Jeremy Clarkson Says Report The Grand Tour Will End Not True

A report surfaced in The Daily Mail over the weekend claiming The Grand Tour will end following its third full season on Amazon Prime, but Jeremy Clarkson has now dispelled of the rumors.

The report claimed that Amazon had yet to sign on Clarkson and his co-stars, Richard Hammond and James May, for a fourth season of the show. Filming is currently underway on the third season, which should air later this year. Speaking to The Daily Star, Clarkson said the report is untrue. Additionally, the TV presenter tweeted out that it was “hilarious” anyone believed The Daily Mail’s initial report.

“All I will say for now is that, as usual, the reports are inaccurate,” he said.

What seemed to fuel these rumors is Amazon has yet to approach the show’s producers about a fourth season, leaving some employees wondering what may happen when filming for season three wraps up. Additionally, Clarkson recently took a job as a host of ITV’s Who Wants to be a Millionaire – but filming for that weeklong series will be brief, and won’t get in the way of any Grand Tour obligations.

The Grand Tour producer Andy Wilman said his team is “focusing on series three at the moment,” but didn’t comment on the rumors that the show won’t be renewed for a fourth season. It seems The Daily Mail heard Amazon had yet to approach The Grand Tour team about Season 4, and saw that, along with Clarkson’s new Millionaire gig, as evidence that The Grand Tour’s future may be in trouble. Thankfully that doesn’t appear to be the case, so fans of Clarkson, Hammond and May can rest easy for the time being.

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22.

The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.

Macau Gets Messy with 16-Car Pileup

The Macau Grand Prix is always good for an accident or two or 16— you may remember Audi’s race ending crash last year —and this year’s event didn’t disappoint. It didn’t take long for things to get messy on the tight road circuit. On the opening lap of the qualifying race a 16-car pileup caused the race to be suspended. Things kicked off when Daniel Juncadella hit a wall on the exit of Police bend, one of the tightest parts of the already tight circuit. The following car of Raffaele Marciello was able to avoid the carnage, but Laurens Vanthoor, who was in the upside-down Audi that ended the race last year, could not avoid Juncadella and together they blocked up the road pretty much completely. “I couldn’t see him [Juncadella] at first. Then I saw the car standing still,” Vanthoor told Motorsport. “I tried to brake but it was just understeering and I couldn’t do anything. There’s room for one car there and you’re blind.” Fourteen more cars would eventually crash into the corner c

The First of its Kind: Integrated Engineering Releases Highly-Anticipated IE450T MK6 Golf R Turbo Kit

After two long years of development, the team at Integrated Engineering has finally announced the release of their IE450T kit for the MK6 Golf R. With their turbo kit bolted on right out of the box, the sport AWD hatch is transformed into a 450bhp monster, with hardly any noticeable increase in spool time. In fact, 435 ft-lbs of torque are achieved at all four wheels, at a mere 3300rpm! By now you are probably asking yourself how this is even possible on a 2.0L engine that made nearly half that power from the factory. By employing true twin-scroll technology into the cast turbo manifold and pairing it with a state-of-the-art BorgWarner EFR turbocharger, IE was able to keep spool time at a minimum and bring the fastest-spooling big turbo setup to the market. “We wanted to offer a kit that would dramatically increase the power output without making the car lose its amazing street-friendly drivability,” mentioned one of the IE engineers. We are told the IE450T leaves the car driving jus
