It was only fake insofar as a lot of the ad lib bits were scripted, but that only became obvious after several series, when the format was getting tired and, even then, the whole team (front of camera and behind) were good enough to carry it along.
I watched the rerun tonight and it's so clearly a rehash, with a team that just can't cut it.
1. High performance estates, put through a series of tests? That was done with the M5 Touring Vs E55 AMG years ago, not forgetting the source of the Nile special.
2. AWD getting to the top of a mountain, including marsh land, rocks and land anchors? Clarkson driving the then new Discovery up a Scottish mountain in 2004 (even then the tree huggers got very exercised about him churning up their peat bogs) and then leaving it there because he went home by helicopter and accidentally took the keys with him............ho, ho, ho
To be honest, the present team have made a decent fist of it, having gotten rid of the ginger whinger, but it still seems like they've been shoehorned together; even after 3 series, only MLB shows any experience of knowing how TV really works, especially when it comes to breaking the fourth wall, but there's no proper chemistry.
I do have some hope for next year's Paddy McGuiness/Freddy Flintoff retread, but only if they do something really new, which will be difficult at best. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........

I like how in Donkland, the sacking of Clarkson was because they need to make it PC, nothing to do with him actually assaulting someone

They were re-doing stuff when Clarkson and Co. were still there and they're doing the same thing on the Grand Tour. They can only be original for so long, now its mainly about what 'twists' they decide to go with compared to what they've done previously.

Clarkson was on a final warning before that wasn't he? Yes it was a big thing he got sacked for but it could have easily been something minor: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-27266102
