As the sun sets on an iconic era, car enthusiasts around the globe are bracing for an emotional farewell. The Grand Tour, which has been a beacon of automotive entertainment, is about to air its final episode. Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond have captivated millions of viewers for over two decades with their unparalleled wit and passion for cars. Now, the trio is gearing up for one last adventure together in “One for the Road,” premiering on September 13 on Amazon Prime.
In this highly anticipated finale, the trio will traverse Zimbabwe in cars they’ve always dreamed of owning. Clarkson will be behind the wheel of a Lancia Montecarlo, Hammond will take on the terrain in a Ford Capri 3.0-liter, and May will pilot a Triumph Stag. While the teaser doesn’t reveal much in terms of on-road action, it beautifully highlights the camaraderie and humor that have endeared these hosts to audiences worldwide.

The Grand Tour has been a staple in our lives since its debut in 2016, following the trio’s departure from BBC’s Top Gear. Clarkson, who played a pivotal role in reviving Top Gear in the early 2000s, was joined by May in 2003, and together with Hammond, they turned the show into a cultural phenomenon. Their move to Amazon allowed them to continue creating the adventures that fans have come to love, with holiday specials that saw them journeying through remote and often unforgiving landscapes in the most unlikely of vehicles.
Here at Automotive Addicts, we’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching these three blokes push the boundaries of automotive television, making us laugh, and at times, leaving us in awe. The Grand Tour has shown us that cars are more than just machines; they’re vessels for unforgettable experiences and memories shared with friends.
As Clarkson poignantly says in the trailer, “So, for the last time, here we go.” For us, and countless automotive enthusiasts around the world, this final episode will be bittersweet. The Grand Tour will be missed, but the memories it has created will continue to fuel our passion for cars. Be sure to tune in on September 13, and perhaps keep a tissue box nearby—this truly is the end of an era.
