Amazon has premiered the first episode of ‘The Grand Tour’, the new show from former BBC Top Gear hosts, amid a host of new promotions including new voices for sat nav app Waze.
The new motoring show from Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond has been subject to months of hype, as Top Gear was previously one of the most popular shows on the BBC worldwide.
The former BBC Top Gear trio signed for Amazon last July in a surprise move that signalled the changing nature of TV as audiences shift online.
The show will be travelling around the world and will have a studio audience on location, similar to the old Top Gear hangar.
As part of promotion for the new show, the hosts have signed up to directions app Waze as voice-overs.
Users can access the voices by downloading the free Waze app for iOs or Android at www.waze.com/get. Then to select the Grand Tour voice option within Waze, go to Settings > Sound > Voice language > Clarkson, Hammond & May.
