Watch Clarkson, Hammond, And May Play Forza Horizon 3. They’re Completely Awful

Jeremy Clarkson Stirring Up More Controversy

VIDEO: Kia’s Upcoming Sports Sedan Reveals That We Have A Lot To Be Excited For

REVIEW: Moroccan Roll Episode Proves Not All Of The Grand Tour Is Scripted
With five episodes in its bag, The Grand Tour has drawn plenty of criticism about the show’s format; how it feels a bit too scripted and just a rehash of old Top Gear. We’d like to tell those critics to shut up for a second, and to not take yourself or the show too seriously. For us

Former Stig Ben Collins Just Trashed The Grand Tour’s “The American” With One Brutal Picture
The Grand Tour has some room for improvement. Episode two was a bit of a flop, but it’s a new show and it’s to be expected that there will be growing pains, no matter how long the boys have been together. That being said, many people are not really enjoying “The American,” The Grand Tour’s

The McLaren 570GT Taught Me Everything I Know About Supercars
The fact that I was even allowed to drive a McLaren is still blowing my mind 4 weeks later. I drove a freaking McLaren. A dream I’ve had since I was a 9 year old kid as I vacantly stared into the void-in-my-soul that is the McLaren F1 I will never own, came true. Though

Jenson Button’s Review Of The Grand Tour Will Piss Off Every Single Fan.
Wow, Jenson. This is cold. Jenson Button is one of our favotire F1 drivers. Well used to be. Not because of what he said, but he quite literally just retired form the sport after an excellent career. During that time he was featured on Top Gear a few times with Clarkson, Hammond, and May. Jeremy
