The Sand Job sees the former Top Gear trio attempt to follow part of the route of the famous Dakar Rally, a cross-country off-road endurance race that historically ran from Paris to Dakar (though, since 2009, has seen various other routes in places around the world).

Driving in modified sports cars, the trio will try to cross the Sahara using only their wits and the gear they bring with them, in an attempt to reach Dakar in Senegal.

The third special episode of the fifth season of The Grand Tour, Sand Job follows Eurocrash and A Scandi Flick as the first of the trio outside Europe (and only the second special in Africa so far). So here's how to watch the new feature-length special.

How to watch The Grand Tour: Sand Job

You can watch The Grand Tour: Sand Job on the Amazon-owned streaming service Prime Video. As with all TGT, it's an original production for the streamer.

That does mean that you can watch all of the previous specials using Prime Video too, so this method stands for past and also future installments.

Prime Video is considered a 'perk' of an Amazon Prime subscription, so whether you pay for the next-day shopping, music or Kindle reading, you've got access to Prime Video too.

An Amazon Prime subscription costs $14.99 / £8.99 per month or $139 / £95 per year, though at those prices, Prime Video movies and shows have ads in them. You have to pay $2.99 / £2.99 extra per month if you don't want to see commercials, and here's how to remove ads from Prime Video.
