The Grand Tour: Ex-Top Gear hosts' new show starts on Nov 18

View Forum Discussion

The ex-Top Gear trio of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May will soon be back with their new show - The Grand Tour. This show will be starting on November 18, 2016. It will be aired every Friday, exclusively on Amazon Prime.

The Grand Tour was born after Jeremy Clarkson - Top Gear's lead presenter, was fired after allegedly punching a show producer, Oisin Tymon. The other two hosts, Richard Hammond and James May, decided to leave the show as they believed in working as a team. May was even vocal about the importance of chemistry between the trio, something that was touted as the backbone of Top Gear's popularity.

Eventually, the trio got into an agreement with Amazon Prime for a three season show named The Grand Tour. They were also joined by Top Gear's Chief Producer, Andy Wilman, who was often referred to as the brain behind the popular motor show.

After months of planning, show structuring, and shooting, Amazon Prime has finally revealed a teaser of the show, announcing the launch date. The teaser shows snippets of various pre-recorded episodes, including a track clip that appears to be the much awaited comparison between the Ferrari LaFerrari, the McLaren P1, and the Porsche 918 Spyder.
