The Grand Tour has got a launch date and a new trailer!

There's been a few teasers for the former Top Gear hosts' forthcoming Amazon Prime show released over the last month or so, but none with anything in them to warrant sharing.

This one makes the cut on account of footage of them actually driving actual cars.  Fast ones at that, on a track!  

But the best bit is how it tells us the first episode will be aired November 18th, which really isn't far away at all.





It's gonna be ace!

This looks really good, loved Top Gear. Before that ginger prick took over and drove it (ba dum tsh) into the ground with one short series. Annoyingly i don't have Amazon Prime and i'm now extremly tempted to get it so i don't miss this or not forced to wait for if it ever reaches regular channels.

There was a report by one of the producers saying that Dave or another channel may end up getting the rights to show it on TV, that will probably be in a year or so which will be frustrating. Im considering getting Amazon prime too, but the one problem is with the new show...its not a box set, you have to wait each week for it to put on Amazon.

Unless my personal circumstances change I won't be getting Amazon Prime so will be praying a channel picks it up and we can see it maybe early in the new year, shame the BBC proved to be gutless and financed paedophiles but would not swallow their massive pride and get the 3 guys back instead of employing shouty Evans, and now they are paying the price by losing viewers and a massive amount of money! ROFL

I hear it was a good first show. I don't have this Amazon stick, so I'm hoping someone puts it on youtube or something.
Apparently the opening sequence alone cost 3 million quid.

As I couldn't watch it, I found the old Sports Relief show Top Gear did a few years ago in Steve Redgrave's garden, and watched that instead. still funny. Top Garden Ground Gear Force. Though looking back at it now, it looks suspiciously like Jezza's garden.



Edit: success, I found it on a streaming site, just finished watching it. Brilliant show.

After seeing ep 2, I've had a couple of thoughts.
I'm not convinced they really are filming in a tent. The big window behind them looks like it may be a giant tv screen made to look like a window, hence the dead celeb sequences they can watch 'through' it.
Also, what is the point of going to a country and not using the location. The first show was in a US desert but most of the show took place in Portugal and the UK.
The show in South Africa was mostly about a long film done in Jordan.

There were some funny bits in it, and the picture quality of the filming looks good. Not so much about cars this week, but they did admit to that in the first show when saying what was coming up, I imagine it will even out over the series.

yeh im thinking they are just claiming they are going location to location but they could claim that with the screens behind them and make it look like they are changing location, i dunno ive only watched one episode, with no real restrictions from the bbc, i would have thought it would have been a bit more different however i suppose its better than the current top gear lol

Richard Hammond has been up to his old tricks again, almost managed to kill himself, for the second time, while filming a stunt in Switzerland, for the second series of The Grand Tour, he rolled a car, which burst into flames, he had to be airlifted to hospital, where he had surgery on a broken knee(OUCH), so filming has been thrown up in the air, with Hammond being unable to drive for the foreseeable, so they've had to re-write scripts, to have Jeremy & James filming instead
