WATCH: The Grand Tour finale - 'it's not even about the cars'

Cape Town - The first season of the Grand Tour has aired and, at least according to ratings has been a resounding victory for the new motoring show streamed on Amazon.

Motoring stalwarts, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, produced yet another quality car show largely by just doing what they’ve always done - messing around in amazing vehicles, performing insane stunts and delivering quality banter. 

Whereas the disastrous Chris Evans (whom has since been booted from the show) iteration of Top Gear  flopped in the most spectacular fashion.

Grand Tour finale

Earlier in January 2017, Wheels24 columnist, Calvin Fisher, compared both shows, view the article here. In February, Fisher reviews the finale and shares his thoughts on The Grand Tour's first season: "This of course isn't the first time a group of funny middle aged British men have captured our imagination. They're a proper dynamic comedic force if you include Andy Wilman. Just like the one that brought us The Life of Brian, The Holy Grail and Now for Something Completely Different.

"And that's precisely what The Grand Tour is. Monty Python with cars. And sometimes, without." 

Grand Tour wrap up - it's not even about the cars:
