Celebrity Face Off was the Celebrity Segment introduced in Series 2 of The Grand Tour. Two celebrities who "are related in some way" were interviewed by Clarkson in the Tent and then headed to The Enstone Track, where they set lap times in a Jaguar F-Type, before it was revealed which Celebrity was faster.
It is considered The Grand Tour's equivalent to Top Gear's Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car segment.

Trivia[]
- Although this segment was more popular than Celebrity Brain Crash, it was dropped for Series 3, to dedicate more time for films.
- In the first quarter of Series 3 Clarkson often made jokes stating they would place Adrian Chiles against Howard from the Halifax advert to find "The fastest person that you don't here from anymore".
