The Grand Tour Gave 'The Stunt Man' A Second Try, And It Didn't End Well
The Grand Tour producers seem to be getting impatient, or something; they’ve published another video featuring the same stunt driver we saw jump-crashing a Renault Sport Clio 197 into a mocked-up portable building earlier today.
This time the unnamed stunt supremo is behind the wheel of a Renault Sport Megane. What happens next is a bit painful to watch. He wheelspins violently away from the line and… more or less immediately puts two wheels up a ramp attached to the end of some safety barrier, flipping the Megane over with gusto.
The white hot hatch rolls over several times. Bits come off, other bits get squashed, and no, it won’t buff out. We’re actually a bit sad to see that car destroyed. Unless it was a cheaply-repaired MOT failure and death trap, in which case we’ll let the producers off.
What this second clip does show, however, is that the Clarkson/Hammond/May/Wilman silliness is very much intact. Things are ramping up, if you’ll forgive the pun.

Cue the “Does that mean he’s not coming on then?” comments. :P
no james
he flipped and crashed the car
so he is not coming on
Does that mean those comments arent coming on?
Third time’s the charm???
Also cue the “Of course he isn’t coming on” comments
Goddammit… It isn’t going as nearly as well as it was expected to this GT Season 2 :(
Does that mean he’s not coming on then?
No James, he’s flipped over a ramp at high speed and did a few flips knocking out some vertebrae and causing a lateral skull fracture and has his eyes rolled up in his head along with causing us to go into debt after crashing that Renault so no… He’s not coming on then
Why do they have to be using Renault Sport cars :(
Can’t they crash some Prii or Fiat Multiplas?
I know… It hurts
Might be a decently looking but mechanically almost dead car
Probably was a factory test car. It would’ve been written off anyways. Roadkill also had a factory test car when they did the swap in the charger
ehh……
Gotta make a meme from this.
You Dingleberry
Brilliant
Am i the only one who doesnt find this funny anymore? I really want to but its so forced and scripted. We all now that these three rambling on about any topic is more entertaining then them reading a script.
There flogging a dead horse. I’m bored with the 3 of them. Have been for years tbh.
I thought this too. There were a handful of episodes in season 1 that were pretty cringeworthy
Nooo
