Stepping behind the wheel to drive the show into a new era is a surprising dynamic trio: viral trainspotter and self-described secret petrolhead Francis Bourgeois, teamed with James Engelsman and Thomas Holland, the creators behind the hit YouTube channel Throttle House.
Together, the new presenting team will travel across demanding landscapes to tackle car culture’s most absurd and pressing questions, from pushing track cars through the Angolan desert to immersing themselves in Malaysia’s vibrant automotive scene and pushing high-performance vehicles to their limits in California.
A Wild First Journey
The upcoming season promises plenty of chaotic encounters and unforgiving conditions for the new hosts.
Francis Bourgeois said: “Since completing the filming of the series, I haven’t stopped replaying every moment in my head. It has made me laugh, made my heart race and my stomach turn…remembering the tent I shared with Thomas and James filled with sulphuric farts whilst Angolan jackals snooped around outside. It feels as though it was a dream but knowing we will get to share our adventures soon makes me so incredibly excited!”
The grueling expeditions left a lasting impression on the group, who found themselves stranded in harsh environments without guidance.
James Engelsman said: “We took on the West African Desert. We contended with fighter pilots. We even decided to challenge an entire nation’s legal system by protesting from the mountain tops. In doing so, the three of us learned our true strength: How to accept defeat gracefully.”
Thomas Holland said: “I figured someone would be there to hold our hand the whole time. Nope. We were on our own in some absolutely wild environments in very, VERY questionable cars. What did we learn from this experience? Only that we have very poor decision-making skills. When you watch in September, expect a good laugh. And maybe a few butt clenches...”
It’s already been confirmed that the original presenting duo of Clarkson, Hammond and May will make at least one cameo in the upcoming season.
All six episodes of The Grand Tour will stream exclusively on Prime Video starting 4th September.
