Rimac Concept One Electric Vehicle Crash Initiates The Second Season of The Grand Tour Series, Involving Jeremy Clarkson
The much-anticipated second series of The Grand Tour is set to premiere this week on Amazon Prime, starting on Friday, 8 December. The show, featuring Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, returns with a bang as they test drive some of the most impressive supercars on the planet.
In the first episode of Series 2, the trio takes on a Lamborghini Aventador S, Honda NSX, and Rimac Concept One in a thrilling test drive around the beautiful Cotswolds. However, the episode also marks a somber moment as Richard Hammond had a massive crash while driving a Rimac EV Supercar in Switzerland. Thankfully, the crash did not involve any of the other supercars tested in the episode and did not affect the release schedule of The Grand Tour Series 2.
The show has made some changes to its format, including the end of 'The American' as a Stig replacement. The 'Celebrity Face Off' challenge in Episode 1 includes David Hasselhoff and Ricky Wilson. The guests in the first episode of The Grand Tour Series 2, besides the three main hosts, are not specifically named in the available information. The episode is set in Stuttgart and features various crazy ideas by the hosts.
The Grand Tour has been filmed in the Cotswolds, with the crash occurring during filming for the second series. The crash occurred in a location other than the Cotswolds, highlighting the dangers of high-speed driving.
The second series of The Grand Tour is teased in a video, with real celebrities set to appear on set in Series 2, instead of dead celebrities as in Series 1. The show is already an Amazon best-selling show, with fans eagerly awaiting the return of their favourite car enthusiasts.
So, buckle up and get ready for an exhilarating ride as The Grand Tour returns this week with a new season full of fast cars, outrageous stunts, and hilarious banter. Don't miss it!
