RICHARD Hammond and James May have returned to their former Top Gear studios – a decade after quitting the BBC series.
The smash-hit motoring show – which was axed last year – was presented by the duo alongside Jeremy Clarkson.
The show became one of the BBC’s biggest money makers with spin-off shows being sold around the world.
All three hosted the show from 2002 until 2015 when they walked away from the format.
After they left, the trio became the faces of Amazon’s motoring show The Grand Tour from 2016 until it ended last year.
But as part of James May’s YouTube series called Planet Gin, he and Richard, 55, returned to Top Gear‘s former studio in Dunsfold Aerodrome.
Reminiscing about their time at the location, the pair admitted their trip down memory lane might be “traumatising”.
James, 62, told viewers: “Well that is the old Top Gear studio. And that is the old Top Gear green room.”
Richard added: “Where we assembled, worked on scripts, had arguments. I feel funny. I feel funny as well. I felt really odd being here.”
The men both reflected on the final time they were at the location before beginning to explore the green room.
Richard said: “The last time I was here, I was leaving after the last studio record.

And I sat up and thought, well, that was that.”
While moving through the various rooms at Top Gear’s abandoned HQ, they almost let slip a secret game they played.
May blurted “And we used to… I don’t know if we can talk about this.”
Hammond simply replied: “We used to play that game.”
