Former Top Gear Trio Finally Name Their New Show

After months of waiting, former Top Gear hosts, Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, finally give their upcoming amazon motoring show a name. "The Grand Tour" would be the name.

In a statement, the former Top Gear trio thanked fans for taking the time to send in their suggestions for the name, which they said were “much appreciated”.

Reacting on how the name came about, “Thing is,” said Clarkson, “we’ll be travelling the world hosting each episode in a different country, from a giant tent. It’s a sort of ‘grand tour’, if you like. So we’ve decided to call it The Grand Tour.”

However James May said he was underwhelmed by the name. “I wanted to call it ‘Nigel’, or ‘Roger’,” he said. “We needed a name, and they’re names."

Hammond on the other hand was more positive. “I already love camping,” he said. “But this is something else. We are like our pioneering and prospecting forebears, sallying forth into a new frontier of broadcasting, and making our home where…” 

The Grand Tour is set to debut this autumn on Amazon’s video service.

Fans of the Trio are already reacting to this name, so what do you think about the name?
