Mixed reviews for the show came from critics, and today Evans has said he's given it his "best shot" on his Twitter account.
He added: "I have never worked with a more committed and driven team than the team I have worked with over the last twelve months.
"I feel like my standing aside is the single best thing I can now do to help the cause. I remain a huge fan of the show, always have been, always will be. I will continue to focus on my radio show and the allied events that it encompasses."
No other presenters have yet commented on whether they'll be returning for a second series, but the BBC have confirmed Evans' news.
In a statement, the network said: "Chris is stepping down from his duties on Top Gear. He says he gave it his best shot doing everything he could to make the show a success. He firmly believes that the right people remain, on both the production team and presenting team to take the show forward and make it the hit we want it to be.
"The new series has so far notched up over 30m views in the UK alone and has already been sold to 130 territories worldwide."
