CAR junkies Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are set to return with a brand new series of their show The Grand Tour, but with a twist.

The trio of motor experts will appear in the first of a series of specials called The Grand Tour: Seamen.

They have traded the road for the high seas as they are set to make an astonishing 5oo-mile journey via the Mekong delta from Siem Reap in Cambodia to Vung Tau in Vietnam.

The presenters will be racing each other to the finish line in their respective vehicles fit for taking on the ocean.

Along with some woeful puns, viewers can expect to be entertained by Clarkson driving a revitalised Vietnam war-era PBR (Patrol Boat River).

Clarkson's subordinates Richard Hammond, 49, will be seen enjoying some time on a speedboat and James May takes control of a wooden 1939 river cruiser.

56-year-old May loathed his experienced on the ancient boat saying: "I thought it would be very tranquil and like a lovely boating holiday but it didnt work out like that at all. It was utter misery."

Filming took place in Cambodia and Vietnam and conditions proved to be very challenging for the three presenters as they were caught in storms and they attempted to navigate the Mekong River system, which has been subject to droughts.

We did talk about the issue, mainly about getting stuck, because the big lake that we thought we would go charging across in our boats", James told the iPaper.

"We sort of limped across it constantly hitting the bottom. It should have been eight times the area it was.

49-year-old Richard Hammond suffered the most out of the three, catching bacterial skin infection cellulitis while filming.

He explained earlier this month: "It bloody hurts."

"I got it from climbing into the water and then I realised my legs were hurting. My feet were very red and it went through my legs, the other two took the p**s non-stop."

Jeremy told the Sunday Times that he believes he encountered a graphic demonstration of global warming that he found genuinely alarming.

The former Top Gear presenter has certainly kept himself busy since leaving the show in 2015.

Along with his co-presenters on the show Richard Hammond and James May began to present The Grand Tour in 2016.

Clarkson, 59, became the presenter of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire for its newest series after he replaced Chris Tarrant.

The car expert confirmed that the newest series of the Amazon Prime show would be moving away from the thrills and spills of racing high-speed cars and instead, endeavour to document the significant effects of climate change is having on Cambodia and Vietnam.

Richard Hammond co-presented Top Gear from its inception to 2015 when he left along with Richard Hammond and James May.

He co-owns a production company W. Chump and Sons, who produce The Grand Tour.

The 49-year-old was involved in a car accident in 2006, suffering a serious brain injury.

According to The Mirror, at one point he did not even recognise his own wife, but thankfully he made a full recovery.

James co-presented Top gear with Jeremy and Richard from 2003.

He once wrote a weekly column in the motoring section of The Telegraph from 2003 to 2011.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain this week ahead of the start of The Grand Tour's newest series, May spoke of how he narrowly escaped death in plane crash.

"I was being overconfident in strong crosswinds in a light aircraft and I thought I can sort this out and get it back but I was wrong, so it ended upside down."

After slightly injuring his knees, May managed to escape further harm.
