Three presenters, a rotating list of exotic filming locations, and an unapologetic love of cars: that's the formula behind The Grand Tour, the studio-free follow-up built around the trio best known for reinventing car television.
What is The Grand Tour about?
The Grand Tour follows Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May as they travel to a different part of the world for each series of episodes, setting up a temporary open-air tent as their studio wherever they land. From there, the show mixes studio banter, celebrity interviews, and staged challenges with extended segments testing new and classic cars from manufacturers around the globe, often pushing vehicles to their limits across whatever terrain the location offers. The travelling-tent format is the show's signature: rather than a fixed London studio, the audience and the presenters relocate together, which lets the series pair its car content with the landscape of wherever it's currently based. It's built as an ongoing series rather than a single story, so each episode largely stands on its own.
About the cast
The show is presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, the same three hosts who built their reputations together on car television before bringing that chemistry here, with Andy Wilman directing. Their established rapport — Clarkson's provocations, Hammond's game willingness to take the physical risks, and May's more measured, detail-oriented counterpoint — is the engine that keeps the format running from location to location.
Context & significance
The Grand Tour sits in the comedy and talk-show space rather than straight motoring journalism, using cars as the excuse for banter, competition, and travel rather than as the sole subject. Its touring format — a new base country for each series, complete with its own studio tent and a local guest-driving segment — sets it apart from most car shows, which tend to stay anchored to one studio and one country's roads. The show also leans on segments built around a mystery in-house test driver and celebrity guest interviews conducted between the car content, giving it a variety-show rhythm rather than a strictly technical one. It's part of a small class of programming that treats the automobile as a lens for travel and comedy as much as for engineering.
