Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May have given their biggest hint yet that they're off to US giant Netflix.

On the first night of the

, the presenters finally steered fans in the right direction.

During the live show Jeremy told the audience that they'd found a new channel.

Clarkson - who was sacked earlier this year following a “fracas” with a producer - then refused to name who it was.

It has been reported that Richard then nearly told the 15,000 strong audience but was stopped by his fellow presenters, and then teased over the American accent.

Clackson then joked: “You’re not in America.”

Richard replied: “Not yet,” to a stream of audience laughter.

The Sun also report that the show ended with a 007-style clip that features highlights of Jeremy's departure from the BBC.

The stars were dealt a blow last month after it was revealed the trio would not be able to make a Top Gear-style show on ITV until 2017.

So where will they go in the States?

Netflix

Let's start with the favourite. Bookmakers Paddy Power previously said the US on-demand online streaming service was their 6/4 favourite to be the home of Clarkson, May and Hammond's new motoring show.

Clarkson himself has even previously confirmed he's been in talks with some US giants about a new programme, although he didn't mention Netflix by name.

In June, he admitted he had even curbed his drinking to ensure he was compos mentis when said US giants give him a call.

He said: “While I try to find a new job, I’ve reassessed my drinking strategy.

“Californians have a habit of ringing at 11pm and I couldn’t think as straight as they do with their leaves and mineral water existence if I was halfway through my third bottle of Léoube.”

Hulu

Hu-who? Yep, you may not be streaming Orange is the New Black on it, but Hulu is another big US service who Clarkson could've been referring to when he spoke about being in talks with an American brand.

Amazon

Another State company likely to be vying for Clarkson, Hammond and May's services. And why not?

It is clearly determined to go up against the likes of Netflix and Hulu in the battle of the streaming services and if Clarkson and co don't fancy waiting around for ITV then this could be a quick fix to fill their motoring show desires.
