The iconic trio from The Grand Tour is back with what might be their most exhilarating special yet. In The Grand Tour: Sand Job, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May transform three cabriolets into rally-ready machines for a daring Dakar-style adventure across the Sahara. Despite Clarkson’s earlier statement about retiring from car shows, the team is embracing the challenge with a lineup of sleek convertibles, aiming to tackle the harsh conditions of Mauritania at a fraction of the cost of a high-end Lamborghini.

In this special, Clarkson opts for a Jaguar F-Type, Hammond takes on an Aston Martin DB9, and May drives a Maserati GranCabrio, each one modified for off-road endurance. As they traverse treacherous landscapes and face extreme temperatures, viewers are treated to a mix of humor and high-stakes action. From battling unforgiving terrain to navigating through disease-ridden areas, the special promises to deliver the trademark excitement and camaraderie fans have come to love, even as Clarkson hints at it being his last hurrah in this format.
