Farewell to Grand Tour Presenters After 22 Years

The final episode of Amazon Prime Video's The Grand Tour, titled "One for the Road," is set to evoke strong emotions as hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May prepare to part ways after 22 years of camaraderie. The special will be available for streaming on September 13, marking the end of an era for the beloved trio known for their adventurous automotive escapades. In this poignant farewell, the hosts will embark on a journey across Zimbabwe, driving cars they have long desired, including a Lancia Montecarlo, a three-litre Ford Capri, and a Triumph Stag. This nostalgic road trip is expected to resonate with fans, as it encapsulates the spirit of their shared experiences over the years. The episode will culminate in a heartfelt goodbye on Botswana’s Kubu Island, a significant location for the trio, as it was the site of the first Top Gear special aired by the BBC in 2007. Clarkson has previously described Kubu Island as “just about the most astonishing place I’ve ever been,” adding to the emotional weight of the farewell. Andy Wilman, the executive producer behind both The Grand Tour and Top Gear, has played a pivotal role in shaping the shows. As the series concludes, fans are left to reflect on the legacy of Clarkson, Hammond, and May, who have entertained millions with their unique blend of humor and automotive passion.
