Yahoo News The Grand Tour series 2 announces big change
Up until now, little was known about what the format of series two of The Grand Tour would be like, but Amazon has announced today (September 26) that the whole 'tour' element of the show is having a slight tweak... with the studio tent staying firmly put in the UK.
Yep, the new series of The Grand Tour will still see Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May travel through more locations than ever, attempting to avoid any further mishaps and injury along the way.
However, instead of the travelling tent of the previous series, the studio segments will now all be filmed from the show's new base in the Cotswolds.
And petrol-heads looking to apply for tickets to The Grand Tour can get them now.
For one week only, Amazon is inviting customers around the world to apply to be on the studio guestlist and join Clarkson, Hammond and May in their charming new location.
Applications for tickets to the studio recordings of series two open today at amazon.co.uk/GTTickets, closing at midnight on Tuesday, October 3.
Away from the tent, the trio's travels this series will take in five continents, tearing up the track in the likes of Croatia, Mozambique, Dubai, Spain, Switzerland, Colorado and New York.
It's not been an easy ride either, with Hammond suffering a horrific Swiss car crash while filming, and Clarkson struck down with a life-threatening case of pneumonia over the summer. No wonder they're chilling out in the Cotswolds this year...
In a statement, VP of Amazon Video Europe, Jay Marine said: "The Grand Tour is our most popular show around the world having been watched in over 240 countries and territories.
"Customers continually tell us that their favourite segments of The Grand Tour are the travelling adventures of Jeremy, Richard and James, so despite the various calamities and injuries along the way, the guys have spent this year exploring more incredible and stunning locations than ever before... and getting into more trouble of course.
"We can't wait for our Prime members to see series two later this year."
The Grand Tour's Executive Producer Andy Wilman added: "It's clear that the most popular 'Grand Tour' element of the show is when the chaps are roaming the globe on their big adventures and road trips, so that's what we're doing a lot more of for this series.
"We'll keep the studio in one place, and given how accident prone they are at the minute, that can only be a good thing!"
As part of a three series deal, The Grand Tour will be back for two more series with the second coming to Amazon Prime later this year.
But if you can't wait until then, watch a teaser below...
