And Ex-Top Gear presenters Richard Hammond and Jeremy Clarkson were spotted filming for the eagerly anticipated show on the island of Pag in Croatia on Tuesday.

The men looked in great spirits as filming for the show commenced at the ferry dock Zigljen for the day.

While Jeremy got comfortable in a standard vehicle, Richard kept his adrenaline up by getting strapped into the red four by four.

As cameras rolled, it looked like the two motor lovers were in the midst of competition to see who could go quicker.

Jeremy seemed to have taken the lead, with the Audi powering past the go-kart buggy.

James May, who is also a presenter on the show, was nowhere to be seen during the day of filming. 

Speaking about the release of the second season, Clarkson gave some insight while promoting their new website DriveTribe on a Facbook livestream. 

'It will go out this year at the same time the last one went out… whenever that was,' he revealed - hinting at an autumn release after season one premiered in November. 

Filming for the second season hasn't been without its setbacks though, as Hammond reportedly injured himself during a motorbike crash in Africa.

Richard confirmed the accident on DriveTribe, stating: 'Thanks for enquiries re my slight shunt whilst filming for GT. I can confirm that yes, I fell off a bike, many times, in fact and yes, I banged my head and everything else. But life goes on.' 

With footage of the crash expected to appear in the upcoming season, Hammond added: 'Can't tell you more yet about the how and why of it; that's all for later in the year on the show.'

The father of Richard also recently spoke of his relief after his son survived a second 'horror crash' while filming for the TV series in Mozambique.

'He does have a habit of getting involved in things like this, but then that is his job.' 

About the incident, a source told The Sun: 'Richard was travelling quite fast when he came off. It caused instant horror on set. There was a lot of concern.'

Jeremy, who is in a relationship with Lisa Hogan, 46, also added: 'He really did hurt himself quite badly.'  

While last year the show visited the likes of Finland, South Africa and Dubai, this year they will also visit the US and Georgia.
