**Q&A Session from the Post-Screening of *The Grand Tour* with Jeremy Clarkson**
---
**Q: What are we supposed to do now for motoring on television?**
**A:** Well, as I said to them the other day at Amazon, here's what I think. They keep talking about famous people that they want to—oh, well, they like cars. That doesn't work. They've got to find young kids who really know their cars and then get them to host a show. And I'm hoping Amazon will. I do think they'll carry on with *The Grand Tour*, but with some young kids. James, Richard, and I weren't well-known when we started. Now look at us. Still not very well-known.

**Q: What will you miss most about Hammond and May?**
**A:** Honestly, I could make some facetious remark about how we don’t like each other, but the truth is we do. Hammond has got one of the sharpest wits of anyone you'd ever meet—an unbelievably funny guy. And James? Well, he knows how steam engines work! But really, James is a remarkable character. He never really got what *The Grand Tour* or *Top Gear* was about, yet he fit in incredibly well. We've had some proper laughs, mainly at Hammond's expense, but also with Hammond.

**Q: How many units of alcohol did you drink per episode?**
**A:** Oh, God, did you notice that? We had a big cargo plane, an Antonov, to move all the kit out for filming. We didn’t fill the plane, so we used the extra space for beer. We had a third of an Antonov full of beer to get through. We are mostly smashed, really. Hopefully, nobody noticed that at the end of that lake crossing, all of that drink had gone. But, I’m duty-bound to say, there was a three-day gap between arriving and setting off the next day.
---
**Q: Which do you prefer: the car show or the farm show?**
**A:** It’s not a difficult one. For 25 years, I’ve really enjoyed doing the car show, but I’ve done everything—driven cars higher, further north, with train wheels on, over the Vic Falls Bridge. It’s refreshing now to get a call time of 9 a.m. and get up at 5 to 9 and still not be late. And Caleb is good fun to work with.
---
**Q: Were you more frightened in Argentina or Alabama?**
**A:** Honestly, I was more frightened in Alabama because I was actually there. In Argentina, James, Richard, and I flew away before the trouble started. The crews had a rough time, though. In Alabama, we were running for our lives. At one point, I was behind James May’s Cadillac, and behind me was a pickup truck full of “good ol’ boys” with dogs and guns. I overtook James and left him to it. Bravely ran away again!
---
**Q: What was your favorite modification to James or Richard’s car?**
**A:** Wiring James’s brake pedal to his horn in India. If you’re ever bored at work, do that to your mates. It’s hilariously good fun.
---
**Q: What’s your most proud moment from *The Grand Tour* and *Top Gear*?**
**A:** Honestly, that one—the final special. Everyone assumed I’d crash the program in a ball of flames with tabloid headlines and some terrible misdemeanor. But to actually end it nicely like that, after 25 years, that’s the proudest thing I’ve ever done.
---
**Q: Since you left *Top Gear*, have you been for a lap around Dunsfold?**
**A:** Yes, I snuck back in once and did one lap in Nick Mason’s Ferrari Enzo. Don’t really remember what I was doing there, but I did.
---
**Q: Did you bring the Merc and the Lancia back from Zimbabwe?**
**A:** No, they weren’t ours. That would’ve been theft. We left them there. I did bring the Lancia back, and it nearly worked.
---
**Q: Do you regret anything?**
**A:** Oh yes, oh yes.
---
**Q: After 35 years, do you still have the same love for cars?**
**A:** No. Honestly, no. They’re all shit now. I can’t even identify 80-90% of them, and I don’t care. The old stuff, though—that’s still fun to drive. My favorite car? A Lexus LFA. It sounds like a wounded werewolf.
---
**Q: Which special would you relive?**
**A:** Botswana. It was the first, and we were all like, "What are we doing here?" It was amazing. But the best special? For me, it's a toss-up between Mongolia and the Middle East.
---
**Q: Who’s the fastest driver out of Hammond, May, and you?**
**A:** Really? Richard has driven fast twice, and both times he ended up in an air ambulance. May once went 45 mph and nearly killed himself.
---
**Q: How was your harvest this year?**
**A:** I don’t know yet, we haven’t finished. Thanks to global warming in the community.
---
**Q: Did you enjoy when James crashed in Sweden?**
**A:** No! I genuinely thought he was dead. And no, it wasn’t scripted. I didn’t tell James to drive into a cliff face.
---
**Q: How involved were you in planning the shows?**
**A:** Pretty heavily involved. I did the recce for the latest special myself, which I realized after 25 years was just a holiday where you drive around looking for interesting things to film.
---
**Q: Who was the original Stig?**
**A:** The original Stig was Perry McCarthy, followed by Ben Collins, followed by Phil Keen. There isn’t a current *Top Gear*, so no current Stig.
---
**Q: Who’s winning F1 this year—Norris or Verstappen?**
**A:** It’s got to be Max Verstappen. Mathematically, it has to be him. Unless there's a miracle.
---
**Q: What’s the future for petrolheads with the bureaucrats banning petrol and diesel cars?**
**A:** I think cars will still exist like horses do now. Some people will still ride them for fun, and you’ll still be able to buy petrol for them. I plan to keep driving my old cars.
---
**Q: Who was the one person you wish you interviewed but never got to?**
**A:** Brian Ferry. He was the coolest guy, always wore a tux. I loved the idea of him in a shit car, but he never did the show.
---
**Q: Who was the worst guest?**
**A:** No, I won’t go there. Ronald Fiennes was the best guest, though.
---
**Q: What’s next for you?**
**A:** What sex am I? (Laughter ensues)
---
**Q: Who’s winning F1 this year?**
**A:** It’s got to be Max Verstappen. Mathematically, it’s him.
---
**Q: What do you think about the NFU not paying out on a green summer's door?**
**A:** I didn’t catch that. Let’s stick to cars.
---
**Q: What’s your favorite talk show?**
**A:** I hate them all. I've done Jonathan Ross, Graham Norton. Didn’t like them.
---
**Q: London or Wabbitstafford?**
**A:** Wabbitstafford.
---
**Q: What’s next for you?**
**A:** You at the back, is this another Range Rover question?
---
**Q: What’s the future of cars post-petrol?**
**A:** There will always be petrol for those who want to drive old cars. The rest can drive their microwaves.
