Amazon has released the first trailer forThe Grand Tourseason 3. Once Jeremy Clarkson was fired from his hosting duties onTop Gearby the BBC, his old pals Richard Hammond and James May departed their long-running gig as well and took their business elsewhere. While Amazon couldn’t call their new showTop Gear,The Grand Tourhas given fans that same feeling and the adventuring and car shenanigans are set to continue in grand fashion next season, according to this new trailer.
The trailer kicks off withRichard Hammondrisking his life on the most precarious looking bridge you’re likely to ever see. So why not drive a huge truck on it? In true-to-form fashion for the beloved hosts, James May and Jeremy Clarkson have a laugh at his expense. We then get a glimpse at all of the amazing locations and cars, both new and old, the guys are going to explore in season 3, all set to the tune of Joe Cocker’s cover ofWith a Little Help from My Friends. Be warned, there are a fewNSFW momentsin the trailer, one of which may or may not involve a giant phallic symbol being drawn in the snow with a car.
This year will see the trio taking on challenges in Detroit and Nevada, in addition to visits to Mongolia and China. Jeremy Clarkson and Abbie Eaton will also be attempting a certain challenge in Sweden involving snow (see previous phallic symbol comment), with James May heading to Scotland, and the guys taking a tour of the Stansted Airport. All of these years later, and they’re still having just as much fun and clearly haven’t run out of things to do.
Top Gearhas struggled a bit in the host department ever since the trio departed the hit series, with Matt LeBlanc leaving after just a few seasons. Meanwhile, Amazon hasenjoyed great successwithThe Grand Tourthrough two seasons so far. Their initial deal with the hosts was for three seasons and 36 episodes. That means, unless they renew the series and negotiate a new deal, this is the last run of episodes on their current contract. But bet on Amazon keeping Clarkson, Hammond and May around for at least a little while longer.
