Segments [ ]

Hammond and Clarkson embark on a tour of Europe's oldest motorsport hotspots in a pair of reborn sports cars from the fifties. However, their fun is interrupted by the arrival of May, who asserts that the modern Honda Civic Type R he has bought is better in every way.

Track Test [ ]

Clarkson finally gets to put the new Ford GT around the Eboladrome following the Niagara Falls Race . While he once again praises the speed, handling, excitement and drama, he criticises the V6 Engine as well as it's lack of character. At the Eaton, the GT becomes the third fastest car around the Eboladrome with a time of 1:17.6, but is still slower than the cheaper and more exciting Lamborghini Huracan Performante.

Conversation Street [ ]

Sting: Clarkson and Hammond shoot at each other while May has a knife across his head.

Clarkson mentions that his hometown of Doncaster has come up with names for two of the town's new snowploughs. He also talks about Formula E's publicity shot of an electric race car competing with a cheetah. The presenters then converse on the Lamborghini Urus and start disagreeing on its name. Clarkson brings up Ford's plans to release a hybrid version of the F-150 pickup truck, despite the fact that F-150 fuel consumption is ranked 28th among their buying consideration.

Celebrity Face Off [ ]

Stewart Copeland from The Police loses with a time of 1:24.2 against Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason's 1:21.3 who becomes the "Fastest Drummer from a band beginning with 'P'" face off this week.

OVERVIEW The Pinnacle of Honda Factory Performance Driven by our relentless determination to keep improving, we not only created the most powerful Civic ever, but also the most agile. And with its 4-mode drive system—including +R, Individual, Sport, and Comfort modes—you can instantly tune it for the track or the street.

POWERTRAIN Turbocharged Engine With a turbocharged and intercooled 2.0-liter VTEC® engine that delivers 315 horsepower * and 310 pound-feet of torque, * the Civic Type R is not only highly responsive, but also boasts an impressive power-weight ratio.

POWERTRAIN 6-Speed Manual Transmission For better balance while braking into corners, the 6-speed manual transmission features rev-match control, which keeps engine and vehicle speeds in sync during downshifting. A Civic Type R-exclusive shift link mechanism makes shifting even smoother.

POWERTRAIN Triple-Outlet Exhaust Whether you’re ripping down a straightaway on the track or cruising through the city, the center-mounted triple-outlet exhaust’s Active Exhaust Valve strikes the perfect chord. Each mode of the 4-mode drive system features its own specially tuned exhaust note.

SUSPENSION Dual-Axis Front Suspension Accelerate through corners with maximum confidence, thanks to the unique dual-axis MacPherson strut front suspension that helps minimize torque steer and deliver precise steering response.

SUSPENSION Multi-Link Rear Suspension With high-rigidity components, the rear suspension offers stability and support for a linear handling response.

SUSPENSION Adaptive Damper System As you steer through corners, the adaptive damper system helps control roll and pitch to give you a uniform, direct steering feel. With the 4-mode drive system, you can instantly tune the dampers for performance or comfort.

HANDLING Brembo® Front Brake Calipers Renowned for their braking performance and lightweight construction, four-piston Brembo® * calipers complement the13.8 inch two-piece front rotors for optimal stopping power.

HANDLING Limited-Slip Differential A helical limited-slip differential helps minimize front-wheel slippage for more precise steering when accelerating and cornering.

HANDLING Electric Power Steering The dual-pinion, variable-ratio electric power steering offers confidence at high speeds and a precise feel at low speeds. And with the 4-mode drive system, you can instantly tune the steering to your drive, from +R mode at the track to Comfort mode on the highway.

HANDLING Michelin® Pilot® Sport 4 S Tires Measuring 265 mm wide—20 mm wider than the previous-generation Civic Type R tires—the Michelin® Pilot® Sport 4 S * tires provide improved grip while cornering.

HANDLING Lightweight Components Every ounce counts on the track, which is why virtually every inch of the Civic Type R features lightweight components, from the flywheel and crankshaft to the resin-made hatch, aluminum hood, and sport seats.

Exterior & Interior

OVERVIEW Never Restrained Civic performance has never looked better. The Civic Type R features sleek, aerodynamic styling and a performance-focused cockpit, with enhanced visibility and a track-ready Driver Information Interface.

AERODYNAMICS Engine and Brake Cooling A 48% larger grille opening than the previous-generation Civic Type R and a wide, low hood vent help maximize engine cooling while minimizing airflow resistance. Optimized brake ducts help keep front brakes cooler through multiple laps of circuit driving.

AERODYNAMICS Stability Side underbody spoilers, front fender outlets, and integrated rear fenders help guide airflow and maintain consistent air pressure around the wheels for optimal stability in and out of turns.

