new grand tour episode release date

"The Grand Tour" to return for farewell episode in 2024

C larkson, Hammond, and May are set to officially bid farewell to their program, "The Grand Tour," broadcast on Amazon, as reported by the BBC.

There's good news and bad news for fans. Good news: "The Grand Tour" will return in 2024. Bad news: this will be its final episode. The trio, who rose to fame through the BBC's "Top Gear," have continued their antics on "The Grand Tour," which has been available on Amazon since 2016.

While the initial seasons of "The Grand Tour" boasted a similar number of episodes to its predecessor “Top Gear," the series has recently been limited to sporadically published special productions. It appears that this was the beginning of the end for "The Grand Tour".

According to the BBC, which cited internal sources, a  special episode documenting a trip to Zimbabwe will be released in 2024 , marking the official end of "The Grand Tour".

Despite saying goodbye to "The Grand Tour," it doesn't mean that this popular trio will completely vanish from our screen. Each presenter has their own shows on Amazon's platform. As of now, these productions are set to continue.

It's worth noting that "Top Gear," the precursor to "The Grand Tour," is also seeing its end. Following Clarkson, May, and Hammond's departure, the BBC carried on with the series, introducing new presenters. However, this came to a halt in 2022, when one presenter, Freddie Flintoff, sustained serious injuries in an on-set incident. Nearly a year following the accident, the broadcaster announced its decision to discontinue the program.

The Grand Tour: Sand Job

“ The Grand Tour ” penultimate special has set a premiere date for later this month.

“The Grand Tour: Sand Job,” which sees Jeremy Clarkson , Richard Hammond and James May reunite in Africa, is set to land on Amazon Prime Video on Feb. 16.

“In the remote African country of Mauritania, our trio follow in the footsteps of the legendary Paris-Dakar rally,” reads the logline. “Instead of bespoke Dakar racers, the boys must complete their journey in cheap modified sports cars. Their journey begins with the world’s longest train and sees them tackle the killer Sahara and perilous river crossings, whilst protecting their precious fuel bowser from exploding.”

The show’s fifth and final special recently wrapped in Zimbabwe. It is set to launch next year.

Clarkson, whose farming show “Clarkson’s Farm” will continue at Prime Video, has said he decided to take a step back from the automotive series because it is “immensely physical” and he feels “unfit and fat and old.”

“I’ve driven cars higher than anyone else and further north than anyone else,” Clarkson told The Times. “We’ve done everything you can do with a car. When we had meetings about what to do next, people just threw their arms in the air.”

Clarkson, who was widely criticized for a column about Meghan Markle, will next be seen hosting a new series of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?,” which premieres Jan. 28 on ITV1.

For their penultimate adventure, Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond are off to Africa and it'll no doubt be an outing to remember.

The Grand Tour: Sand Job will see the trio head to the remote African country of Mauritania, where they follow in the footsteps of the Paris-Dakar rally – but, of course, there is a twist.

The group must complete their journey in cheap modified sports cars instead of bespoke Dakar racers, beginning with the world's longest train.

Battling scorching temperatures and unforgiving sand terrain, filming this special was a true test for both the presenters and their cars.

The episode will be available to watch on Prime Video on Friday 16th February , and comes after the news that Jeremy Clarkson has made the decision to quit the series .

In an interview with The Times , Clarkson explained that his reason for leaving the show was largely down to having already "done everything you can do" when it comes to cars.

He said: "I've driven cars higher than anyone else and further north than anyone else. We’ve done everything you can do with a car. When we had meetings about what to do next, people just threw their arms in the air."

The Grand Tour: Sand Job — release date, trailer, destinations, interviews and everything we know

The Grand Tour: Sand Job on Prime Video sees Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May head to the Sahara to recreate the legendary Paris-Dakar rally.

The Grand Tour: Sand Job on Prime Video follows the route of the famous Paris/Dakar rally.

The Grand Tour: Sand Job is Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May’s penultimate Grand Tour adventure on Prime Video. In this feature-length special the trio drive 1,000 miles across the Sahara Desert in north west Africa. 

They will attempt to recreate the last leg of the iconic Paris-Dakar rally, starting in the little-known former French colony of Mauritania in west Africa and ending in Dakar, on the coast of Senegal. It was known as the most dangerous rally in the world and, to make the challenge even harder, the trio will make the arduous trip in second-hand sports cars they have modified themselves. They face impenetrable mountain terrain, 48C heat, landmines and temperamental cars that look unlikely to make it to the finish line, but they make sure there’s plenty of fun to be had along the way. 

“I think we all wondered if it was going to be a little bit too difficult for the cars that we’d chosen,” admits James May. “The Paris-Dakar race was a very gruelling thing. I've never been quite sure why people did it because it must have been really tough and quite risky. The people who did it have a sort of mad hero status.” 

Here’s everything you need to know about the former Top Gear team's own version of the rally in Prime Video documentary The Grand Tour: Sand Job …

The Grand Tour: Sand Job.

The Grand Tour: Sand Job release date

The Grand Tour: Sand Job is a feature-length special that launched globally on Prime Video on Friday, February 16, 2024. 

Is there a trailer for The Grand Tour: Sand Job? 

Yes there's a trailer for The Grand Tour: Sand Job which shows the boys doing what they love best... playing about in cars, in a remote part of the world! Take a look below...

What happens in The Grand Tour: Sand Job 

in The Grand Tour: Sand Job , Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond are taking second-hand sports cars they have modified themselves on a grueling drive from Mauritania in western Africa to Dakar, Senegal to recreate the final 1,000 miles of the legendary Paris-Dakar rally. They will be driving through a Foreign Office classified danger "red-zone" and facing everything from vertical drops and unreachable borders to landmines and the threat of hideous diseases. They plan to do some camping along the way and try to cram in as much motoring fun as possible. 

They'll be camping in dangerous territory.

Interview with Richard Hammond on The Grand Tour: Sand Job

Richard Hammond also presents shows such as Richard Hammond’s Workshop , Richard Hammond’s Crazy Contraptions and The Great Escapists . He presented Total Wipeout and Blast Lab and voiced Nigel in the cartoon Phineas and Ferb .  

