BBC is teasing a new series of ‘Top Gear’ starring the rally racer and Hoonigans honcho Ken Block and promising that series 25 is “coming soon.”

Block plays a police officer (with a Los Angeles Police Department badge, no less) in an off-road 4×4 vehicle in the 30-second clip, jumping off obstacles and tearing through dirt in an industrial area near snow-capped mountains. He gives chase to show hosts Matt LeBlanc, in a yellow Ford Mustang, Rory Reid and Chris Harris, who steers a McLaren 570S. It looks like they’re having more fun that the rest of us.

LeBlanc has said the next season of episodes will aim to attract a younger, more diverse audience with more comedy. Series 25 is expected to launch in spring, perhaps after the wrap-up of the second season of ‘The Grand Tour.’
