Where is The Grand Tour filmed?
The studio segments of series two were filmed in a tent in the Cotswolds, conveniently close to Jeremy Clarkson’s house.
How do I get tickets to the live tour dates?
Tickets for the live tour dates, which are taking place in October and November this year, were released on Amazon on in early October, with applications ending on the 12th. They are not currently available through official means.
However, you can keep an eye on The Grand Tour’s official Facebook page – where the tickets will be released if there are any left to be snapped up.
What is The Grand Tour Game?
The big news for the the new season is that there is going to be an accompanying game, as introduced by James May and Richard Hammond, half-naked from a pool in the Youtube video below.
“Basically, you can be us,” James May says. “All the challenges and experiences we’ve had, only this time, you’re driving.”
It comes equipped with four-player split-screen, meaning fans will be able to face-off against one another, and it will be released in episodic format on Playstation 4 and Xbox One from the beginning of series 3.
And there’s also a gameplay trailer, which you can check out below.
What is going to happen in series 3?
While information on the new episodes have been scarce thus far, there have been some minor announcements in the last few months that can give us an idea of what to expect.
Back in June, Amazon released a picture of Jeremy Clarkson dressed as a mustachioed traffic warden while filming series 3, so we know there’ll be some unusual cosplay involved…
On top of this, producer Andy Wilman did debut some footage from the series at the Amazon Prime Video’s European showcase event in London at the beginning of October, which featured a clip of unlikely guest star Mary Beard, who was seen in conversation with Jeremy Clarkson.
Wilman also disclosed that the trio had been filming in China, Colombia, the USA, Mongolia, Azerbaijan and Georgia ahead of the beginning of studio recordings, which will take place in the Cotswolds. They’ve also been using their own test-track, fondly known by the trio as the “Eboladrome” because of its resemblance to the shape of the Ebola virus.
He added that they felt they had to “live up to” the name The Grand Tour, and that he is “quietly confident about this one” – so we’re expecting big things.
How can I watch seasons 1 and 2 of The Grand Tour?
Seasons 1 and 2 of The Grand Tour are available to watch now on Amazon Prime Video. If you don’t already have Prime, you can access it now with a 30-day free trial.
