James May Regrets Picking A Thief For The Grand Tour Driver Auditions

It’s time for another ‘driver audition’ video from The Grand Tour, and this time it’s James May’s turn to pick a candidate.

Previously, Jeremy Clarkson’s suggestion of racing driver Mark Webber and Richard Hammond’s stunt driver have both shown, err, minor flaws in their driving styles, the latter ending up wrecking two brisk Renaults.

James thinks he’s cracked it by taking the old adage ‘drive it like you stole it’ to heart. Yep, he picks a car thief. Who… well, you can probably guess without our help, but he nicks the car.

This all seems to be driving at something specific. All three of the team’s suggestions have thus far done exactly what their careers suggested they would. With that in mind, will the driver they pick eventually be a test driver, then? Someone who evaluates cars for a living? We’re still not betting against Ben Collins…
