With Chris Evans having spectacularly quit Top Gear after hosting for a single season, attention has turned to the show’s previous hosts - Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May - and their new show, The Grand Tour.

The show, which will launch on Amazon Prime later this year, is being filmed in various spots around the world, the first of which will be in Johannesburg, South Africa. If that sounds a little too far to travel, UK needn’t worry, as the trio will also be filming a show over here.

A prize draw has been launched, the prize of which is a place to attend the filming and meet the presenters after; enter here, the deadline is the 12 July.

While a ticket ballot was opened for the Johannesburg show, no such thing has been opened in the UK, making the prize draw the only way to get tickets at present. The location and date of filming have yet to be announced.

Clarkson also announced on Twitter the trio will be filming in the piazza Dei Signori in Vicenza, Italy.

Meanwhile, the BBC have announced they have no plans to replace Chris Evans on Top Gear, many concluding Matt LeBlanc will take over as the show’s primary host.
