) could be among the troupe, too. Look at the fourth person on the left in the picture above: that's him.

Harris hasn't actually announced whether or not he's on *Top Gear* yet, but [other rumors also put him](<https://www.autoblog.com/2015/12/23/sabine-schmitz-chris-harris-chris-evans-new-top-gear/>) in the cast. He would certainly be a valuable asset. The *Chris Harris on Cars* series shows he's an engaging host and adept at big slides in high-performance machines. Harris is also a talented writer, which could only help the show.

Beyond Evans, LeBlanc, and possibly Harris, speculation also suggests Nürburgring ace Sabine Schmitz could be a host. Those reports might be accurate because Schmitz was driving an [Audi R8 V10 Plus](<https://www.autoblog.com/audi/r8/>) when [Evans lost his lunch](<https://www.autoblog.com/2016/01/19/top-gear-chris-evans-car-sick-report/>) at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. She has also been a regular guest on *Top Gear* with the previous trio.

*Top Gear* returns to the telly [in the UK on May 8](<https://www.autoblog.com/2015/11/30/chris-evans-reborn-top-gear-get-may-8-uk-debut/>) for a 16-episode season. It's too soon to know about a US premiere, but *Autoblog* will keep you posted.
