This episode we are leaving the Automotive towers and going out to the deserts of Botswana to record a special tribute episode to the end of the Clarkson, Hammond and May era. After the release of One for the Road, Chris and Marty look back on the past and present of the work of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, with the impact they have had on car media. This also references the Q&A Clarkson did following a screening of One for the Road at his pub. We also look at the future of the Grand Tour, following Jeremy's comments about what he would like to see. So a little different this time around, usual service to resume next time!If you want to tell us if we’re right, wrong or to share something we should be looking at, get in touch via the following channels:Instagram: @automoviepodTwitter: @AutomoviePodFacebook: AutomoviePodcastEmail: [email protected] YouTube: Automovie Podcast

Chris and Marty list their top 5 favourite cars in movies, discuss why they haven't seen two fo the biggest films of the summer yet, and Marty declares that rubbin' is racin' after watching NASCAR: Full Speed on Netflix.But first, Youtube have upped the stakes in their war on ad-blockers by introducing adverts in line to videos. James May has recorded his last piece of voice over for the Grand Tour, says next special is out in September, and that is probably it for him in the car world. The F1 movie will be out June 2025! Marty has watched NASCAR: Full Speed on Netflix and rates it highly as a gateway to a world of racing he knew little about. For our main discussion this episode, we follow The Smoking Tire podcast in our top 5 movie character cars!In 'What has Henry Catchpole been upto this week?' the Gordon Murray T.50 meets its spiritual predecessor, the McLaren F1. A great film that changed our minds on the T.50. Our episode picks lost all discipline this month, as Autoalex has picked up the cheapest - and possible worst - Ferrari 360 that Jeremy Clarkson once sat in. Equally the Top Dead Centre boys bought a very cheap, Max Power-era show car which can with interesting mods and even more interesting merch. However at the other end of the scale Horsepower Hunters went in-depth on the HWA 190 Evo not restomod in glorious nerdy detail!

Chris and Marty are back for a long discussion of the coolest car-adjacent TV shows, and a deep dive into CGI in films.But first, more Senna news as Netflix announce a dramatic Senna series coming later in the year, and the manufacturer of the replica cars will sell you one too! Have we reached peak Senna? Tom Hartley Jnr has also shown off a collection of race used helmets too, including Senna's Donington '93 helmet!Instead of a review, Chris and Marty discuss cars from TV. What did we miss? What other iconic TV cars are there?In 'What has Henry Catchpole been driving this week?' it's a Blackpool tribute as the TVR Tuscan Speed Six hits 25 years so American can enjoy the smell of fibreglass and resin. For what we have been watching this week - apart from lots of weird and wonderful TV clips with cars in - The Movie Rabbit Hole has started a big conversation about the use of 'no CGI' in movie marketing, and the subsequent VFX breakdowns including Gran Turismo. Is it no big deal, or a very big deal?If you want to tell us if we’re right, wrong or to share something we should be looking at, get in touch via the following channels:Instagram: @automoviepodTwitter: @AutomoviePodFacebook: AutomoviePodcastEmail: [email protected] YouTube: Automovie Podcast
