That's a great picture. The asian dude is crying, the white guy is checking tinder (or a photo he took).

After months of deliberation and lots of useful suggestions from the public, for which the guys are very grateful, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May have decided that, because they are taking their new Amazon Prime Show around the world, it will be called The Grand Tour.

Not only will the guys travel to different locations, but for the first time ever the studio audience recordings will travel every week, all housed within a giant tent. Amazon customers will have the chance to be in the audience when tickets are released through prize draws this summer.

So this is both the new CHM show and the shit top gear show thread?

With the announcement of the show premiering in fall and them not even starting to give out audience tickets until summer, I'm assuming this will be a weekly release and not a Netflix style binge release?

They finally announced the name so now we can ditch discussion on the top gear thread and shitpost over here til the show comes out.

They've already said it will be a weekly release in one of the earlier press interviews.

Oh I missed that, thank god

Xarpolis · May 11, 2016

First, just to make it official.

"The Grand Tour", I honestly really like the name. Can't fucking wait, any update on release? Haven't really looked into it much.

spronk · May 31, 2016

anyone catch the new season of BBC Top Gear with Chris Evans and LeBlanc? Pretty meh, Evans looks like a ginger pedophile who has no idea whats inside a car and fawned over Matt way too much. Cringe-y segments with almost zero car minutiae and zero chemistry between the two hosts in all the segments. Matt does drive well though in the desert segment, probably the only interesting bit of the episode.

Hope they can make the show work but the premiere was a giant turd

Chris · May 31, 2016

I kept thinking at every point "Why aren't there 3 presenters like before? This would be better at all points with the German racing driver also here". Just have her be super competent while LeBlanc and Evans try to screw each over for 2nd place, imagine her racing the German version of the WW2 jeep, that's be fucking awesome and so unPC even Clarkson would think twice.

It was... ok... Evans was fine and LeBlanc was too subdued. They can build on this but they really need a 3rd person to play off.

I live not too far from Blackpool, it's embarrassing how shit it is. It's our version of Vegas complete with fake Eiffel Tower (build 100 years ago through, so Vegas is probably your version of Blackpool haha).

nah, vegas doesnt wait for shit to get old, they demolish buildings and build new ones if they last 20 years. place is under perpetual casino construction.

and i was gonna watch this show just so i could legit slam it, but i.... just... dont... give... a.... fuck...

Very crappy 1st episode. there is no substance between LeBlanc and Evans as of yet and I do not see it really ever occurring. Seeing this turd-sandwich this is making me more excited for the 'The Grand Tour' as all the prior hosts build off one another.

i keep thinking they chose The Grand Tour as an acronym which could also stand for Top Gear Two

I've seen some speculation like that. Have also heard "Top Gear Trio"

Chanur · May 31, 2016

I assumed it was in reference to GT Grand Tourer.

Grimmlokk · Jun 1, 2016

It really was clunky and unentertaining. Especially the studio part with Evans hosting.

You basically described American TG. Which is all "challenges". Every single time actual driving skill is involved Tanner Foust wins easily. Unless they hamfistedly handicap him somehow or his car breaks.

It's...not the worst thing on TV. But it relies a lot on the hosts having some chemistry, which they do a bit, and on them having some acting ability because everything is sooooo staged. I can't see Evans and Schmidt pulling that off.

The best part was LeBlanc playing to the camera a little bit. Like when Evans slipped in the mud. But that's such a small thing.

Gamma Rays · Jun 4, 2016

Yeah I just watched the episode . . . it just felt they got the host mixture & equation wrong. Perhaps they felt that they needed to break from the 3 host format. But then it felt 'understaffed' especially during the location segments.

Plus the two personalities were too different. LeBlanc was doing a subdued character ( and he seemed to be in character - not just being natural ) whereas Evans was more of a chirpy guy and perhaps was trying harder than he needed too.

A few of the segments felt gimmicky, Viper and Corvette with laser guns ( barely modified Browning 50 Cal machineguns ) plus plastic rockets, chasing each other. Plus the 'out-run the papparazzi' with scripted / setup gags.

I know the old show would do that too, I think I would let it slide, as they did enough genuine stuff to allow the occasional half baked ideas.

Oh I did like that the celebs are now driving more of a race-car on a rally-cross lap.

I still will give this new show a few more watchings . . . just to see.
