The boys are back with a brand new episode of The Grand Tour, and this time they are headed to Mauritania for their penultimate adventure.

In an outing they’ll be sure to remember, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May will follow in the footsteps of the legendary Paris-Dakar rally in The Sand Job. But instead of travelling in Dakar racers, the boys will be completing their journey in cheap modified sports cars!

Starting off with the world’s longest train, the trio will be getting up to all sorts, from tackling the Sahara to perilous river crossings – and fans are undoubtedly in for a treat.

So, what else can viewers expect from The Grand Tour: The Sand Job? Read on to find out everything we know so far.

When will the next episode of The Grand Tour be released?

The next instalment of The Grand Tour will be available to watch on Friday 16th February on Prime Video.

The Grand Tour locations

The trio have previously filmed in far-flung locations such as Colombia, Vietnam and Switzerland – and next time will be no different. 

The newest instalment will see the trio head back to Africa, as they have this time filmed the show in Mauritiana, a country in the Northwest of the continent.

Speaking of the location, Clarkson said: “I love deserts, so I’ve always wanted to do the Sahara, but it’s difficult to go there; you can’t go to Mali or Libya or Algeria or Chad. You can’t go to the top of Nigeria.

“And then it was really a question of finding the most inappropriate cars for trans-Sahara travel, and I think we did a pretty good job on that.”
