Final Shots: Jeremy Clarkson’s Amazon ‘Top Gear’ Spinoff Finally Named ‘The Grand Tour’

After months of tiresome deliberation, some of which was documented via social media, former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson and Co. have finally decided on The Grand Tour (GT for short) as the name for his forthcoming Amazon spinoff series.

The international car show, which will also be hosted by Richard Hammond and James May, is set to premiere on Prime Video sometime this fall. According to the show’s Facebook Page, there were many names being considered, including those sent in by fans including “Automates” or “The Ace Biscuit,” but Clarkson’s choice eventually won out with his reasoning that the trio will be “travelling the world hosting each episode in a different country, from a giant tent.” He further added “It’s a sort of ‘grand tour’, if you like.”
