Ben Collins and Izzy Hammond added to DriveTribe presenting team

Ben Collins and Izzy Hammond have joined Mike Fernie and Richard Hammond as permanent presenters for DriveTribe.

Former Top Gear Stig Collins has appeared in several videos with Fernie in the last year which have proved to be successful, garnering over 1.6 million views and 30 million impressions. Reminiscing over old Top Gear stories and talking in depth about a variety of cars, Collins’ knowledge of the automotive industry has proved to be a vital asset for the channel going forward.

Collins said, “I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with the DriveTribe team in various capacities for many years, and I’m thrilled to deepen my connections with them as a permanent presenter on the channel”

Izzy Hammond's first DriveTribe video in October 2023, where she went off-roading with father Richard in a Ram TRX, has amassed over 4 million views and 53 million impressions. It is hoped that her unique perspective on the industry will bring a different angle to the channel.

Izzy Hammond commented, “I’m thrilled to bring a unique perspective to the DriveTribe channel. It’s exciting to engage with a diverse audience, especially those who may not be deeply knowledgeable about cars”.

DriveTribe releases regular content on its YouTube channel as well as bonus content on its second channel, More DriveTribe.
