The Grand Tour (2016) (2016)

Thomas, James and Francis receive an official blessing from Jeremy Clarkson, then head off on their first-ever adventure.

By racing against fighter jets, obviously.

Following a pub chat with James May, the team head stateside to convince Americans of the brilliance of tiny Japanese Kei cars. And what better way for Thomas, James and Francis to win hearts and minds… than by sneaking off-road around Colorado before tackling the USA's most terrifying hillclimb: the 4,300-metre monster that is Pikes Peak?
