Jeremy Clarkson has revealed one of the very few times that he was frightened while driving a car.
The 64-year-old’s focus is now on agriculture rather than motoring these days with the large success of his series Clarkson’s Farm on Amazon Prime.
Set at Diddly Squat Farm, Mr Clarkson’s own Oxfordshire farm in Chadlington, the hit Prime Video show documents day-to-day life as a farmer.
Yet the former Top Gear host still likes to keep his eye on races across the world with the Belgian Grand Prix recently being on his watch list.

I do. One of the very few times I was frightened in a car

Whilst watching the race, Mr Clarkson took to social media platform X and remarked: “Spa is a great track to watch a race but I’m with Lando. I sort of hate driving round it.”
A fan then referenced Top Gear and replied: “Still have PTSD from driving the McLaren P1?”
Mr Clarkson then came back to the commenter with a revealing response which confirmed that the experience had left him scared.
“I do. One of the very few times I was frightened in a car,” he said.

A release date has not yet been revealed for the new episodes but after several social media teasers, it is expected that they will be available to stream at some point next year.
