Richard Hammond wishes new Grand Tour hosts luck as show reboots

Published on

The former Top Gear presenting lineup has extended well-wishes to the incoming team for Amazon’s long-running automotive programme.

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May have publicly endorsed the three personalities set to front the upcoming revival of the series.

The trio departed the show following an extensive run that began shortly after their exit from the BBC’s motoring magazine format.

Amazon confirmed the vehicle-focused programme would continue with presenters Thomas Holland and James Engelsman, known for their Throttle House YouTube channel, alongside social media personality and automotive content creator Francis Bourgeois.

The streaming platform has reportedly already ordered a second season before the refreshed lineup makes its debut appearance.

Mr Clarkson marked the transition by sharing an image featuring all six presenters, both former and incoming.

Mr May offered his assessment through a separate post containing a photograph of himself alongside the incoming trio.

Mr Hammond posted a picture depicting himself alongside Mr May and the three new additions to the programme.

The original presenting roster joined the platform in 2016 after concluding their tenure with the public broadcaster.

Their tenure encompassed numerous international adventures, competitive events and special episodes produced across various global locations.

The programme’s format, characterised by its expedition-based content and driving challenges, will remain intact under the new presentation team.
