UK publication Radio Times is reporting the new-look Top Gear will miss a May 8th premiere and will now start airing on Sunday 22nd May.
It also claims eight episodes have now been cut to six because filming is behind schedule.
It’s not the first time stories of production problems have swirled around the ambitious new series.
Radio Times also claims that executive producer Lisa Clark leaving the show after just five months has also thrown the production into “a certain amount of disarray.”
A BBC spokesperson said: “We never confirm scheduling details this far out and we won’t be for Top Gear. We’ve always said we were working towards a May transmission for Top Gear and further detail on the transmission date and series structure will follow nearer the time.”

They are reporting that chris evans is the one that caused the delay but in any emoloyment situation if the manager leaves, things get delayed until a replacement is found. It was probably Lisa that caused the delay.
Yes. No on-screen talent has ever caused a production delay.
This must be so upsetting for millions of Top Gear fans. Then again, maybe not.
Na, Top Gear fans think this is all very Funny. We’re just waiting for the new “actual” top gear the boys are doing. Don’t give a rats about this one.
This has got car crash TV written all over it
I see what you did there.
Anyone else dizzy from all that spin by the BBC?