AERODYNAMICS Downforce The track-tested rear spoiler and diffuser designs, including die-cast aluminum wing stays, help increase downforce and control air resistance.

DESIGN 19-Inch Matte-Black Wheels Lightweight and highly rigid, the aluminum alloy wheels feature a reverse rim design to enhance stability at high speeds.

DESIGN Grille In addition to the Type R symbol and red H-badge that signify the connection to our performance heritage, the sleek grille features gloss-black accents that coordinate with the rear spoiler and diffuser to carve out a unique identity.

DESIGN Hatch The all-resin hatch is 20 percent lighter than a conventional steel hatch, and provides a wide opening for loading your gear into the cargo area.

COCKPIT Visibility The Civic Type R was built to create wide sightlines and minimize blind spots. The hood, side mirrors, fenders, and rear spoiler are all designed to promote visibility and awareness of your vehicle’s position on the track or the road.

COCKPIT Driver Information Interface With the 4-mode drive system, you can customize the all-digital display to see critical data in your line of sight. In +R mode, an LED shift light above the interface helps you gauge shift points without taking your eyes off the track.

COCKPIT Sport Seats Heavily bolstered to help keep you in place during hard cornering, the enhanced sport front seats are also designed to give you better maneuverability for steering and shifting.

COCKPIT Sport Pedals Sport pedals give you a firm foothold and add a bold, racing-inspired detail to the cockpit.

COCKPIT Serial Plate Every Civic Type R is unique, with an individually numbered serial plate to mark its place in the limited production run.

Music | nhl draft: sharks select macklin celebrini no. 1 overall as new era begins, music | review: iconic r&b acts combine forces to kick off tour in grand fashion, swv, xscape launched queens of r&b tour in concord.

And the show turned out to be as great, and maybe even better, than fans could have hoped for, as the two trios mixed and matched songs — and, most wonderfully, occasionally shared vocals — during the course of a thoroughly entertaining co-headlining set that touched on (at least parts of) some 30 songs.

Fans who are planning to catch this tour — also featuring fellow ’90s R&B favorites Mya, 702 and Total — as it continues through other parts of the country, before winding to a close at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on Aug. 18, should expect to have a ball.

That’s because, only one night into the run, this SWV-Xscape package is shaping up to be the R&B roadshow to beat in 2024 .

One could feel the energy of the occasion well before they got to the Pavilion, as cars inched along Kirker Pass Road and passengers prepped for the show with shared laughter, smiles and passionate vocal work. Even though the traffic was horrendous, causing the Pavilion to use its overflow parking and shuttle service, people still seemed to be in a great mood (even though, in many cases, it caused them to miss some/many of the acts who were listed lower on the bill).

Yet, SWV and Xscape would make dealing with the traffic and parking issues feel very much worthwhile as they two acts combined for a performance that felt so different — and so much more vibrant — then what we often get with co-headlining treks.

Instead of the usual approach of the top two artists simply putting on their own sets of music — and perhaps rotating who gets to close the show each night — these two iconic R&B trios completely sewed their sets together and constantly volleyed the spotlight between them.

Xscape — featuring Kandi Burruss, Tameka “Tiny” Harris and Tamika Scott — would appear for a few minutes, running through such favorites as “Feels So Good,” “Can’t Hang” and “Keep On, Keepin’ On.” Then SWV — consisting of  Tamara “Taj” George, Cheryl “Coko” Gamble and Leanne “Lelee” Lyons — would pop up and croon through the likes of “I’m So Into You” and “Right Here.”

Of course, this kind of a show doesn’t work — at all — if the groups don’t jell well onstage. Fortunately, SWV and Xscape songs flow together like a masterful ’90s mixtape and, just as importantly, the two teams seem to like each other and enjoy combining forces.

It’s the latter that may surprise viewers of the 2023’s “SWV & Xscape: The Queens of R&B,” a reality TV mini-series on the Bravo channel that focused on the two acts as they prepped for a big tour. The two sides had a massive falling out during the show — fueled by the regular celebrity trappings of ego and trash talk — which left viewers with the impression that SWV and Xscape probably wouldn’t be sending each other Christmas cards anytime soon, let alone hitting the road together.

The two sides eventually talked things out, clearing the air as well as the runway to embarking on the road with the Queens of R&B Tour in 2024.

The result is that fans can now witness a show that has so much going for it — from a two-level stage that offers up plenty of zippy video elements to an energetic dance team to a steady supply of cool wardrobe changes.

Yet, none of that is nearly as important as the amazing vocal work that you get to hear during the course of the set. All six of star vocalists sound great, nicely conveying the same type of emotion and conviction that fans first enjoyed way back on their respective debut albums (Xscape’s “Hummin’ Comin’ at ‘Cha” in 1993, SWV’s “It’s About Time” in 1992).

