At the invitation of Panalux South Africa, we were delighted to join them to supply specialised lighting for the debut of The Grand Tour, which was filmed this past weekend.
Although a lot of the specifics of the show have been shrouded in secrecy, the team did take the time to share a few snapshots of their debut on Twitter:
“Some people came to see our first ever Grand Tour show today. God, I love Johannesburg.” – Jeremy Clarkson.
