The Grand Tour drops first look at new series A Scandi Flick with cars engulfed in flames and plunging into icy lakes
THE Grand Tour has dropped a revealing first look at its new series – and it looks packed full of action.
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May will be back doing what they do best – being idiots in vehicles.
The new series, set in the icy wastes of the Scandinavian Arctic Circle, follows on from The Grand Tour presents: Carnage a Trois – the second of The Grand Tour’s lockdown specials which launched in December 2021.
In the first episode of season 5 and their first post-pandemic road trip, Jeremy, Richard and James head for the icy wastes of the Scandinavian Arctic Circle.
At the wheel of their three favourite rally cars the boys embark on a catastrophe-filled adventure.
From Cold War submarine bases, frozen lake racetracks, crashes and ski resort chaos, the trio drag their homemade houses from the coast of Norway to the Russian Border.

Just last month, James was rushed to hospital after crashing a car into a wall at 75mph when a stunt went wrong.
The presenter broke a rib and needed a brain scan before getting the all-clear.
May and co-hosts Jeremy and Richard had been filming a dangerous drag-style race for their hit Prime Video when the horror happened.
They took it in turns to speed rally cars along a tunnel towards a rock wall at a Norwegian naval base.
The tunnel’s lights only came on as the cars sped along, giving all three just seconds to react as they ran out of space.
May, ironically nicknamed Captain Slow by his pals, braked too late while travelling at 75mph and jackknifed into the wall.
