Just a reminder but after Clarkson had left, the BBC offered Hammond and May huge amounts of money to stay but they declined and chose to run with Clarkson. Now that's friendship
I think you guys are entirely too biased. Chris Harris is actually a better motor journalist and a better driver than any of the original 3.. And this is coming from someone who has watched Top Gear when it aired live since season 9.. They just need to find 2 more people that can actually drive. Freddy Flintoff and Paddy arent too bad.. They should have chosen Chris Harris / Tanner Foust / Sabine Schmitz as the main 3.. Having 3 skilled drivers in a show about driving cars would be nice.
The Grand Tour: Began with the trio coming together on a flat plain The Grand Tour: Ended with the trio splitting away on Zimbabwe’s flat plain Thank you for 22 years lads ❤❤
Patrick Hermawan that is the best thing about it the BBC couldn’t survive in a fair playing field that is why they harass and threaten people into paying for the tv license they will never receive a single penny from me I get all the entertainment I need from Amazon Prime Netflix my PS4 and my Xbox One
And brings a tear to my eye. I grew up watching these beautiful idiot's, i was devastated when i heard about clarkson leaving, and all these years later i still ball up inside when i watch that first episode of GT.
This scene is amazing. I was mad at clarkson , and still am, for being a bad person and punching someone and ruining something great. It was never the same, but this scene is amazing
That scene where the trio are going through a field of cars is in my opinion one of the most iconic moment in TV history. A lot of motoring enthusiasts nowadays, especially young ones are motoring enthusiasts because of the trio. It's like a mother goose flying through a flock of her sons and daughters. Absolutely spectacular.
Some say "The Three Wise Men" still send the Stig a postcard, a letter, a fax or even an email to him on how they're doing, what is going on with them and the Grand Tour and they constantly say, "Come out and see us, we miss you Stig! It would be good to hit the track and burn some rubber! Just like old times." But he sighs, as his contract with the BBC is indefinite and he can't leave... *Stig cries internally* Edit: (Holy crap didn't expect this many people to like this comment! Thanks for the love guys.)
@@FarmYardGaming or have good taste! you are in the right place and anyone who likes them must have a sese of humor or good taste. literally one of the coolest groups of fans on youtube. love these comments yall are awesome:)
Director General of the BBC? Haha what a ridiculous name for a media job. No wonder the BBC is in the doldrums. They take themselves too fucking seriously.
Sadly that wouldn't happen at the British Bias Corporation. Too many people there had a goal for years to get rid of Clarkson as he refused to bow down to their increasingly politically-ccorrect left-wing tofu-munching feminazi LGBTXYZ agenda.
Nakul Dalakoti that ford funeral got me and when they said they’re calling it quits the tears were flowing not ashamed to say that... these men have made my bad days good days by watching! Cheers from a fellow fan!
With the announcement that we only have one more GT left before the trio hangs up their hats, it is worth mentioning that when this show (and top gear by extension) at its best, is not just a car show. It's a show about people and their relationship with automotive machines. Cars can amazingly be whatever you want them to be. Be it a tool, a hobby, a life saving transport or an outlet for expression. This intro sums that up without saying a single word.
BBC made a big mistake Grand tour is so much better that the new top gear (im sure everyone will agree) And if i may say Even better than the old top gear There is just somthing about amazon gt that the BBC never had
The moment they reunited was really nice, the BBC thought they had one over on Clarkson, until Hammond and May left to join him. The best thing that could have happened did happen and let's just take a moment to bless Amazon for keeping it alive.
The BBC couldn't afford Clarkson after this Amazon could afford him twice and keep the show going forever if they could these old trio will have the greatest send off
That moment the BBC made a huge mistake sacking clarkson made me cry and smile the part that made me cry is seeing clarkson depressed that he is fired But yea seeing hammond and James may definitely made me happy regardless of there argument and disagreements they act like friends or mates who's sort of hate each other but stick together like 3 flys on shit lol
Well, this is us... a community where you're welcome always, no matter your nationality, race, religion. It doesn't matter if it's petrol, diesel, hydrogen or electricity, FWD, RWD or AWD, a long straight in USA, a moutain road, a german racetrack, an african desert or mud knee-deep in siberia. What's important is to go faster, louder, further. To feel what's most important- freedom. Because this is what we're all about.
30 people from BBC disliked this video. The great thing about the Grand Tour is that it's not just these 3 who left, they took the producers and camera crew with them as well. BBC be like, that escalated quickly.
Even with the show being boiled down to just a couple specials every year, the last three seasons have been some of the best television I've ever watched.

