Top Gear has reportedly announced the two names who will be co-hosting alongside Chris Evans in the revamped show - and you might be surprised.

Instead of going for seasoned TV presenters, the show has allegedly opted for general knowledge on the subject and gone for a couple of experts.

The Telegraph reports that German racing driver Sabine Schmitz and motoring journalist Chris Harris will be joining the series, following Jeremy Clarkson's axe earlier this year.

Also joining the panel is former Formula One star David Coulthard, according to The Sun.

Schmitz previously appeared on Top Gear in 2004 with Jeremy Clarkson.

The series has been rocked by a couple of high-profile exits - most recently executive producer Lisa Clark who left just five months after being appointed.

Elsewhere, former hosts Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond's new motoring series will air on Amazon with a reported budget of £160 million.

The series returns to screens in May 5, 2016.
