The speedboat very nearly meets its death but is saved when Jeremy unhitches it for a manual turn and - car and speedboat unscathed - gets back on track. The Ford Raptor is a beast but even it can’t drive over a whole tree and Jeremy is forced to attempt a three-point turn on a gravel mountain path. Gloating in his apparent success and superior car, Jeremy thinks that he’s got it in the bag. Hammond’s Porsche Macan unfortunately turns out not to be up to his choice of route and, after a few minutes of spinning tyres, Richard “what a spanner” Hammond returns to the start point to the delight of James. May takes out his map, checks the gradient lines, and formulates a plan. Convenient that.Įver-prepared May is mocked for wearing a hat but is soon the one laughing when snowflakes begin to settle on the ground and the challenge begins! Predictably, Clarkson and Hammond check their Beelines for direction and speed off somewhat haphazardly straight up the mountain. And it goes so right.īefore they set off there’s quick car-swap from Jeremy who realises that his Alfa Romeo doesn’t have a trailer hitch and so substitutes it for a Ford F150 Raptor which is a pick-up truck that can smash over or through anything and everything.
It’s a task that is destined for disaster designed to go so wrong. The hitch? That they will be towing speedboats behind them. The guys are going to have to follow their ‘satellite compasses’ to find the fastest course to the finish flag as the crow flies. The Apex Mountain Resort is home to the ‘lightest champagne powder snow’ and ‘incredible terrain’.for skiers. They are to race up Canada’s Apex Mountain Resort towards a the finish line at a lake. Having already taken an Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, a Range Rover Velar, and a Porsche Macan Turbo Performance Pack (is it just us or does this sound more like a Need for Speed expansion than a car?) for a spin round a race track, the team convene around Jeremy’s phone to receive a challenge from their producer. But, if you don’t have Amazon Prime and would like to find out what kind of silly shenanigans unfolded, we’ve done a round-up of the best bit. To quote Hammond, “It’s a brilliant show, it’s a good one”, and we highly recommend giving it a watch! Aside from our own top highlight, Paris Hilton and Rory McIlroy take each other on on the race track and Jeremy takes a team of lawyers for a ride in a Tesla X. Last week’s ‘Oh, Canada’ episode on The Grand Tour saw its presenters Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond follow ‘satellite compasses’ as they took on a characteristically comical challenge.