You like camping, so filming The Grand Tour: Sand Job must have been heaven for you?  Richard Hammond says: "I’m such a boy scout. I'm never happier than when I'm packing my bag and I'm wrapping up my best pen knife and a collapsible stove and a little bag to put things in to keep them dry. I like a sleeping bag and a torch. I love all things to do with camping. Obviously, there are a lot of us to be catered for and we can’t just be let loose into the wild. It’s organised. But there were evenings when it was quieter and things were smaller, and I was in my funny little tent on my car on my own and I'm very, very happy doing that."

Did you also look forward to the challenge of driving across the desert?  Richard says: "I mean, I love an Aston Martin, I love long travel suspension, and I love the way a car can adapt to and absorb terrain. Honestly, I can be moved close to tears if I get into a proper Dakar racer. To feel the way the car is, in almost an animal way, adjusting to the terrain underneath: I find that really powerful and really profound. I love the freedom that it gives you. To look across the landscape and say: I want to go over there really bloody quickly, and I’m going to, thanks to this machine. So yes, I was very excited by this project."

Your car was rather challenging on this journey, wasn’t it? Richard says: "There was the odd issue. It turns out an elderly V12 engine isn’t the best place to start when you want a rugged machine for crossing deserts. A Toyota Landcruiser is where people ordinarily go, not a hand-built, British-engineered luxury GT. I did ask quite a lot of my car. The problem with my car, as you see in the special, is that it came from an era just as the whole idea of computers running the show was taking hold. So, cars were becoming clever but mine hadn't become quite clever enough. It would have been better to have had something earlier or later. Mine was exactly the wrong period when it thought it was clever, but it wasn’t." 

What was the issue?  Richard says: "So, the car had a brain, it had sensors all over, and those sensors would occasionally feedback to the brain to say, 'Oh no, there's a problem'. This might be with the exhaust, brakes, the steering, suspension, all manner of things. And the sensors all report back into the brain along these wires. Occasionally, there might be a legitimate problem and the sensors would tell the brain and say, 'You solve the problem', and then the brain would say, 'Okay, we're all fixed we can all go on together'. But my God, occasionally it was the sensors that were the problem. So, the car would be working fine but the sensor would be screaming 'My gearbox is broken!”'and the brain thinks it’s broken so it only gives me one gear to work with, but the gearbox is actually fine. So, it was a massive miscommunication: one big argument going on in the car between all the different parts. As far as the brain was concerned, everything that could go wrong with the car had gone wrong, even though it hadn’t." 

What did you do to fix it?  Richard says: "Well I tried screaming at it and saying, 'There’s no problem, shut up', but unfortunately that didn’t work. So ultimately, after driving in one gear, I had to wait until we had Wi-Fi, get a laptop out, and then interrogate the brain. I had to essentially use the computer to say to the car, 'It’s okay. Calm down.' It became neurotic. I think it had too much sun. You set off and think everything’s fine and then the next thing you know it's in a panic about its gearbox again." 

You had a problem with overheating too...   Richard says: "Yes. I had fitted underbody protection which was a good idea because we were going through rough terrain and the delicate parts of the car would need protecting from rocks and everything else. What I hadn’t foreseen is that this massive V12 engine, which is normally open underneath, was now covered by a big bash plate which kept hot air in. I was cooking my own engine, basically. It was a constant battle between leaving it open to damage or closing it in and making it overheat."

Did you quite enjoy the challenge, though?  Richard says: "Yeah, look, I’m a guy with some degree of mechanical sympathy, I run a garage and I’m interested in the way cars work. I’m scared of the computer side of things though. It’s like plastering: it’s a dark art. But to plug it into the diagnostics and fix it was quite satisfying. I love problem solving in a physical way. We love taking cars on journeys they weren’t built to do because that’s when they really develop personalities and, boy, did mine ever do that." 

Did you mind being left behind by the others when your gears weren’t working?  Richard says: "Well, it wasn’t as bad as Madagascar. There’s always going to be one of us. You can’t possibly know which one it’s going to be, but that’s okay. If you’re doing anything with mates and you’re the one having the more 'exciting' time, shall we say, that’s alright." 

Tell us about the visit to the Ambassador’s house...  Richard says: "It was fabulous! I want to go back. It’s one of my favourite places I’ve ever been. The Ambassador’s friends thought he was going to Mauritius when he got the job because they’d never heard of Mauritania – I mean, who has? But it was the most wonderful, characterful place full of lovely people. The Ambassador turned to me at one stage and said, 'In a minute, one of the chaps serving us is going to call me Excellency and if you laugh, I shall kick you.' I did laugh, of course I did." 

You couldn’t drink alcohol in Mauritania. What was your first beer like when you got over the border? Richard says: "Well, I think it’s quite known that we like a beer. So, I’d say immense relief. It was almost needed on a cellular level. I was worried that my cells would forget how to connect if I didn't get a beer. I worried that because having a beer was all I could think of my atoms would forget to be bonded together in the right order and I might just turn into a cloud and vanish." 

The film ends with you on the beach where the Paris-Dakar race finishes. What was that like? Richard says: "That was in Senegal but most of the film was spent in Mauritania — It’s a spectacular place. It’s four times the size of the UK but with hardly any people. It’s so big, so empty, and breath-taking. We never go anywhere that's not nice to look at, but this really was a bit special." 

What did the history of the Paris-Dakar race mean to you in that moment?  Richard says: "A hell of a lot. I mean, it was legendary. If you’re into cars, you're going to be aware of the Paris-Dakar in its heyday, because the machinery, scenery, and what they did was incredible. So yeah, it meant a lot to drive in that same space. It was really exhilarating."

Is this a special that will appeal to the proper petrol heads amongst your fans?  Richard says: "I think this special treads that path that we've travelled very carefully which is that you don't have to be a car nerd to watch the show because we do that for you. That's been our motto, spoken and unspoken, for all of the years we’ve done it because it's in our blood, it’s in our hearts and you can see it. I think it does look beautiful. We’ve gone somewhere that people don't get to go to, and it’s fabulous to put that on screen for people. Cajoling an Aston Martin across a massive desert is a unique experience, so from my point of view this was a huge reminder of how lucky we are to get to go and have an adventure like that. I hope people enjoy it. I think it's a fine example of the nonsense that we enjoy getting up to." 

