Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May head to Africa for the bittersweet finale of their hit Amazon series
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are embarking on their final Grand Tour adventure as the hit Amazon series comes to an end. Available to stream later this month, The Grand Tour: One for the Road will see the former Top Gear hosts bid an emotional farewell to their lives together after 22 years.
The last-ever special sees the trio head to Zimbabwe for a stunning road trip through beautiful and often challenging landscapes, leading to an emotional ending on a strangely familiar island. As per the official synopsis, One for the Road will see Clarkson, Hammond and May journey through the country in three glorious cars they’ve always wanted to own; a 1982 Lancia Montecarlo, a 1974 Ford Capri 3-litre and a 1974 Triumph Stag.
There, they embark on a classic road trip through some of the most stunning landscapes they’ve ever encountered, winding through lush mountains, spearing across dry planes, cruising down beautiful boulevards, breezing past elephants and giraffes and taking their chances crossing a crocodile-infested lake on three unusual car-carrying boats. The Grand Tour has been another big hit for both Amazon and its hosts since launching in 2016.

Across five seasons, Clarkson, Hammond and May have travelled to 41 countries in 187 cars, with previous episodes in the final instalment taking them to the Sahara, Scandinavia and Central Europe. On why now felt like the right time to call it a day, Clarkson explained he is simply ‘worn out’ by the demands of the show.
“I’ve done enough of the travel, I was worn out by it,” he said. “I’m too old. It’s a young man’s game.
“The other thing is that if we were to sit down and ask, ‘Where next?’ well, we’ve been everywhere. We’ve done everything you can realistically do with a car and the world has shrunk and that’s the tragedy. The world is a much more troubled place than it was 20 years ago.”
