This Was The Most Unforgettable Stunt From The Grand Tour

With The Grand Tour gearing up for the Eurocrash special, we've taken a look at some of Clarkson, Hammond, and May's wildest stunts on the show.

The Grand Tour has given us some spectacular moments over the years. Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May have built a car to cross Mongolia with. They’ve traveled across Scandinavia in rally specials. And they have partaken in their usual array of cheap car challenges. Some of the stunts over the course of the show's history are incredible. The latest special, Eurocrash, features an amazing selection such as May driving a tiny little Crosley onto a moving Soviet-era cargo aircraft.

Other epic stunts include the blowing up of Clarkson's old house by May and Hammond. The terrifying beach buggy cable car from their beach buggy special, and the usual array of madness that the trio has become famous for.

The most outlandish and unforgettable of all their stunts has to be the beach buggy cable that the trio built up at the end of that buggy adventure. It's as terrifying as it sounds, with a winch system taking the trios buggies over, one by one, over a river and across to the finishing point. Powered by loud diesel generators, it certainly looks like a daunting thing to be on. May went first across the cable car and was clearly not happy, screaming "I hate you" towards his co-presenters.

Despite that, he did make it to the end of the run and onto the beach safely. Clarkson was next up, and it somehow looked even more terrifying than when May went across. It didn't help that Clarkson's buggy weighed much heavier than May's. Clarkson brushes the grass as he goes over highlighting how much heavier his buggy was. Hammond is the last to go through, and he was even lower than Clarkson's, and as he reaches the end the cable car cuts out. Amusingly, Clarkson says that May was too drunk to help and he was mechanically inept. May was seen gulping a beer or two after his cable car run.

The beach buggy shenanigans were high during this special. Earlier, Clarkson and May decided to suspend Hammond from a helicopter in his buggy after he fell asleep in it. Cue plenty of expletives and screams from Hammond as he is going through his journey in the air. It's probably more terrifying than the cable car the three are in at the end of the show.

This was a bet by Clarkson. He said if the McLaren P1 wasn't faster than the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari at the Portimao circuit, they could demolish his house in the Cotswolds. Naturally, the demolition of the house was already planned for Clarkson to build something else. But it made for an interesting stunt for the show. Initially, Hammond and May had to take the roof off tile by tile due to bats living in the house. After that, the madness ensued with diggers and move coming in to take down the house.

May of course want to demolish the house methodically, while Hammond was happy to go all-in and go mad and knock it down in one go. Hammond's way was clearly quicker, but a new approach was clearly needed after Hammond smashed the windshield of his digger. So the two resorted to blowing up the house in a quick and timely manner. That certainly removed Clarkson's house from view. Although the explosion probably didn't sit well with the residents of Chadlington, the village closest to where Clarkson's Farm now resides.

Hammond and May decided to partake in another big stunt. They took the classic, kid's game Battleships, and scaled it up. The little plastic ships were replaced with cars and the pins that you place into the ships were also replaced with cars. When the ‘ship’ is fully blown up, the car will explode to signify that it is gone. A stretched limo represented the aircraft carrier, and a Toyota Prius the submarine. A Chrysler PT Cruiser was also added, because it's said to be an awful car. As you would expect, the stunt involved plenty of heavy equipment, with a huge crane dropping the cars onto the ‘board’ below them.

At the end of the dramatic game, it is May that comes out on top and beats Hammond to victory. It started out well for May before Hammond rebounded, and brought the game to a thrilling climax. Like everything on the show, and from their old Top Gear days, the stunt was on a grand scale. Reminiscing about these past exploits makes us excited about the upcoming special of The Grand Tour. This is coming globally on June 16th and is entitled "The Grand Tour: Eurocrash".

The upcoming special has strong Top Gear vibes to it. The three presenters are going on a massive road trip in three, very unusual and strange cars. Hammond is driving the Chevrolet SSR, May is driving a very odd Crosley, and Clarkson the ugly-looking Mitsuoka Le-Seyde. The three are going on a 1,400-mile round trip through Europe, behind what was The Iron Curtain of the Soviet Union in the Cold War. This will see classic Soviet jet aircraft appear, as well as the Soviet equivalent of Formula 1.

Hammond looks to have had a bit of an accident once again. Images leaked online showed him standing next to a car in the barriers and the trailer confirms him spinning off the track. Although it may be due to an engine issue and not a mistake from Hammond. Archers take aim at the three in another challenge, while May looks to have a rough ride while driving the little Crosley. After the recent article Clarkson wrote about Meghan Markle, many feared this would be the last The Grand Tour special

At least one more special from the trio is coming, with filming recently wrapping in Mauritania. And May recently suggested in an interview that the trio are not sacked or dropped from Amazon. But that they will just end things naturally when they decide the time is right.

May said "I mean, some people have said we’ve been canceled. But really we’re getting quite close to the end of our contract, but we didn't really have any particular plans to keep going because we’re all really just getting a bit old. It might be time to let someone else have a crack at it."

He added "No one has told us to go away. It's reaching its natural end, like parties do. There comes a point at 4am when it is over." This will be music to the ears of fans who still want more from the three presenters.