Can you tease anything about the next special?  Richard says: "There are some familiar places, and it was a joy to be in Zimbabwe after so many years. We always have a great time in Africa. Zimbabwe was just unbelievable." 

The Grand Tour: Sand Job on Prime Video follws the route of the famous Paris/Dakar rally.

Interview with James May on The Grand Tour: Sand Job

As well as Top Gear and The Grand Tour , James May is known for his travelogue James May: Our Man In… He’s also presented James May: Oh Cook! , James May: The Reassembler , James May’s Man Lab and Oz, and James’ Big Wine Adventure, with Oz Clarke. .  

Tell us about the car you chose for The Grand Tour: Sand Job… James May says: "Well, I have much better taste and judgement than the other two so my car, the Maserati, was definitely the best looking. And it worked pretty well for the whole route, actually, proving that you don't need to spend £200,000 on a rally car. I think my budget was about £30,000." 

Was it quite nice not being the one that was left behind, for a change?  James says: "I think it was long overdue, because I've been left behind in quite a few other things due to poor choices. Especially Eurocrash, that car was just so dreadful. So yes, it was quite gratifying and also slightly surprising because, of all those cars, you’d expect the Maserati to be the unreliable one; they do have a bit of a reputation for fragility. I mean, Aston Martins aren’t brilliant in that respect, but Hammond’s was just a disaster from the start. I knew it. I have a sixth sense about these things. When we buy those cars, I can stand near them, and I know if they're trouble."

What mistake do you think Hammond made in choosing his car?  James says: "I think it's just frank stupidity. There are sophisticated electronics in all modern cars which can go wrong, and small faults can be quite difficult to fix if you haven't got the right diagnostic equipment, which generally you don't have in the middle of a desert. So, the generous reply would be that it was just bad luck, but I prefer the response that it was due to uselessness." 

Is this a special for petrol heads?  James says: "It’s certainly a bit more car-y than some other ones. We sort of alternate between car-y ones and more travel/sitcom ones. Eurocrash was not very car-y, but the French one was about car history, for example, and I’d say on that scale, this one leans towards being quite car-y. All three cars that we drove are interesting. They're all desirable cars, at least in their original form, and the idea of modelling a car and racing them across a desert is quite appealing to a lot of people." 

You seemed to enjoy getting the cars off the train at the start of the journey… James says: "Yes, there were several things that I thought were exciting. One was that I was allowed to drive the shunter to manoeuvre the trucks, which I've always wanted to do, and that was great. Then we got my car off with planks, and I drove it very precariously and heroically, which is why they cut that bit out. Then we had to get the other two cars off with the telehandler which Jeremy is now an expert at because of his farming. He will always tell you he’s useless at anything practical, but he did that very well. It was great fun. I’m openly into that engineering nerdy stuff and I don't mind admitting it. Hammond is too: obviously he now runs a car repair centre and he’s done other shows in the past that have an engineering element. So, we do like it." 

Did you enjoy being in the desert?  James says: "We actually all quite like being in a desert. We like the dust and the sand and the heat. It's exhausting, but it's all the things that T.E. Lawrence talked about, he said “the desert cleans you and it’s pure”, and I think that’s true. We all slightly get off on that and we feel like we're being really heroic and manly." 

You did go for quite a T.E. Lawrence look with your headscarves…   James says: "Yeah, that was partly because it is incredibly hot. It's even hotter than I've experienced in India, and I thought that was the hottest I was ever going to be, so you actually do need to protect yourself. In that portion of the day, between one and four o'clock in the afternoon where supposedly only Mad Dogs and Englishmen go out, the locals generally hide inside. So, if you are outside, you have to cover up, or you'd be burned to a crisp, and you’d get sunstroke and go mad." 

Did you get dehydrated?   James says: "We did go a few days without a proper wee, and I'm someone who likes to urinate freely. I mean, not in my trousers, but I don't like to hold it in. When we did wee it sort of came out as dust. 

How did you feel about camping?   James says: "It’s awful. I mean, you don't really have much choice because it's a pretty empty country. All the bits we were in had no hotels or anything. Since the sixties I think there have only been fifty filming permits or so. So, we had to camp." 

How did you cope with the heat and the dust?  James says: "I find it quite exciting when it gets very hot and very dusty. I've always been neurotic about dust in the home and actually I don't like dust in my own car, but somehow when you do those desert drives, it's nice that everything gets covered in dust and you get covered in dust and it sort of dries your hands and sticks in your hair." 

Did you enjoy going to the British Ambassador’s house?  James says: "It was fantastic. He even had Ferrero Rocher: I didn’t actually think they were real. I thought there was one pyramid in existence, and they got moved around the world for photoshoots and filming, but he really did have them. Which is weird because they're not a British thing, are they? Aren’t they from Austria or Switzerland or something? I suppose an Ambassador is just expected to have them. But yes, it was wonderful and surreal. He’s got this rather lovely house with a nice garden." 

What was your first beer like when you got over the border?  James says: "It was nice. Jeremy was pontificating about how you're supposed to admire the condensation and savour the moment which I think is just because he was trying to do a covert advert for his own beer. Whereas I just think oh, it's a beer and I've been waiting for it for several weeks, so I’ll drink it and look at the lovely view instead of the beer." 

What was it like finishing the journey on the same beach as the Paris-Dakar race?  James says: "Driving on sand features in some of the greatest things we've done over the years. Back when we did the Namibia special in the beach buggies, I had a fantastic sunset drive across the dunes on my own because I'd been left behind as usual while I stopped to do something to my car, and that was fabulous as well. It’s the same reason anybody likes going to the beach: I suppose there's something quite primeval about it. You're at the edge of the land. It's unspoiled and there's nothing there apart from a few elements: water, sky and sand. It just appeals to something in humans and so yes, it was terrific."

