Freddie Hunt joins the presenting team for Car & Country: Rush

Freddie Hunt, professional racer, and son of 1976 F1 World Champion James Hunt has joined the presenting team for the adventure travel and car series Car & Country: Rush. He will co-host alongside current presenters Deepak Narendran and Ashique Thahir for episode 7, set on location in Scotland, which is now available via Amazon Prime Video.

To coincide with Freddie joining the team, the programme has been renamed from Car & Country to Car & Country: Rush.

Car & Country: Rush, available via Amazon Prime Video as part of the Prime Video Direct Content Submission Portal, has a unique programming format focusing on discovering the sights, sounds and cultures of travel destinations around the globe. Each episode features its presenters travelling in spectacular cars as they journey from place to place.

Freddie Hunt’s adventure begins in the Scottish Highlands, where he becomes part of the intrepid trio and experiences the unpredictable and cruel Scottish winter from climbing in rugged mountains to white water rafting during a snow storm.

To drive through the snow, mud, rocky hills and the challenges of rough terrain abundant in the Highlands, the team use the legendary original Land Rover Defender and its descendants the all-new Defender.

“I’m so pleased to be a presenter on Car & Country. Before I was contacted about it I didn’t know much about the series but as I learned more I got really excited. It’s such a cool series. We’ve shot one episode so far, in Scotland, which apart from the cold was a week of lots of fun. I can’t wait for the next episode!” said Freddie.

“Having Freddie in the show adds a whole new element to Car & Country. We can’t wait for people to see our Scottish trip now it’s available”, added Deepak.

For those who want to get out and explore the wilds of Scotland, then join Freddie, Deepk and Ashique on a roadtrip you won’t forget.

Car & Country: Rush, episode 7, is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
