S04E04 The Grand Tour presents… Carnage A Trois
In this second Lockdown Special, the trio dive into the bizarre world of French car culture. On an epic road trip starting in the Welsh hills, they dish up a hair raising mountain climb, bomb defusals, propellor powered cars, helicopter stunts and the most thrilling race of their lives before reaching the English Channel for a jaw dropping medieval climax. And a soupcon of French art house cinema.

Felt like an old segment on Top Gear but instead it was an entire episode, really enjoyed it.

I lost it Hammond sat in the propeller car and everyone just legged it
To be fair so would it

The cut away as he was gathering speed and audacity.
"I believe we are getting tired of these crashes."
I couldn't stop laughing. And when I did stop laughing we heard the crash!!!! 🤣

To be honest the jokes only started after the Rimac incident; the rocket car was (is) mostly left alone.

No they have been poking fun at his habit of crashing/damaging his vehicles since Top Gear. Off the top of my head he crashed in the 24 hour race with the diesel BMW, he spun the 911 GT3 RS in one of the American road trip specials, he crashed a F-type R RWD coupe in one of the perfect roadtrip dvds, he drove the 458 Spider into a bollard on the Spanish budget supercar trip.

Don't forget the part of the first/teenager car challenge where they're calling insurance providers: "No, no accidents in the last five years."

In the Spanish budget supercar trip they did top speed runs on an abandoned airfield and Jeremy and James were joking aboit being nervous every time Hammond drives fast in a straight line.

Only 68 mins long :( They keep getting shorter and shorter. (Insert Hammond joke here)

Wait really? That’s disappointing… I wish they would make a 2+ hours long one like back in the day

Your wish finally happened but it came at a price.

Does anyone know what happened to the cars that they used in the rallycross? They seemed in a good shape after all

Great episode as they all are... Recently bought the Renault Avantime 2.0 Turbo Petrol that James May drove.. Still has the fabric damage to the interior pillar and front of sunroof where the cameras were fitted for filming.. Actually really nice to drive

A guy that I rolled with had a giant hole on his short in the crotch area. He pulled guard so I had to look at his undies for the whole round

Can’t believe they got away with that roundabout segment
Mr_2010@reddit
Is what they said about how the French use roundabouts true?
LuNiK7505@reddit
Nope, literally the onmy roundabout where that rule applies in the Arc de Triomphe one, otherwise it’s like everyone else
taulover@reddit
On the other hand, roundabouts in New Jersey are like this (arguably worse actually because there are no clearly defined or consistent rules) and they're among the most common in the US

As a frenchie, this episode was really entertaining! I just love how they both absolutely bashed the French spirit but also said some nice things about it. Their British humour is really spot on for this kind of thing. Longue vie au Grand Tour! Their French is quite good too!
Bonus point for Hammond going crazy in the helicar, his face haunts my nightmares eversince.
And the BMW exploding surprised me so much, it was great entertainement. I hope they quickly were able to find some replacement for the interns.