What did the history of the Paris-Dakar race mean to you in that moment?  James says: "That was a massive thing when I first started working on car magazines back in the early nineties. It used to get a lot of coverage as it's a very gruelling thing." 

How would you summarise Sand Job? James says: "We tend to be a bit optimistic and we tend to push complications to one side and hope that somebody will deal with them. So, I was quite pleased that it ended up being a good adventure. It's a very long special because there's a lot of material. We always tell ourselves we don't actually need to do 1200 miles or whatever, because we have enough adventure in 200 miles to make a special. But we still go back and do 1200 miles, because either we like it or we're a bit stupid."

Interview with Jeremy Clarkson on The Grand Tour: Sand Job

Jeremy Clarkson is best known for Top Gear , in which he starred alongside Richard Hammond and James May from 2002 to 2015. He also presented shows like Jeremy Clarkson’s Extreme Machines, Motorworld and Clarkson: Unleashed on Cars . More recently Jeremy has fronted Clarkson’s Farm , Who Wants to be a Millionaire and It’s Clarkson on TV .

How did you feel about doing this show in Mauritania?  Jeremy Clarkson says: "I love deserts so I've always wanted to do the Sahara, but it’s difficult to go there; you can't go to Mali or Libya or Algeria or Chad. You can't go to the top of Nigeria. And then it was really a question of finding the most inappropriate cars for trans-Sahara travel, and I think we did a pretty good job on that."

Tell us about your car... Jeremy says: "The Jaguar F-Type V6 Supercharged VS. Well put it like this: it was so impressive, I came home and bought one immediately. And I don’t think Hammond bought an Aston Martin afterwards. The other two made unwise choices, as usual. The Jaguar was so tough and so unbreakable. I discovered something interesting: Jaguar has a reputation for making flimsy cars, cars that fall to pieces, it has this reputation for unreliability, so I couldn't understand why my car was so capable. I did some checking, and it turns out that at the time this car was made, Jaguar Land Rover – which is one company – had one test that a car had to pass before it could go on sale which is all to do with mounting curbs at high speed and running over potholes and biffing into things. And the test was designed for the Range Rover, but the Jaguar had to pass the same test. So, they are extraordinarily strong. I cannot lavish enough praise on that car. I brought back the one I drove in Mauritania too, I have it at the farm. 

You mentioned the other two making unwise choices. Can you expand on that?  Jeremy says: "Well, Hammond in particular had constant issues. It started off being funny and then it became annoying because it was relentlessly unreliable. His was as unreliable as mine was reliable."

This film put you to the test in all sorts of ways. You had to get your cars off a train, and then drive them across a body of water… Jeremy says: "Yes, and we attached snowmobiles to the front of the Jag to try and even out the road surface. It’s potty engineering, an idiotic idea but it worked. The funny thing with the cars on the train is that we thought it would be a bit like what happened in Bolivia when they arrived on a barge, and it took us ten days to get them off. We thought we'd have the same problems in Mauritania, but we found an old telehandler loader like the ones we use on farms and, now that I'm a farmer, I was able to get them off quite easily. For once I did something properly."

What was the heat like?  Jeremy says: "You know, the funny thing is you don't get filthy in a desert. It's a very strange thing but sand is incredibly clean. We’ve experienced this in the Atacama and the Gobi and the Nomad and all the places we've driven over the years. You don't get dirty. But it was bloody tough. We drank litres and litres of water, and we didn’t pee. I mean, I don't know where it was going. Hammond said after three or four days, “I’m going to have a pee” and I suddenly thought, “I haven't had a pee this whole time.” When people go to see the Northern Lights, for example, they boast that it was minus 30 and you think "No, it wasn’t, it was minus six” or they say it was 50 degrees somewhere hot and you go, “No, it was maybe 38 in the midday sun.” Well, this really was 50 degrees in the shade. You never see the locals during the day, ever. We hardly saw anybody at all but if we did occasionally encounter a small village, it would have maybe six or seven huts and everyone would be inside them all day. They venture out only after the sun has set because it's so hot. Camping is always ghastly but when you're in the middle of the Sahara Desert, you have no alternative. There are no hotels, there are no guest houses or even restaurants or shops. It's very much the opposite of, say, Luxembourg."

You did see civilisation when you went to the Ambassador’s house. Did he really have a tray of Ferrero Rocher? Jeremy says: "I don’t think they were put there for us. I certainly didn’t see anybody putting those Ferrero Rocher chocolates there. We were sitting on the sofa when he went off to make us a cup of tea and I went to take a look and somehow, I managed to break his decoration. That was really funny. That's probably my favourite scene in the entire show actually. I don’t know if you’ve ever been in a British Embassy anywhere, but they are amazing. I remember in the middle of the Iraq war in 2002 I went out to Baghdad to cover it for the Sunday Times. They pick you up from the airport in an armoured Land Rover with helicopter cover and so on, then we got to the British Embassy, and they had people in the gardens doing topiary. I mean, it was beautifully manicured lawns, fountains, Country Life magazines spread out on all the tables. It was astonishing. And it was the same in Mauritania: you drive through the desert where people are selling sand to one another and suddenly there is this swimming pool, manicured lawns, elegant surroundings, beautiful furniture. It’s fantastic. If ever you're absolutely desperate, in any country, head straight to the British Embassy." 

They didn’t give you a beer, though. How was your first beer when you finally got over the border? Jeremy says: "Well, it wasn’t a Hawkstone [Jeremy’s own beer] so it was disgusting. I mean, as an alternative beer goes, it was very welcome. But I like to savour a beer before I drink it. Those two just plunged in, but I like to look at it and then see what the anticipation of a cold beer feels like after however many days in a dry country."

What was it like to drive on the famous beach from the Paris-Dakar race?  Jeremy says: "I love travelling on beaches. I've done it in New Zealand and Wales and now Western Africa. It's just a wonderful thing to do. It would have been fun anyway but the most important thing about that drive was that we were re-enacting what they used to do at the end of the Paris-Dakar rally, and we always used to see these amazing pieces of film of the camera helicopters chasing the cars down the beach as they came into Dakar for the finish of this epic rally from Paris. It was beautiful, it was a lovely day and I had Seven Seconds on the stereo as well which is that Senegalese song, which was nice." 

