The Grand Tour Special was announced by the company today to be arriving on the service on Friday February 16th 2023. The Official Synopsis reads:
“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.”
The Grand Tour: Sand Job will see the trip 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.
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.
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.”
As for the final Grand Tour special, the trip will be heading to Zimbabwe and the episode is expected to air later this year.
Looking forward to this penultimate adventure with the trio. The Episode arrives February 16th on Prime Video.
