Of course it is, was never in doubt.
Funnier than the whole last season of that other show combined:

It's the studio audience from Cordon's US late night show.

Looks so good, I really really hope they deliver...PLUS I hope BBC just uses LeBlanc and let him run Top Gear, he was the one perfect thing about the casting...
LeBlanc is signed up for another few series, as part of a trio with Reid and Harris.
Some phone footage of the filming of the opening sequence, apparently costing $3.2 million to shoot:

Forgive me ignorance lads, but is this a similar format to top gear w a studio audience?
I kept waiting for someone to yell "SHINY AND CHROME!"
Leblanc is too dry, and too dull to run the show. He needs a co-host with a fun personality to make up for his lack thereof. He can be funny in small parts, but if he was the main host with the majority of screen time, the show would be a fucking snooze fest.
Better than anything they themselves did on top gear in a few years too I'd say.

Clarkson, Hammond, and May were interviewed by Adam Carolla on his podcast. Fun interview, about 45 minutes.

30 minute interview with Andy Wilman from August here.
- Goes into how the tent setup came to be
- How anal BBC lawyers are about thigns
- Leaderboard still, no handwritten times because of BBC lawyers
- News is back, not called news because of BBC layers
- They still may still have themed (Christmas) episodes, but not legally so because of BBC lawyers
This was fun and light. For people who can't listen, some old info:
- No SIARPC, no test track
- Little bit over half filmed, rest studio
- They assure there's still a good relationship with the BBC
- Richard's dragster incident got the show from 3-4 million british viewers to 8 million, then it went global afterwards.
- Nice discussion about boutique super car market in the UK
- Jeremy says the LFA is the best car he's ever driven, Richard GT3 RS, May 458 Speciale (he owns it)
Also I made a thread for people to share their favourite Top Gear moments, if anyone wants to have a look.

Pretty interesting half hour interview with Andy Wilman, exec. producer of The Grand Tour. He talks about the Amazon deal, production of the show, a bit about the fallout with BBC, etc.
Good watch if anyone is interested in that type of stuff.

Looks like they will be filming an episode in Nashville soon. Already submitted my application for tickets!

Interview with Jalopnik. Apparently the budget is not that different from Top Gear.
Good, more serious interview with Autoblog where they talk autonomous vehicles, Tesla, what made Top Gear special, and much more.

OK, that's good. I like that.
No, per episode. £160 million/36 episodes.
They are promoting the shit out of this show, which is great. Even my Amazon package last week had "Grand Tour" tape instead of the usual.
I was hoping Amazon would take this opportunity to launch their video service in Canada, but apparently not. Can't stream it, can't buy videos. I'm not a business major or anything, but I'm pretty sure you need to make your product available to buy if you want anyone to pay for it.
I really don't understand this at all. I was hoping another service or something would pick up the rights if Amazon themselves weren't planning on releasing it here but I haven't heard anything about that yet. What's going on?
The Boys Are Back In Town.
Bummed these are coming one at a timeI would burn through the entire series that weekend if I could.
I wonder what the "Best" download quality is going to be from the app... 1080 would be great to see
I'd much rather they stick to the weekly format. Let's you digest each episode and also makes the wait a bit easier for next season lol.

Isn't one of them racist?

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
No.
This video circulating around is ages old. It's from 18 months ago. It's from Top Gear Live (aka Clarkson, Hammond, & May Live). It isn't from GT.
No. He's just a bit of a twat.
Jezza is kind of like an old Joe Rogan. He's likable, but he says some DUUUUUMB shit and does some DUUUUUUMB shit every once in a while that makes everyone cringe and hold their heads in their hands.
Noticed a few people upset that Amazon in their country doesn't have Prime video or an equivalent airing TGT but they've just put this on Twitter

If you cba to watch, the series is launching in 'over 200 countries' in December.

The OT title needs to be a saying from the show or at least a dig at how poorly the BBC Top Gear reboot turned out.
The Grand Tour |OT| Ambitious, yet rubbish
The Grand Tour |OT| How hard could it be, they said
The Grand Tour |OT| The best Top Gear... in the world
The Grand Tour |OT| For legal reasons, this show is shit
The Grand Tour |OT| Amazon POWEEEEEEEEEEER
EDIT: I can make the OT if nobody else wants to.
