Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond are returning for their penultimate adventure on The Grand Tour where they aim to end the series on a high.
The latest special of the series, titled Sand Job, follows their latest release The Grand Tour: Eurocrash and will be launching on Amazon Prime Video on February 16, 2024.
The trio will embark on trip to the remote African country of Mauritania and will follow the footsteps of the legendary Paris-Dakar rally.
Unlike their usual adventures, they must complete their journey in cheap modified cards, rather than the bespoke Dakar racers they would normally be used too.
Kicking off their journey, Clarkson, May and Hammond will embark on the world longest train and see them tackle the killer Sahara desert, perilous river crossings all whilst protecting their fuel container from exploding.
Trawling through the desert means the three will come up against furious heat, something which Jeremy admitted was “bl**dy tough” for the whole team.

He explained: “You know, the funny thing is you don't get filthy in a desert. It's a very strange thing but sand is incredibly clean.
“We’ve experienced this in the Atacama and the Gobi and the Nomad and all the places we've driven over the years. You don't get dirty. But it was bl**dy tough.
“We drank litres and litres of water, and we didn’t pee. I mean, I don't know where it was going. Hammond said after three or four days, ‘I’m going to have a pee’.
“And I suddenly thought, ‘I haven't had a pee this whole time’.

Clarkson also went on to explain that the three of them were walking through 50 degree heat, even when trying to find some shade, and never saw a lot of the locals out and about.
“We hardly saw anybody at all but if we did occasionally encounter a small village, it would have maybe six or seven huts and everyone would be inside them all day. They venture out only after the sun has set because it's so hot.”
The star revealed how there were no alternatives when walking through the desert, leaving them unbale to duck into a hotel or restaurant to escape the heat.
The penultimate special comes after Clarkson took to his Instagram account to reveal that The Grand Tour would be ending in a post late last year.

Speaking about his reason to leave the show behind, he admitted the three of them felt they had “done everything you can do with a car.”
Jeremy added: “I’ve driven cars higher than anyone else and further north than anyone else…
“When we had meetings about what to do next, people just threw their arms in the air."
