The globe-trotting trio from Top Gear have been spotted in more places around the world than Waldo himself. Recently, Jeremy Clarkson and James May were spotted in Beijing, China filming a segment for the 18th season of the show and from what the photos are telling us, it appears that the duo - minus Richard Hammond, from what it looks like - have been spending some time in the Far East getting acquainted to some of the locally-produced cars in China.

From what we’ve been told, the duo have a long list of Chinese cars to run around with, including, but not limited to a JAC sedan, a Greatwall Hover M2, a Greatwall Coolbear, a Geely China Dragon, and a BYD F0, among other things.

Those cars really don’t mean that much to us because you’d be hard-pressed to find one running around American soil. Nevertheless, the segment should make for an informative look at the burgeoning Chinese automotive market.

And who better to give us the unfiltered lowdown than Clarkson and May.

Really amazing how the Chinese seem to blatantly copy mainstream manufacturers in their car models. Looking at those images alone I can see a MINI, a Smart and a Vauxhall, albeit what look to be older models, lol. Can't wait for the new series though. Although clearly a lot is staged, it's never short on entertainment!
