For their penultimate adventure, Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond head to Africa and it\u2019ll no doubt be an outing to remember.<\/p>\n

The Grand Tour: Sand Job will see the trip head to the remote African country of Mauritania, where they follow in the footsteps of the Paris-Dakar rally \u2013 but, of course, there is a twist.<\/p>\n

The group must complete their journey in cheap modified sports cars instead of bespoke Dakar racers, and their journey begins with the world\u2019s longest train.<\/p>\n

Battling scorching temperatures and unforgiving sand terrain, filming this special was a true test for both the presenters and their cars.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The episode will be available to watch on Prime Video on Friday 16th February<\/strong>, and comes after the news that Jeremy Clarkson has made the decision to quit the series<\/a>.<\/p>

In an interview with The Times<\/a>, Clarkson explained that his reason for leaving the show was largely down to having already \u201cdone everything you can do\u201d when it comes to cars.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI\u2019ve driven cars higher than anyone else and further north than anyone else. We\u2019ve done everything you can do with a car. When we had meetings about what to do next, people just threw their arms in the air.\u201d<\/p>\n