Sarcastic Asshole unfortunately that will never happen they are funded by the tax payer and they constantly harass people who don’t use their services into paying for them
@@Dave534 Hi. But at the end of the day, The new top gear in my opinion is a failure. It doesn't have that excitement and joy the previous seasons of top gear had. But what can you expect from the bbc who had to find replacements. The replacements are uninspiring. The show would of stood a better chance of ratings if they got Rowan Atkinson to be a presenter.
i'm not into comedy shows and i never laughed at any american late night joke i hear, but watching these 3 men joking around genuinely makes me smile and snicker at times, which i do hope says something. seeing the last scene of the final episode actually made me feel some genuine sadness i hadn't in quite sometime. the trio are like a lightning in a bottle as i remember some of their funny moments like jeremy saying jaggg, hammond's quick witty remarks, and james not believing in electricity. thank you to the 3 men who brought us top gear, the grand tour, and childish banters. cheers to the best comedy trio....in the world.
Had to come back to this after watching the trailer for the final journey that this trio will ever be a part of. “One for the road”. You three were a massive influence on my love for cars during my childhood, my teens and now into my late 30’s. You guys will truly be missed!
Came here after watching the trailer for "One for the Road"..... They restarted their trio dynamic like this with a huge bang then they're finally going to end it in the most solemn of notes. Truly wonderful...... The lunacy of these trio ever since Top Gear helped me go through the gritty reality, which I believe holds true for most viewers who had these shows way back in their childhood years. We'll miss you, fine gentlemen......
It's 2020 and this intro is still better than anything Top Gear has done since Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond left. I agree with many that have said it, that two minute mark still gets me every time.
This opening always made me cry. The friendship between these three were so precious that they became the real reason why Top Gear was the best show .... in the world. When James and Hammond would left BBC to follow Clarkson, it was a beginning of the end for TG, nothing will ever be the same anymore. The three would go on a new adventure. They would call it......The Grand Tour!!!
When I watched this for the first time, I had a big smile on my face. There was nothing like seeing my favorite TV trio with 3 patriotic Mustangs (since the Mustangs here have the American flag colors). That moment at 2:04 after Clarkson smiles seeing Hammond and May where we see an overhead shot of all the Mustangs is one of the coolest on television.
3 middle age old farts yet the were childhood old farts and will always make me laugh till the end of time. Peaple don't understand the bond as kids with Hammond running a science show along other show's aswel you just can't get the bond with 3 new guys it's just not the same but that's me I respect those who wana move on with latest top gear aka shit gear but that's personal preference because these 3 farts were our childhood
When Hammond & May turn up behind Clarkson & Clarkson's face literally beams with happiness is one of the best moments ever seen on television. U just know that's true friendship right there
Personally I think they are better on Amazon they have the freedom to make jokes they don’t have to censor themselves because the the BBC’s ridiculous political correctness
@@Dave534 And on top of that, they were willing to give The Grand Tour as big of a budget as it needed to not only rope in the guys' loyal fans, but also rival the hust of what TG had become in their absence. I mean, look at this, how much do you think it cost to make?
Looking back from a nostalgic POV I wished the trio was still on BBC but I respect Amazon on the fact that they really appreciate the talent Clarkson Hammond and May bring to the table unlike BBC
I must say the editing on this intro was spot-on. My favourite part of that is the line "Here is the rainbow I've been praying for", right over the top of the three presenters in the three different coloured cars.
Fun fact when Clarkson was coming down the highway he didn’t actually know James and Richard would be there he knew they were doing a show but that is a genuine reaction from Clarkson as this was the first time he had seen them since he got fired
The fact that May and Hammond left after Clarkson was laid off speaks volumes about the type of people they are, real friends
Both May and Clarkson were always at Hammond's bedside after he had his crash

If only horizon would be real..
@@TheMrluke555 racewars?
This need more likes.
@@DexxonGamer77 I agree
I´m 30 years old, I have been watching them for 22 years and i know that one thing is certain... I will be watching them three for the rest of my life
The BBC disliked the video...
All 2 people who work there
*NEWS FLASH BBC SHUTS DOWN BECAUSE THEY WENT BANKRUPT WHEN THE TOP GEAR BOYS LEFT*
Sarcastic Asshole unfortunately that will never happen they are funded by the tax payer and they constantly harass people who don’t use their services into paying for them

@@Dave534 Hi. But at the end of the day, The new top gear in my opinion is a failure. It doesn't have that excitement and joy the previous seasons of top gear had. But what can you expect from the bbc who had to find replacements. The replacements are uninspiring. The show would of stood a better chance of ratings if they got Rowan Atkinson to be a presenter.
That moment when Hammond and May appear from behind Clarkson in their cars just after Clarkson smiles at 2:03 is pure gold!!!
thank you gents for the amazing laughs and adventures you brought us. God Speed.
It's been 4 years and that smile on clarksons face when he sees may and Hammond in the mirror still gives me chills
Ir has been another 2 years 🤷♂️
What an Adventure it has been.
So Long Guys
i'm not into comedy shows and i never laughed at any american late night joke i hear, but watching these 3 men joking around genuinely makes me smile and snicker at times, which i do hope says something. seeing the last scene of the final episode actually made me feel some genuine sadness i hadn't in quite sometime. the trio are like a lightning in a bottle as i remember some of their funny moments like jeremy saying jaggg, hammond's quick witty remarks, and james not believing in electricity. thank you to the 3 men who brought us top gear, the grand tour, and childish banters. cheers to the best comedy trio....in the world.
