Clarkson, May and Hammond head to Namibia for two-part New Year special.

THE GRAND TOUR will be bringing in the New Year in Namibia in a two-part special, it has been confirmed.



Following on from the Christmas special in Finland, episodes seven and eight will see Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May set a challenge by their producer, Andy Wilman. In a bid to prove buggies are not a relic of the 1960s, each one of the trio must customize their own buggy then trek through the deserts of South West Africa. The second episode of the special will see Clarkson, Hammond and May finally escape their desert buggy challenge only to be faced with an even bigger task, the rough roads of the Namibian bush.


There is sure to be plenty of drama as Clarkson's V8-powered buggy constantly malfunctions making the journey more arduous. As they near their destination the presenters must camp out as well as doing a bit of rhino conservation, before embarking on the dangerous final stretch to their finish point.This is not the former Top Gear hosts first trip to Africa as in episode five 'Moroccan Roll', the Grand Tour pitched its tent in Morocco.

However Grand Tour filming had to finish early as something "unexpected" happened, which meant they had to wrap at lunchtime. Although it is still not clear what the show-stopping incident was, it has been suggested by fans that it might have been the group's failed attempt to weigh a Mazda.

The New Year special will be available to watch on Friday 30 November and Saturday 31 November.
