They ended it at the supposed place of the first tour, but Google and my memory would have said that the Winter Olympics racing on ice was the first in season 7 and then the USA special in seasons 9..

Do they not count these as they may have been mixed in with the standard format, where the first totally full length special was in Botswana

I always thought the North Pole was the first proper one, but I suppose that was Hammond on a sled and May and Clarkson sharing a car.

That was also season 9 but after the US special

Hammond and his Wife have split, I would imagine all the travel and time away from home took a toll in the end.

Or spending more time together now has taken its toll.

Probably lack of money / not being g able to provide the same lifestyle any more

28 years together. Something bad must have happened. We all have our ups and downs and temptations but that's all part of being in a long term relationship.

More likely this...

I worked out of town with a lot of squaddies who basically said their marriage depending on them being away 6 months of the year lol.