They sounded terrific in their own individual spotlights, as Xscape relived such triumphs as “Who Can I Run To” and “My Little Secret” and SWV brought back the likes of “Right Here” and “You’re Always on My Mind.”

Yet, the most memorable moments came when the two vocal crews took the stage together, with six voices joining in glorious harmony to lift up 13,000 fans on the Clark sisters powerful gospel number “You Brought the Sunshine (Into My Life),” the gorgeous Xscape ballad “The Arms of the One Who Loves You” and the fun show-closing cover of Lil’ Kim’s “Not Tonight (Ladies Night Remix).”

Setlist: 1. “Can We” 2. “Feels So Good” 3. “Can’t Hang” 4. “Keep On, Keepin’ On” 5. “I’m So Into You” 6. “Right Here” 7. “Love on My Mind” 8 “What’s Up” 9. “Don’t Think I’m Not” 10. “You’re the One” 11. “You’re Always on My Mind” 12. “Use Your Heart” 13. “My Little Secret” 14. “Hold On” 15. “The Arms of the One Who Loves You” 16. “Is My Living in Vain” 17. “You Brought the Sunshine (Into My Life)” 18. “It’s About Time” 19. “Downtown” 20. “Softest Place on Earth” 21. “Do You Want To” 22. “If Only You Knew” 23. “Tonight” 24. “Rain” 25. “Who Can I Run To” 26. “Weak” 27. “Anything” 28. “Understanding” 29. “Just Kicking It” 30. “Not Tonight (Ladies Night Remix)”

Jeremy Clarkson Confirms The Grand Tour’s Final Episode on Amazon Prime

TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson has confirmed the end of The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime after next year. This announcement marks the conclusion of a series beloved by fans since its inception in 2016.

Key Takeaways:

• End of The Grand Tour: Jeremy Clarkson, along with co-presenters Richard Hammond and James May , will no longer film new series of The Grand Tour after next year, following a decision by Amazon Prime’s executives. This marks the end of a popular show that started in 2016 and quickly garnered a devoted fanbase.
• Fan Reactions and Future Prospects: Fans expressed their disappointment and gratitude on social media, reflecting on the impact the show had on their lives. Despite the end of this era, there’s speculation that Amazon Prime may revive The Grand Tour with new hosts, a move reportedly welcomed by the current presenters.
• Clarkson’s Future Endeavours: Clarkson mentioned a focus on his other project, ‘Clarkson’s Farm’, and there are two more special episodes of The Grand Tour slated for release, featuring travels to Mauritania and Zimbabwe.

TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson, renowned for his role in the popular car show The Grand Tour alongside Richard Hammond and James May, has recently spoken about the future of the series. The show, which began on Amazon Prime in 2016, has been a fan favourite but will see no further series after next year. This decision, made by the streaming platform’s bosses, brings an end to a series that has been both entertaining and influential for car enthusiasts.

Clarkson shared his thoughts on Instagram, stating:

“Been a busy day. No more Grand Tour after next year but a LOT more Clarkson’s Farm. Which, this evening, is looking extremely lovely.”

This post quickly became a hub for fans to express their feelings about the series ending. The emotional reactions ranged from sadness over the show’s conclusion to appreciation for the years of entertainment it provided.

One fan commented:

“Please start a podcast with the three of you, it can just be called the news and you rant for an hour about cars.”

Others expressed their gratitude:

“The end of Clarkson, Hammond and May in whatever it’s called is a sad day. Thank you for everything you did for petrolheads. And now farmheads!”

The influence of the trio was evident in another fan’s words:

“It’s really nice coming to the comments and seeing how these 3 impacted the lives of so many. These lads got me through countless dark times with laughter and endless banter. We all knew the day was coming, and the truest of fans will wish you, Hammond, May, and indeed all of the crew that made the magic happen the absolute best in the next stage. Thank you for inspiring countless enthusiasts around the world.”

Despite Clarkson’s announcement, there’s talk that Amazon Prime might continue The Grand Tour with new hosts. An insider revealed:

“It’s a surprising decision and everyone realises it very much marks the end of an era for the three presenters.”

This potential revival aligns with the presenters’ acceptance of passing the torch to a new generation.

“The Grand Tour is one of Prime Video’s most watched shows and Jeremy, James and Richard have a devoted following. But the guys have made no bones about the fact they’re all advancing in years and they have lots of other projects to pursue,” a source informed The Sun. “They just felt like the time was right and wanted to go out on a high when the show remained popular.”

As fans prepare to bid farewell to this iconic trio, they can look forward to two more special episodes of The Grand Tour, showcasing the team’s adventures in Mauritania and Zimbabwe. This farewell follows their departure from Top Gear in 2015, after a disagreement with producers.
