The "The Grand Tour" Thread

I'm surprised Top Gear didn't copyright this. They did so with a lot of aspects of the show (for eg, you notice that James hasn't once said, 'Oh Cock!' on TGT?).

Lol. How could they copyright that? Do any of the guys on the new top gear say that?

I watch the E1-4 over the past weekend. I am enjoying Season 2 more than the first. They have adopted some of the nicer bits from Top Gear.

Would someone explain to me what Hammond was trying to do when he crashed? He had just crossed the finish line so why did he accelerate.

No one said he accelerated at the point of the accident, he was doing a hill climb and lost control just after the finish line. As he had just crossed the finish line he would still have been travelling fast.

Just did a quick check now...

James May banned from saying rude catchphrase on new Amazon motor show, The Grand Tour, after ‘string of BBC legal threats’

Mara, he didn't break after crossing the line. he carried on as if he was racing. Check the footage.

Maybe you should check the footage again. He was braking for at least 4 seconds before the crash. The brake lights are already on at 31 seconds.







Look at the marks on the road from braking.

Fundamentally he was driving way to fast for that corner. Why didn't he slow down as soon as he crossed the finish line? Which is what I don't get.

This is my view also. The corner is very sharp, almost a hairpin. Doesnt seem like the best place to have a finish line, or maybe the car was simply too fast and they didnt take it into account

I would agree.

205. Properly good epi overall. The Hammond heads to Dubai segment, like others echoed, has that great TG flavour. May's take on the Up! GTi was top notch. What a cool car! Pity its not coming to SA! I had a ball of a time watching the making of the "Farmkhana" segment. Jezza in brilliant form here.

Also first time we hear gay/possibly gay Abbie speak on camera.

I don't know if Abbie is gay or not, but I'm pretty sure she is a girl so I don't care.

Read the thread earlier on. Its a running gag mate. I don't give a hoot as well.

Somebody was offended that Abbie dared have an LGBT rainbow flag on one of her social media pages (it wasn’t Fiesta) and came over quite homophobic which led to the joke made by Fiesta.

Read back, there’s been a bit of discussion already.

Thank you, must have missed it.

Fantastic episode! No other way to say it.

206. Damn good & such an entertaining episode! Those (many) Jaaaaaaaags were tops & Jaaaaaaaags skiing should be a sport!

Loved it; what a great (GT) challenge with a top TG vibe.
