This special was pretty rough on James and his poor Mitsubishi Lancer Evo already, and then THIS happened. Now it's a rescue mission, but don't worry, Hammond and Clarkson have a plan.

I yawned. Does that help? I know that Top Gear was somewhat scripted as well. But The Grand Tour is just too much scripted. Or maybe it's just more obvious.

This happens because driving in ice creates a wave under the ice and if you’re going fast the wave eventually overtakes you if you slow down the ice cracks and down you go. Also because they scripted it and there was always a hole with water under the snow

Ever saw ice road truckers?. Imagine going through the ice with a truck.and trailer. Ever saw once it was not allowed to wear ur seatbelt while driving on a frozen lake. Because, if it did happen, that the truck fell through ... they could jump out the truck, and not be strained, or blocked from the seatbelt that could take a few seconds to save urself before the truck is sinking, no?

Its funny how Richard fell in love with Oliver which was a yellow color car and james clearly developed a connection with the Evo which is also yellow. 😅 IMO that's what makes cars special. The moments you experience with the car regardless of whether it works or breaks down. Clarksons quote at the end was poetic about the Audi. A Quattro isn't just for Christmas. A Quattro is for life! So happy to see these 3 back at it again doing what they do best. Thank you all for a life time of memories. Its sad to see them burn by the fire of time but i guess we all have to age one day. Not 1 adventure where they haven't ever made it entertaining to watch.

Because they don't know how thick the ice is in front of the car. They know it will hold behind it because he drove it from that direction. In front of the car it could be thinner and by going infront of it could cause all the cars to go through