You seemed to enjoy each other’s company very much, as usual.  Jeremy says: "It was honestly hilarious. Hammond’s Aston endlessly breaking down was very funny. Listen, when we do these things, it is a laugh from start to finish. We know what we're doing and we do enjoy one another's company. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been doing it for twenty-five years. It was tremendous. It was a big laugh. The fact it’s the longest special we've ever made testifies to how good it is because there’s very little you’d want to throw away. It’s all exciting, good stuff." 

Can you tease us about the final one?  Jeremy says: "It’s my favourite one we’ve ever done. I've always thought we'd never go anywhere better than Botswana, and now we have."

The Grand Tour's next episode has a release date and trailer

It's called A Massive Hunt, and takes the presenters to Madagascar

The Grand Tour

The Grand Tour's next episode is coming to Amazon Prime Video on December 18, it's been confirmed. The Grand Tour Presents: A Massive Hunt takes hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond to Madagascar – and Amazon has accompanied the news with a brand new trailer, which you can see below.

By the time this new episode drops, it will have been a year since the last episode, The Grand Tour Presents: Seamen. This new episode completed filming before the pandemic hit, so it's been a long time coming. This episode reportedly features the presenters getting marooned on a remote island, among other antics, so you have that to look forward to.

Here's the trailer:

This current series of the Amazon Prime Video show is all going to be themed specials, with the next planned to film in Russia. How soon that will be possible, though, is something of a mystery.

Still, it's good news for fans who have been waiting all year for this one.

We wouldn't be surprised to see another year-long or more wait for a new episode of the show, unless Clarkson and company drastically change their plans on how they plan to make it. The challenges of filming a TV show abroad right now are extensive. 

Amazon's last statement on the Russia-set episode came in July. You can read that below:

Clarkson, Hammond, and May’s Grand Tour Tenure Is Coming to an End

The Grand Tour’s end comes just weeks after the BBC indefinitely shut down Top Gear.

NicoDeMattia

The old Top Gear trio of Jeremy Clarkson , Richard Hammond, and James May will be hitting your screen as the hosts of The Grand Tour for the final time in 2024. The two final episodes have now been filmed, taking place in Mauritania and Zimbabwe, where the trio we've grown to love will close a chapter that's been three decades in the making.

“We’re done. I have reviewed cars on TV since 1989. That’s 34 years. And after next year, I won’t be doing that any more," Clarkson told The Times .

Since The Grand Tour launched in 2016, after Clarkson was fired from Top Gear for punching a producer, it's gone through several changes. First, it was essentially a Top Gear recreation, with celebrity interviews and an in-studio live show. Then they tightened it up by ditching the celebrity stuff. Eventually, they ditched the live show altogether and just made feature-length specials. And while none of The Grand Tour's iterations managed to capture the magic of Top Gear at its best , it was still one of the most watched shows on Amazon Prime . Millions of people tuned in to watch the automotive equivalent of the Three Stooges (and I mean that as a grand compliment).

<em>Getty</em>

All three hosts have their own projects to pursue outside of The Grand Tour anyway. Clarkson has his farm show and May has a travel show, both of which are also on Amazon Prime , while Hammond still does a lot of work for DriveTribe , while also presenting other TV programs. So they'll still be around, even though The Grand Tour won't be.

This news also comes just a couple of weeks after the BBC decided to indefinitely shut down Top Gear . After host Freddie Flintoff's accident during filming and the subsequent settlement, the BBC decided against renewing the show. Clarkson doesn't blame the most recent trio of Top Gear hosts for not wanting to return, either, specifically Flintoff.

"Richard Hammond was always keen to get back to work [following a crash], whereas Freddie isn’t," Clarkson told The Sun . "I don’t blame him. I know what happened on that awful day and it was horrific."

<em>Getty</em>

Clarkson even said that anyone who wants to take over in Flintoff's spot would come across as "heartless."

In a matter of weeks, the world learned that the two most entertaining car shows on TV are shutting down. We all knew this day was coming soon, as the original Top Gear gang are all either in their sixties or getting quite close, but it's still a little sad to see them go. Sure, their most recent work pales in comparison to the shows from their prime but, like most millennial car nerds, Clarkson, Hammond, and May made an indelible impression on me and the way I look at cars, and I'm sure I'm not alone on that one. Thanks for the memories, chaps.

The grand tour season 4: release date, number of episodes, cars, locations.

After a full year, The Grand Tour will return from its hiatus, and fans of the popular show are ecstatic. The fun starts on December 18.

The wait is finally over as Amazon's popular series The Grand Tour has produced an actual date for season 4's return, although the show may be unleashing a second tease on its cult following. Former Top Gear  legends Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May (Captain Slow) are coming back on December 18.

Fans have been teased with The Grand Tour season 4 before. The Grand Tour Presents... Seamen  released on December 13, 2019, meaning the technical episode 2 for season 4 will air over a year later. Now, that is a tease! The Seamen episode featured the classic trio trading their clutch-pushing legs for sea legs and followed them on a boating adventure of epic proportions. They took a voyage from Siem Reap, Cambodia to Vung Tau, Vietnam. Of course, it featured all of the teams' usual fun antics. In its description on Amazon, it was labeled as "the first of a series of feature-length specials ." What happened, and why has it been so long since another release?

The second episode (or feature-length special, teaser, or whatever fans would like to call it) is airing on Amazon Prime on December 18, 2020, which means there is something good to cap off this brutal year. This special will take the team to Madagascar, where they will hunt for pirate treasure and modify vehicles for sandy, wet, and rainforest environments. Viewers will be thrilled to finally get a chance to hang out with the three best friends. However, they may have to hold onto that enjoyment for quite some time. The December 18 episode is called,  The Grand Tour Presents: A Massive Hunt . See the official trailer below :

Coronavirus has been a hot topic these days, and its reach has shut down everything, from bars and shops to the entertainment industry, even in the UK. This means that even though the team has been as careful as can be (they created a socially-distanced bubble "family"), they will be unable to film  The Grand Tour season 4 episode 3. The trio was set to go to Russia but that trip has been postponed, rather than cancelled. James May has also confirmed that there is a Scotland special which has already been filmed. The car enthusiast said:  “We’ve already filmed one for next year which is our recent Scotland adventure, so I would hope we could do another one next year but it’s slightly out of our control. It depends what happens with all the COVID stuff. But I’m confident we’ll be able to film another one, so two will come out in 2021!”

