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.

French car guys right now
This just reminded me why I dislike them. They are just rich people destroying cars, they are not carguys, we can respect stuff even if we don’t really like it. They are repetitive and dumb. I’m sooo glad Jeremy got kicked off BBC so we at least now have Top Gear which is normal and you feel it’s sone for car people, GT feels more like circus.
I agree with you.
The car had some problems , u could tell from accelerating

I may sound like that boring guy but, what do these guys have against Renaults? Honestly a Clio and a Megane RS, I would be willing to do many many things for either of them and they just destroyed them pointlessly.
They are British so yes, they do hate Renaults. And I dislike them
And they drove a Twingo RS into the sea a few years ago
So he must be screaming in the car,
“Oh Megane!”
Reminds me of what a great game Burnout Paradise is…
Could be worse……could be a Morris Marina…

Can I ask
“Does that mean he’s not coming on then?”
