A work in progress, Richard Hammond explains on the current site, вЂњGamers have got Twitch, travellers have got TripAdvisor and fashion fans have got, oh, something or other too. Alongside The Grand Tour, Clarkson, Hammond and May are launching their own app, a sort of social media network cum online magazine, called DriveTribe вЂ“ which, incidentally, has a very nice logo.

This time around, *The Grand Tour *isnвЂ™t just a TV show, itвЂ™s a lifestyle. Just as Top Gear did, The Grand Tour is making nerdy discussions of brake horse power and drive shafts not merely socially acceptable, but primetime entertainment. The Grand Tour comes with an accompanying app - DriveTribe The Grand Tour allegedly has a ВЈ160 million budget for 36 hour long episodes вЂ“ working out at around ВЈ4.4 million per episode. The trio reportedly approached Netflix, but were deemed too expensive by the network, and were snapped up by AmazonвЂ™s (ever so slightly flailing) Amazon Prime network. You can watch The Grand Tour online with Amazon PrimeДЄs Jeremy Clarkson waved goodbye/made a different gesture with his hands to the BBC, the team looked to the blossoming online streaming world for the showвЂ™s new home. This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. This is the midlife crisis of graphic design - but thatвЂ™s ok, itвЂ™s kind of charming in an вЂњoh my god Dad youвЂ™re soooooo embarrassingвЂќ kind of way. Effectively a mash up of every logo featuring the letters вЂњGTвЂќ in history, its italicised go-faster stripes are bedazzled with an extra touch of Seventies glamour courtesy of a lovely orange hue. The Grand Tour has a logoДЄnd yes, youвЂ™ve guessed it, itвЂ™s really car-y. Coincidentally, it also has the letters t and g in it. Which left them a bit stumped until they came up with, well, a very obvious name. Jeremy Clarkson wrote in The Sunday Times in April, 'Every morning, I'd make a ВЈ7000 call to the lawyer with an idea, and every afternoon I'd get a ВЈ7000 reply saying it was already in use by someone in New Zealand or France or Ukraine.' The Grand Tour team were legally prohibited by Top Gear from using any reference to the words 'Top' or 'Gear', or any reference to popular Top Gear features the Stig, the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car and the Cool Wall. Months after they started filming for the show, #TheStillVeryMuchUntitledClarksonHammondMayAmazonPrimeShowComingAutumn2016 still didnвЂ™t have a name. It may not sound like a cause for a party, or a headline, but for Clarkson, Hammond and May, the struggle was real.

We still test cars and stuff though,' said Wilman. 'There's, but we can't have handwritten stuff, that's all got to change for the lawyers. According to the video below, The Grand Tour also can't have a test track or record lap times the same way as Top Gear. The lawyers go through everything and they said, 'There's a scene in where you're in the middle of the Okavango and you go, 'This scenery is beautiful', so watch that you don't do that.' So we were in the desert in Namibia and we had to go, 'for legal reasons, this scenery is shit',' Wilman said. 'The lawyers got out a film we had done in Botswana. We went to Namibia to make a big film,' Wilman explained. The Grand Tour had to pander to the BBC's ridiculous legal anxietiesД®xecutive Producer Andy Wilman said the BBC took its legal hypochondria to a 'hilarious' level.

The former presenters of that program - Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May (we forget why they left, but weвЂ™re sure it was amicable) are now returning to our screens with The Grand Tour, Amazon PrimeвЂ™s Absolutely-Nothing-Like-Top-Gear-Whatsoever show, premiering from midnight tonight, 18 November 2016. We know what youвЂ™re all thinking: what on earth are you going to do now that Fifth Gear has been cancelled? There was also a skirmish or two over a program called Top Gear, but thatвЂ™s just small fry really. ItвЂ™s been a tumultuous year in the world of car related entertainment programming.
