Mumbai, Dec 10 (IANS): Veteran actor Anil Kapoor hosted the season premiere of "The Grand Tour", a British motoring television series for Amazon Video.

"When you are offered the opportunity to host the Season Premiere of 'The Grand Tour', you say 'Yes Please'! Thank you Amazon India for this amazing honour and a very special thanks to all my friends and media personnel who made this an even bigger success," Anil tweeted on Sunday morning.

"The Grand Tour" is presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May and produced by Andy Wilman.

The show's format follows Clarkson, Hammond and May, who travel the globe as the hosts of this Amazon original series. At each location -- including Johannesburg, Lapland, Rotterdam, Stuttgart Whitby, Scotland, California, Nashville and Dubai -- the team films inside their giant travelling tent instead of a studio.

In places around the world, the hosts attempt extraordinary things, like becoming special forces soldiers at a secret training base, taking a powerful car on a test track and going on the traditional gentleman's tour of Italy.
