It's been a long Top Gear farewell for Jeremy Clarkson but, two weeks on from his final episode airing, the host has taken his final lap of the track. He chose to share it with some important passengers, inviting Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason and racing driver Marino Franchitti for a rather serious-looking final spin around Hammerhead, Bentley Bend, Gambon Corner and the Follow-Through.

Clarkson – who was axed from the BBC2 show back in March after his infamous "fracas" – made his final Top Gear appearance on 28th June in pre-recorded material, introduced by his departing co-hosts Richard Hammond and James May.

The trio's future has been the subject of intense speculation over the past few months with rumours of a new series on ITV or a move to an on-demand service like Netflix.