This begs the question, what is the future of The Grand Tour ? Most individuals would be fine with the comedic gold that comes from this happy little trio traveling. Others may be upset if specials are all the show offers since they typically don't review fancy cars when they do challenges. One thing on every fan's mind is whether the traditional idea of seasons is ending. With James May's comment, it seems that the team's intention is to release a new episode or special once a year. It's ideal for the cast, as they get to explore the world and do what they love, but bad news for fans who have to suffer a full 365 days with no new content. Fingers crossed that this episode is enough to tide viewers over.

Cargo ship pilots involved in Baltimore bridge collapse to be interviewed

When will the grand tour: sand job be released in the uk, clarkson, may and hammond’s rough-and-ready road trips near their end.

  • Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Jeremy Clarkson , Richard Hammond and James May return for The Grand Tour : Sand Job, a special new episode of the trio’s popular motorsport programme due to air on Prime Video .

Debuting in 2016, The Grand Tour was conceived after a much-publicised scuffle resulted in Clarkson leaving the BBC and its popular car magazine show Top Gear . His fellow co-hosts Hammond and May quickly followed suit and before the engine of their previous show had time to cool, the threesome had been snapped up by Prime Video and production for The Grand Tour was underway.

Initially, The Grand Tour followed a similar format to its BBC predecessor, with Clarkson, Hammond and May reviewing cars, engaging with a live audience in a hangar-type space and embarking on various car-related quests. This changed after the show’s third series, with its remaining episodes instead sending its presenters on various racing adventures worldwide which were later released as a series of specials.

With the show nearing the finishing line, we now have details of the first of its final special episodes. Here’s everything we know about The Grand Tour: Sand Job.

When will The Grand Tour: Sand Job be released?

The Grand Tour: Sand Job will debut on Friday, 16 February on Prime Video.

Is there a trailer for The Grand Tour: Sand Job?

A trailer has now been revealed for The Grand Tour: Sand Job, which teases the long and difficult journey that Clarkson, Hammond and May go on in order to complete the Paris-Dakar race themselves.

The trailer shows some of the hurdles that the trio face along the way, including Hammond's Aston Martin struggling in the desert terrain and breaking down in multiple ways — like his air conditioning turning off. But there are a number of funny moments too in the trailer, showing that the penultimate Grand Tour special will be one that will delight viewers.

Watch the trailer for The Grand Tour: Sand Job:

What happens in the grand tour: sand job.

The Grand Tour: Sand Job will take Clarkson, Hammond and May on a new trip to the African country of Mauritania where the hosts must replicate the famous Paris to Dakar rally.

However, like all of their TV treks, there’s a catch.

“Instead of bespoke Dakar racers, the boys must complete their journey in cheap modified sports cars,” explains the show’s official synopsis. “Their journey begins with the world’s longest train and sees them tackle the killer Sahara and perilous river crossings whilst protecting their precious fuel bowser from exploding.”

This special episode of The Grand Tour will see the trio forced to endure red-hot temperatures and harsh sand terrane to finish a challenge that Prime Video has described as “a true test for both the presenters and their cars.”

Is The Grand Tour: Sand Job the last episode of season 5?

No. The Grand Tour: Sand Job is not the final episode of season 5 - it’s the penultimate show.

The final episode of The Grand Tour season 5 will debut later in 2024 but a concrete release date has yet to be pinned down. All we know is that it will take Clarkson, Hammond and May to Zimbabwe.

The decision to end the series comes after Clarkson admitted that producers behind the show had run out of ideas about where to send them.

"I’ve driven cars higher than anyone else and further north than anyone else. We’ve done everything you can do with a car,” Clarkson told The Times . "When we had meetings about what to do next, people just threw their arms in the air."

The Grand Tour: Sand Job will be released on Friday, 16 February on Prime Video.

Jeremy Clarkson ‘risks explosion’ in penultimate The Grand Tour special

The Grand Tour: Sand Job, Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond

The Grand Tour may be coming to an end but Jeremy Clarkson , Richard Hammond and James May have a few challenges ahead of them.

The trio, who first hit our screens together in 2003 on Top Gear , announced in November that their Amazon Prime series The Grand Tour was coming to an end.

Their final two specials, filmed in Mauritania and in Zimbabwe, will air later this year, with the first launching on February 16.

But hopefully, they’ll be going out without a bang.

Clarkson, May and Hammond reunite in Mauritania to follow in the footsteps of the legendary Paris-Dakar rally.

But instead of bespoke Dakar racers, they’ll be completing their journey in cheap modified sports cars.

Their journey begins with the world’s longest train and sees them tackle the killer Sahara and perilous river crossings whilst protecting their precious fuel bowser from exploding.

The Grand Tour: Sand Job, Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond

As if that wasn’t challenging enough, they’ll be battling scorching temperatures and unforgiving sand terrain on the way.

A first look at their West African journey, titled The Grand Tour: Sand Job, has also dropped, which sees the trio taking on the challenges.

According to MailOnline, Clarkson opts for a Jaguar V6, Hammond takes on an Aston Martin Volante V12 and May goes for a Maserati all deliver along the country’s only railway line.

It’s also said they not only are up against the natural forces, but also extract themselves from a minefield.

The Grand Tour: Sand Job, Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond

This comes after Clarkson admitted he’s too ‘unfit and fat and old’ for filming some parts of the programme, which has run from 2016.

The Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? host said: ‘I’ve driven cars higher than anyone else and further north than anyone else.

‘We’ve done everything you can do with a car.

