TG S22 Finale

TG S22 Finale


The extended finale of the 22nd season of Top Gear marks the end of an era for the famed trio; Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, in the form of two never-before-seen clips that served as a fitting send-off for the now-ousted trio. In the first half; the trio are driving classic roadsters on a road trip involving beer, breakdowns, and a hint of drifting. Clarkson drives a Fiat 124 Spyder, Richard Hammond in a MGB GT, and James May in a Peugeot 304 Cabriolet. On the latter half; the boys are driving used leisure activity vehicles for 250 pounds. Clarkson in a Vauxhall Frontera (which is just a rebadged Isuzu Mu/Wizard), Hammond in a very American Jeep Cherokee, and May in a Mitsubishi Shogun Pinin (known as the Pajero iO in JDM). They've undergo rough challenges including a battle with the Stig's Leisure Activity Cousin, and it all ends with a race where the loser will be doing the after-dinner speech.

As Series 22 ends, the years of Clarkson, Hammond, and May as TG presenters are well and truly over and we are going to miss their zany moments from the start.

What's next for them post-TG? Only time will tell...
