Get ready for a rollercoaster ride as the motoring maestros wrap up seven years on Amazon Prime with a spectacular final special in the heart of Zimbabwe.
The journey has reached its zenith as Jeremy Clarkson, the dynamic 63-year-old, James May, the seasoned 60-year-old, and the ever-thrilling Richard Hammond, 52, make a triumphant return from the wild landscapes of Zimbabwe. Brace yourselves because the grand finale of The Grand Tour, set to grace screens next year, promises to be nothing short of a motoring masterpiece, as reported by BBC News.
These inseparable amigos have shared two decades of camaraderie. Back in 2003, they first teamed up as presenters on the adrenaline-packed Top Gear. Fast forward to 2015, and Clarkson's abrupt departure from the show due to a fiery clash with a producer seemed to mark the end of an era. But hold your horsepower—2016 witnessed their triumphant reunion with The Grand Tour. After three glorious seasons, 2019 ushered in a new era as the show evolved from a weekly broadcast to a series of mind-blowing specials, with two feature-length episodes gracing screens each year. Alas, the curtain is set to fall on this thrilling chapter.
For fans of both The Grand Tour and Top Gear, it's been a month of bittersweet farewells. Top Gear, too, recently announced a hiatus from the spotlight.
In a candid revelation on the Today podcast last week, James May shared his thoughts on the need for a Top Gear makeover.
"My honest view is—I can say this now—it does need a bit of a rethink," May candidly expressed. "It's time for a new format and a fresh perspective because the subject hasn't been this captivating, I suspect, since the invention of the car."
Fret not, aficionados of Clarkson, May, and Hammond! While The Grand Tour might be reaching its climax, there's still a feast of entertainment awaiting you. Clarkson enthusiasts can dive into the delightful Clarkson's Farm series, poised to cultivate excitement for at least two more seasons. Meanwhile, May aficionados can explore his captivating Our Man In . . . series. Nevertheless, as The Grand Tour takes its final bow, it marks the end of a glorious era in automotive entertainment. Gear up for the last ride!