‘When we had meetings about what to do next, people just threw their arms in the air.’

He continued to  The Times  that the show ‘is immensely physical and when you’re unfit and fat and old, which I am,’ making some parts like camping, a stretch.

Jeremy Clarkson

Addressing any rumours about feuds with his co-stars, he added: ‘We’ve spent more time in each other’s company than our families’ over the last 25 years so I don’t think it would have lasted as long as it did if we’d hated each other as much as James likes to think.’

‘They do as they’re told,’ he added.

Clarkson’s comments echo May saying  he thinks the time is right for a brand new motoring show  to take the place of Top Gear and The Grand Tour, because the trio are ‘too old’.

Late last year, the  BBC  officially made the decision to  ‘rest’ Top Gear for the ‘foreseeable future’ , after Freddie Flintoff’s horror crash in December 2022.

Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May

‘If you wanted to make a serious, slightly more consumerish car show there’s never been a better time for it because it’s a very interesting topic,’ James told The Sun.

‘What is going to happen to the car, car ownership, attitudes to the car, how we use it, dispose of it, how we power it?

‘It’s all interesting stuff, it’s the most interesting time in the car’s history since it was invented. So I can’t believe somewhere or other, a slightly more modern car show won’t emerge.

‘But we can’t do it as we’re too old.’

The Grand Tour is available to watch on Prime Video , with a new special launching on Friday, February 16 .

Everything We Know About The Next Grand Tour Episode: A 2,000KM European Road Trip

The Grand Tour released its latest episode , The Scandi Flick, to hugely positive reviews, and now fans of Jeremy Clarkson , Richard Hammond, and James May are eager to know when the next episode will air and what it will involve.

Three months ago, The Grand Tour team returned from Europe after a long stint of filming. Travelling from Poland to Slovenia, the trio drove 2,000km to bring us what looks to be the best episode so far.

With the latest episode now over and fans revelling in the memories, I thought I’d explore everything we know about the upcoming European special from the cars they drive, to the planes they fly.

Table of Contents

Where and Where Did They Start Filming?

Gdansk, poland.

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Grand Tour Nation (@grandtournation)

Clarkson, Hammond, and May left from Oxford International Airport on June 19th on a private jet. They landed in Gdansk , Poland soon after, where their journey began.

Here, they joined their three cars, a Chevrolet SSR, a Crosley Convertible, and a Mitsuoka Le-Seyde which they took to Długia Street. According to Google Maps, this is completely pedestrianised, but according to local reports, the filming was done under secrecy with not even the local law enforcement knowing about the team and their plans.

This area is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the city leading from the Golden Gate to Długi Targ square. It looks like the trio drove the length of this, as well as around the post-shipyard areas, the port, and Westerplatte.

This is where our assumptions begin. Gdansk is home to where the first gunshots of World War II were shot, and this theme continues to a few of the locations the team travels to later in the week of filming.

Before they left the city, a hot rod based on a 1959 Ford Popular was also spotted. This will become more prevalent later on.

Did The Grand Tour Travel to Ukraine?

It was a couple of days into filming where fans started wondering if The Grand Tour was heading to Ukraine . As we know, Jeremy has been very passionate about supporting the people of Ukraine since the war with Russia started, so at this point it wasn’t such a stretch, especially when Jeremy showed his support of driving armoured vehicles into the country on Twitter.

@JeremyClarkson quick pitch: You and the fellas outfit a few armored recon vehicles and race to #Ukraine #UkraineRussianWar — patrick rickard (@RatrickPickard) March 25, 2022

As we now know, the team didn’t make it to Ukraine. Instead, they traveled South-West.

Zielona Gora – The Grand Tour Visits Vineyards

We followed the trio as they traveled to Zielona Gora, a city in the Lubusz province of the country. It’s known for its endless vineyards so it wouldn’t be a surprise if we see Clarkson, Hammond and May tasting some wine at this point of the episode.

It also has connections to WWII, with it being reported that 30% of the city had been damaged by the Germans.

Richard Hammond Crashes At Tor Poznań Racetrack

Continuing West, the trio were spotted at a racetrack. I did some investigation work and figures out that this was the Tor Poznań racetrack in the city of Poznan. The track almost became part of the F1 calendar in the ’80s thanks to its connection to Polish F1 driver Robert Kubica, but this never came to fruition.

This didn’t stop Clarkson, Hammond and May from driving some open-wheeled race cars around the track. As you heard, Richard Hammond lived up to his antics and crashed into a barrier . He was unhurt but the car sustained a little front-end damage. According to our sources, this was caused by the engine seizing. Hammond was seen next to the wreck in a racing suit with May stood next to him looking a bit disappointed in his fellow presenter.

Judging from a photo of Jeremy with a stop watch hung around his neck, it looks like they were doing timed laps here.

James May Breaks Down

As the trio headed from Poznan to Lower Silesia, Hammond’s bad luck was passed to James May as his Crosley broke down . We don’t know what happened to the car, but it was pushed onto the back of a trailer as May waited for a replacement.

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by FAN ACCOUNT-I’M NOT RH (@richard_hammond_tr)

What was that replacement? The hot rod, of course.

The Grand Tour Visits a German Concentration Camp

Next stop: Jeremy posted a photo to his Instagram account of Stalag Luft 3, a German concentration camp in the town of town of Sagan, Lower Silesia. This continues the WWII theme and should act as a sobering moment in the episode. Around this time the team also visited Krakow.

Leaving The Country and Entering Slovakia

After a brief drive through Czechia, the trio was seen driving through Slovakia, the country where there are the most cars produced per capita. Here they visited Patak Motors who showed the presenters their car, the Roadster.

Jeremy Clarkson Drives The Skoda 1100 OHC Spider

Still in Slovakia, Jeremy gets into the driver’s seat of a Skoda 1100 OHC Spider , which he describes as “absolutely fantastic”, at Piešťany Airport. At the same time, James May was spotted driving the KleinVision AirCar .

The Road To The Finale

The trio continue their travels through Bratislava where they go cycling by the Danube River before continuing to Hungary, and eventually Slovenia.

