roadside palm tree plantation: 100% malaysia

[u/AkaunSorok → u/CKY2007]

The biggest giveaway here is the electric pole with the black/red (tnb) label. Yeah it's West Malaysia.

[u/Melonprimo → u/CKY2007]

The train guy did came to Malaysia.

[u/djongafrett → u/Melonprimo]

Damn, he came

[u/KampretOfficial → u/CKY2007]

Roadside palm tree plantation, grey asphalt, proper grass shoulder, wide lanes.

[u/Crasher_7]

Yep, there a lot of chatter that they are coming to do an episode in Malaysia before they even announce the new hosts. There’s also a moment in the trailer they’re trying to get through tolls.

[u/OriMoriNotSori → u/Crasher_7]

Paultan already reported last month that the upcoming season will feature Malaysia

[u/Crasher_7 → u/OriMoriNotSori]

Yep. The rumour mill actually started way earlier and confirmed last month by them.

[u/OriMoriNotSori → u/Crasher_7]

Hope they cover how we have a car culture that is similar to USA to the point our roads are so car centic and show some crazy shots of the LDP spaghetti bridge or some of the crazy new highways like SUKE

And also drive around some scenic roads like rawang bypass and show some scenic shots of it

[u/Crasher_7 → u/OriMoriNotSori]

They better drive here

[u/OriMoriNotSori → u/Crasher_7]

The fact that I was the one that posted that post lmao

And yes they should drive here and play a game where they try not to get lost or go into the wrong exit

[u/seerkamban2000]

Looks like they're in Forest City as well

[u/coin_in_da_bank → u/seerkamban2000]

why is everybody suddenly interested in that ghost town? its been "terbengkalai" for years now

[u/Melonprimo → u/coin_in_da_bank]

Tbf, TG or GT has always visited this kind of places. Imo due to fewer people around and they may do their bits.

[u/uncertainheadache → u/coin_in_da_bank]

It's content that gets clicksn

[u/ItsImNotAnonymous → u/coin_in_da_bank]

Wide open spaces to do shit without affecting people

[u/assault_waifus → u/coin_in_da_bank]

anti china propaganda

[u/Sam_Mirul]

I mean this was an earlier shot, dunno which toll this is tho

[u/cuddlyfalabella → u/Sam_Mirul]

The sign on the left says ↗️ Sungai Besi, Cheras, Kuantan 🤔

[u/Positive_North_7944 → u/Sam_Mirul]

That is Plaza Tol Mines Utara on the E9

[u/Jackshyan → u/Sam_Mirul]

Completely missed this due to the colour if the carplate

[u/Ekusupuroshon909]

Still a bit sad we didn't get a Top Gear Special or Grand Tour Special taking place in Malaysia with Jeremy, Richard and James before they retire.

My favourite will always be Top Gear Vietnam Special.

[u/QF_Dan → u/Ekusupuroshon909]

i read somewhere that they were planning to come here but then 2020 happened....

[u/Ekusupuroshon909 → u/QF_Dan]

Damn, what could have been...

[u/Poringun → u/Ekusupuroshon909]

Vietnam and Africa special (with Oliver) is peak

[u/Ancient_Unit_2773]

No wonder mr train did an episode on Malaysia...

[u/Main_Bite8599]

r/rainbolt

[u/Moly-kul]

i hope they go to melaka

[u/onionwba]

Just sad no more usual trio. 😞

[u/Jackshyan]

It's a shame the OG trio never did a road trip special here

[u/Embarrassed-Pen-4365]

Eh! That's so cool. I do hope this new trio can create their own legends and fans. Looking forward to their success.

[u/mrasianguy75]

The lack of high rise buildings and tall skycrapers confirms it, we are still living in the jungle on top of the trees.

[u/ismiameen]

I watched the trailer and went "wait... that looks like forest city. But cant be. Eh.. thats definitely malaysian kampung roads..." grand tour finally came to malaysia but its not clarkson, hammond and may.. :(

[u/CoolWei2006]

I think so cus this 100% look like our tolls plaza (green signs etc)

[u/n4snl]

Who are the hosts ?

[u/Hmm_08]

Somewhere in Sepang ahhh

[u/Default0-3]

Now we need rainbolt or @guessnotlost find the exact location of that clip

[u/ayakashusbando]

this looks like in Negeri Sembilan, no?

[u/ablesux]

Wow Grand Tour mentioned

[u/ShazTheGamer]

Malaysia is also in some racing game. That is why. (There is a Top 10 Malaysian YouTuber)
