The keen-eyed may spot that the McLaren 720S in the studio shots has an odd stance. That's because it was accidentally filmed with the nose lift function activated. Normally this is just for going over speed bumps, not posing for cameras.
The Grand Tour awards are called the Nigels because the production team had the cards made up for something else that never happened and it seemed a shame to waste them. True fact!
After recording this show, James May got to drive a McLaren 720S. He described the seat controls as 'completely logical'.
Another McLaren nerd fact; the 720S was designed and engineered virtually. They didn't build a physical prototype until just 11 months before the car was revealed.
The plane at the end of the completely unscripted film is a Canadair CL-415, a purpose-built fire fighting aircraft from Canada.