Slovenia, The Final Destination Of The Grand Tour European Special

Here, Clarkson and Hammond were spotted on Lake Bled without May in the northwest of Slovenia in the Julian Alps. Again, we don’t quite know what they were doing, but they were seen rowing a boat onto the lake before Hammond stood up, rocking the boat.

Despite this being an incredibly popular area for tourists, barely any footage from around the area was taken which is a shame.

Jeremy Clarkson On The Release Date Of The European Special In Interview

Soon after, Clarkson and Hammond were interviewed by Radio 1 Slovenia in what seemed to be the most awkward interview I’ve ever watched , but Jeremy gives a brief outline of the trip.

He describes it as a “2,200 kilometer drive from Gdansk at the top of Poland. All the way down to Krakow, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and then here.” He then admits that it’ll be six months before we see the episode on Amazon Prime.

The Grand Tour Filming Comes To An End

A day later, a video was posted by Jeremy of the team celebrating the two weeks of filming coming to an end. Jeremy, Richard, and James were joined by what looked to be the whole team, as well as producer Andy Wilman playing air guitar.

It looks like lots of fun was had, as well as lots of gin.

Producer Andy Wilman on The Episode

“It’s richer, there’s more to do. Russia is barren, so you can’t find as much nonsense to do,” Wilman said in an interview with Grand Tour Nation and other press.

“An ice lake with a racetrack on it, the skiers, those kinds of things that we did in this film, that wasn’t going to come our way in Russia, so it did give us more content being where we were.

“Submarine base tunnels? With the best will in the world, I can’t imagine the Russians going, ‘Yes, help yourselves’, so it did come good on that front.”

Richard Hammond On the Episode

“I think it worked out even better,” he said in an interview with Grand Tour Nation and other press.

“We sort of revelled in the landscape more. We know that part of the world, we’ve filmed there before, so to connect those places up was great.

“Scandinavia is one of those places we’ve returned to many times over the years, like South Africa, Australia, and bits of Germany. Some places that just ‘get’ us, and always have.”

Clarkson, Hammond, And May Have Filmed Their Last Grand Tour Episode

The trio's final grand tour episode will be a special in zimbabwe that will premiere in 2024..

Clarkson, Hammond, And May

Good news:  The Grand Tour with Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May returns in 2024 with a special set in Zimbabwe. Bad news: This is reportedly the final episode of the show with the three iconic hosts, according to the BBC .

This might not be the end of The Grand Tour , though. "The BBC understands options are being explored for a new incarnation of the show," the news agency reports .

The Grand Tour: Eurocrash

The Grand Tour premiered in November 2016 on Amazon Prime. Initially, it had a very similar format to the hosts' iteration of Top Gear,  presented in segments for each episode. Later, the program transitioned to making longer specials featuring adventures in places like Scotland , France , Norway , and Central Europe .   

Rumors first arose regarding  The Grand Tour's  demise in January 2023 . Amazon Prime allegedly decided not to renew the show and the  Clarkson's Farm program beyond their current contracts following Clarkson making controversial comments about Meghan Markle in December 2022.

The news about Clarkson, Hammond, and May leaving The Grand Tour  comes shortly after the BBC canceled the Top Gear TV show for the foreseeable future . The broadcaster said it was "resting the show," suggesting the program could eventually return.

Top Gear 's cancellation followed a filming crash involving host Freddie Flintoff in December 2022 in which First-aid rescuers had to airlift him to a hospital. The BBC reached a settlement with the former professional cricketer that was allegedly worth the equivalent of $11.3 million (9 million pounds).

Jeremy Clarkson Meghan Markle controversy

The-Grand-Tour-Season-5.-Episode-3-Release

Jeremy Clarkson, known for his work on The Grand Tour , Clarkson’s Farm , and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? , found himself at the center of a storm following a column he wrote for The Sun. In this column, he expressed his hatred for Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, in strong and offensive terms. The backlash was immediate and widespread, leading to an investigation by the press regulator and sparking a debate about freedom of speech, responsibility, and the treatment of women in the media.

The Controversial Column

In his column, Clarkson stated that he “hated [Meghan] on a cellular level” and described a violent fantasy involving her being paraded naked through the streets while being pelted with excrement. The language used was widely criticized, and the column received over 6,000 official complaints (via BBC ). Clarkson’s daughter, Emily, publicly denounced her father’s words, and several celebrities and public figures also condemned the article.

The Backlash and Apology

Public reaction.

The reaction to Clarkson’s column was swift and severe. More than 25,100 complaints were lodged with the Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso), making it the most complained-about article ever. Many called for Clarkson to be fired or even charged with a hate crime.

Clarkson’s Apology

About a month after the article was published, Clarkson offered an apology, stating that he was “profoundly sorry” and describing his language as “disgraceful”. He explained that he had been referring to a “Game of Thrones” scene but had failed to mention it in the article. The Sun also apologized and removed the article from its website.

Potential Impact on The Grand Tour

Amazon’s response.

While Clarkson continues to host Who Wants to Be a Millionaire on ITV, there have been reports that Amazon may part ways with him . A virtual press event for Clarkson’s Farm was canceled, adding to the speculation.

The Future of The Grand Tour

The controversy could have lasting effects on Clarkson’s career and the future of The Grand Tour . The public’s perception of Clarkson may change, and Amazon’s decision on whether to continue working with him could influence the direction of the show.

Jeremy Clarkson’s comments on Meghan Markle have ignited a firestorm of criticism, leading to an investigation by the press regulator and casting a shadow over his professional future. The situation raises important questions about the responsibility of public figures and the media in their treatment of individuals, especially women. The potential impact on The Grand Tour remains to be seen, but the controversy serves as a stark reminder of the power of words and the importance of using them wisely.

Final Thoughts on The Grand Tour Season 5 Episode 3 on Prime Video

The Grand Tour Season 5 Episode 3 is shaping up to be another exciting instalment in the beloved series. With Jeremy Clarkson , James May , and Richard Hammond at the helm, fans can look forward to more stunning locations, thrilling challenges, and the trademark humour that has made the show a global hit.