2:02 - 2:14 the only time we will see this three guys show their true friendship to us.
The best cold opening of any television show...ever. Chills.
Had to come back to this after watching the trailer for the final journey that this trio will ever be a part of. “One for the road”.
You three were a massive influence on my love for cars during my childhood, my teens and now into my late 30’s. You guys will truly be missed!
2:02 when your buddies got yo back
I was there - couldn't see Richard Hammond from the back row.
Lol hahaha that's cool that you were there
You are legendary
Here after the trailer for the final special dropped
This scene actually brought a tear to my eye the first time I saw it… Oh heck, who am I kidding? It still brings a tear to my eye!
The song choice for this was perfect. Suits it so well.
Definitely, anything is improved if hothouse flowers are in it :)
One of the rare songs that are better than the original.
8 years from now, feels like 8 minutes... immensely sad. Thank you guys for the unforgettable memories...
From grey misery to bright, colourful happiness! What a grand opening to The Grand Tour!
Came here after watching the trailer for "One for the Road"..... They restarted their trio dynamic like this with a huge bang then they're finally going to end it in the most solemn of notes. Truly wonderful......
The lunacy of these trio ever since Top Gear helped me go through the gritty reality, which I believe holds true for most viewers who had these shows way back in their childhood years.
We'll miss you, fine gentlemen......
Just finished watch ''One For The Road'' and now combing through youtube to just watch all their great episode moments. Thanks, Lads!!
It's 2020 and this intro is still better than anything Top Gear has done since Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond left. I agree with many that have said it, that two minute mark still gets me every time.
7 years on... We were lucky and honoured to live in this era. Thank you for everything you did... And yes James, you brought us lots of happiness
Never to be bettered thank you gents for 22 great years
You know you are a true petrol head if you get goosebumps at 2:04 and 2:57
This opening always made me cry. The friendship between these three were so precious that they became the real reason why Top Gear was the best show .... in the world.
When James and Hammond would left BBC to follow Clarkson, it was a beginning of the end for TG, nothing will ever be the same anymore. The three would go on a new adventure. They would call it......The Grand Tour!!!
funnily enough, GT backwards is TG
When I watched this for the first time, I had a big smile on my face. There was nothing like seeing my favorite TV trio with 3 patriotic Mustangs (since the Mustangs here have the American flag colors). That moment at 2:04 after Clarkson smiles seeing Hammond and May where we see an overhead shot of all the Mustangs is one of the coolest on television.
returning back to watch this after years. still bring tears. greatest trio of all times
After seeing One for the Road this hits real hard
The start and the end one for the road 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
you can tell from this opening these three really do have a friendship and a bond that cannot be explained.
3 middle age old farts yet the were childhood old farts and will always make me laugh till the end of time. Peaple don't understand the bond as kids with Hammond running a science show along other show's aswel you just can't get the bond with 3 new guys it's just not the same but that's me I respect those who wana move on with latest top gear aka shit gear but that's personal preference because these 3 farts were our childhood
When Hammond & May turn up behind Clarkson & Clarkson's face literally beams with happiness is one of the best moments ever seen on television. U just know that's true friendship right there
The Grand Tour started in a desert with an iconic opening. And ended in a desert with an equally momentous ending. Thanks for the many many memories.
Probably the greatest opening I've ever seen in my life
2:02 Most legendary scene in television history, Ladies and Gentlemen
Can't stop replaying this video man. Been years
Still miss the moments that they went through on TG but they're still the best of the best!
I'm so glad Amazon went on the right direction!!
Personally I think they are better on Amazon they have the freedom to make jokes they don’t have to censor themselves because the the BBC’s ridiculous political correctness
@@Dave534 And on top of that, they were willing to give The Grand Tour as big of a budget as it needed to not only rope in the guys' loyal fans, but also rival the hust of what TG had become in their absence. I mean, look at this, how much do you think it cost to make?
Now it's over again
Rip GRAND TOUR
Rip the rent and the audience
CAI WILKIE hopefully it will just be for one season before they realise their mistake and bring back the tent
Looking back from a nostalgic POV I wished the trio was still on BBC but I respect Amazon on the fact that they really appreciate the talent Clarkson Hammond and May bring to the table unlike BBC
i am going to miss you guys, thank you for 20 years of pure british comedy and entertainment
What a journey!
I must say the editing on this intro was spot-on. My favourite part of that is the line "Here is the rainbow I've been praying for", right over the top of the three presenters in the three different coloured cars.
Fun fact when Clarkson was coming down the highway he didn’t actually know James and Richard would be there he knew they were doing a show but that is a genuine reaction from Clarkson as this was the first time he had seen them since he got fired
Where did you find this ouy
CD 975 it was in a DRIVETRIBE post on their website
Makes this even better.
Not sure how that would be possible considering the months of planning before anything was ever filmed
@@voke4553 Rather unpossible, me thinks
