The Grand Tour's Attempt At Car-To-Car Refuelling Didn't Go So Well

Remember BMW's mid-drift, M5-to-M5 refuelling trick? This similar effort from Hammond and May wasn't quite so successful...

While we all enjoyed seeing BMW’s audacious ‘mid-drift’ refuelling efforts recently, it surely would have been more entertaining to see a pair of middle-aged, hap-hazard men trying it, right?

If you agree, you’re in luck: as we can see from this new trailer, the latest episode of The Grand Tour will feature Richard Hammond and James May trying out different ways of refuelling a car without having to pull over. Amazingly though, it looks like one method actually worked.

This particular segment will surely be the highlight of the episode...

At the Eboladrome meanwhile the Lamborghini Huracan Performante is put through its paces, and Jeremy Clarkson will be taking a look at the epic battle between the Audi Quattro and Lancia 037 during the 1983 World Rally Championship. Finally, boxer Anthony Joshua and WWE’s Bill Goldberg will be the latest participants for Celebrity F-Off.

The episode will go live on Friday, or slightly before, depending on your time zone.

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Tough..

Did it end like this?

…with Richard injured badly??

I heard they gonn put advertiements under Richards car from now on

GROUP B?!?!?!!??!
Now I want to skip Thursday even more

Yeah, but no 205 T16 or Delta S4

Oooohhhh A 037!!!!

last week the guys were on Caddish not Laddish form, with a Fun filled piece on Jaguar and it seems the guys have done more car based work this season.

overall it been a good season by the GT lads.

looking forward to the Group B bit, there usually fun pieces by Clarkson and co.

Sexy Lancia

very smart of the producers to have Hammond drive instead on May. May would be too slow around the track and Hammond would end up filling the car with water.
