However, it is usually Richard who is the one in the danger zone, as is evident from his previous work on The Grand Tour and Top Gear.
Infamously, Richard’s biggest crash occurred in 2006 while driving 320mph in a jet-powered car named the Vampire dragster.
Viewers of Top Gear watched in horror as one of the tyres failed and caused the Vampire to lose control, putting Richard in serious danger.
The car was destroyed and Richard was air-lifted to hospital after sustaining a serious brain injury.

Despite the horrific experience, Richard continued to film the motor shows and take on all the risky challenges that were thrown at him.
When asked whether he has ever said no to any of the stunts, Richard said: “No, I don’t think we have, ever.
“There were never stunts that went wrong. I mean, driving at 320mph brings risks, but nobody knew the tyre was going to go and fall off a mountain.
“That didn’t go down well.
He said: “If you think about it, if you go off on holiday with your mates, is enough going to happen to fill a 90-minute show? Probably not; and it’s the same with us.
“Although, because we are weird and lucky, it does.
“It’s like when we did The Grand Tour Scotland special, Jeremy’s caravan came unhinged and I sank a fishing boat.
“None of those were planned, they just happened.”
He concluded that they are “lucky” that they have a great crew to capture everything on film.
Richard praised: “We can go away and have the best adventure in the world but if nobody is there to film it, what’s the point.”
