James May, Richard Hammond and Jeremy Clarkson of Amazon Prime's "The Grand Tour" will all be flying to South Africa to shoot their first live audience. Johannesburg will be their latest stop in the succession of travels involved in the show to bring it to audiences across the globe. Meanwhile, the trio's upcoming motoring series garnered a sponsorship deal with DHL and had an oddly fun way to celebrate it.

"The Grand Tour" will be brought to South Africa because of the three presenters' popularity in the region. Fans can join a draw through which they can win tickets to the set in South Africa plus travel fare and accommodation expenses. What fans have to do is to share a photo or a video clip featuring the strangest place where they have set up a tent. The entries to the draw will also serve to give "The Grand Tour" production ideas on where else to raise its tent, which is home to the show's filming most of the time.

Meanwhile, "The Grand Tour" landed a sponsorship arrangement with the logistics firm DHL. In celebration of the support and transportation services they earn from DHL, "The Grand Tour" hosts took a video of Clarkson's acceptance and completion of the fun challenge to assemble a DHL No. 4 Flat Pack box. The clip, showing Clarkson building a DHL box and seemingly having a more difficult time than dealing with vehicles as an expert, has been attracting millions of viewers.

"The Grand Tour" presenters May, Hammond and Clarkson are expected to be roaming around the world to film the show's episodes. This country-hopping and globe-trotting fashion is fundamentally the reason why the show is named "The Grand Tour." As per updates on the show's official Facebook page, the trio already went to Portugal, Germany, Barbados and North Africa for filming.

"The Grand Tour" will be available toward the end of the year on Amazon Prime, and fans will have to sign up to the video streaming service to be able to have access to the show.
