The Wheeler Dealers fan-favorite mechanic and inventor has been pointing followers toward a new project connected to Richard Hammond, the longtime Top Gear and The Grand Tour star — and it’s all happening under Hammond’s newly launched motoring hub, The DriveTribe Collective.
What Is the “New Project”?
Richard Hammond announced The DriveTribe Collective as a new version of DriveTribe, hosted on the subscription platform Scribehound, launching December 1, 2025.
The concept is designed as a home for motoring culture, conversation, and car-obsessed community — a place where fans can follow creators, join discussions, and tune into talk-driven content rather than just short clips.
Where Edd China Fits In
Edd China has told fans they can find him in a new place through the DriveTribe Collective, putting him back into Hammond’s wider DriveTribe orbit.
And this isn’t just a quiet “name on a list” situation. Edd has also promoted livestream-style conversations tied to the project, suggesting he’s actively involved in the on-camera, discussion-heavy side — the kind of format where Edd’s practical, no-nonsense explanations really shine.
What Fans Can Expect
From Hammond’s launch messaging, the DriveTribe Collective is built around three main ideas:
-
Information: original writing and viewpoints
-
Connection: livestreamed conversations, behind-the-scenes access, podcasts, and interactive discussion
-
Celebration: the fun side of cars, motorsport moments, and the machines people genuinely love
In other words, it’s not being framed as one single episode or a one-off appearance. It’s more like an ongoing platform project — with Edd participating as part of the creator lineup.
Why This Collaboration Feels Like a Big Deal
For longtime car-TV fans, Edd and Hammond bring two different strengths:
Edd is the hands-on engineer who breaks down the “how,” making complicated mechanical work feel understandable. Hammond is the presenter who knows how to keep the conversation moving, ask the right questions, and pull out the best stories.
Put them together in a livestream-and-community format, and it’s a recipe for smart car talk, strong opinions, and the kind of casual chemistry viewers tend to love.

The Bottom Line
Edd China hasn’t described this as a traditional new TV show with Richard Hammond. But he has revealed a new, ongoing project tied directly to Hammond’s DriveTribe Collective — a creator-and-community platform where Edd is participating in content and public conversations.
If you paste the exact post or caption you saw, I can tailor this into a tighter, more dramatic People-style version that matches the wording and focuses on the specific “reveal” moment you want to highlight.
