He left the BBC's hit motoring show Top Gear this summer, following in the footsteps of Jeremy Clarkson.

But James May is set to make his television come-back in a brand new motoring show, Building Cars Live, which will be aired on BBC2.

Moving on from the fracas that saw Jeremy leave Top Gear, followed shortly by the 52-year-old and fellow co-presenter Richard Hammond, James will return to the BBC as the star of the new project.

Back in business: James May is set to make his return to television in a brand new motoring show, Building Cars Live, which will be aired on BBC2

Taking a look inside the inner workings of the car industry, the new two-part show will see the presenter step inside the Oxford BMW Mini plant.

Split into two 90 minute-long episodes, James - known to the nation affectionately as Captain Slow - will be joined by car designer Ant Anstead and BBC stalwart Kate Humble.

Exploring life inside on a modern car production floor, the programme will delve inside the futuristic world of a car plant, and will show how a new car is built every 67 seconds.

The two episodes will also focus on the global history of car-making, focusing on everything from the labour intensive production line at the turn of the 20th Century to how robots are changing the industry.

Keeping things strictly topical, James simply said of his return to the BBC: 'I can't wait to build a car. Live.'

BBC Two controller, Kim Shillinglaw, added: 'Broadcasting live from the car factory is a really exciting way to reveal the science, engineering and expertise behind the cars on our roads.'

The announcement comes just days after James, Jeremy and Richard revealed that they had begun filming their new Amazon Prime motoring show.

Getting behind the wheel of a £1.1million Ferrari LaFerrari, James went head-to-head with Jeremy in McLaren P1 and Richard in a Porsche 918 Spyder - which cost around £1million respectively.

Climbing behind the wheels of the cars the trio were seen on racing around a track - believed to be the Algarve International Circuit in Portimaou, Portugal - on Wednesday to start filming.

Earlier on in the day Jeremy had treated his followers to a teaser of what they could expect in the (as of yet) untitled show, by posting a picture of the trio and their cars on Twitter.

Standing alongside his co-stars, James and Richard, the 55-year-old shows off a fleet of expensive cars in front of a crowd and a couple of lorries.

He captioned the image with the words: 'With a skeleton crew, filming for Amazon Prime's new motoring programme has begun.'

Building Cars Live will air on BBC2 later this autumn.
