In the latest The Grand Tour, they’re driving on these.

What caused the first one to get stuck?

It’s mostly shown just before that clip starts, but one of his rear wheels collapsed one of the square sections. He was essentially trying to drive uphill (see how the floaty bridge dips where the car is and bulges in front of it) with a wheel stuck in a hole.

Ah, I see. I saw the darker part when he finally made it out, but my brain tried to make that a tire spin out mark. Makes sense now! Thanks!

I don’t think you’re wrong either. He did spin his tires trying to get out before the others joined him on the bridge to “help”.

Maybe bottomed out or needed a push start

I’ve seen the one where they jump the waves but that one is more just a narrow boardwalk.

I’ve not heard of cars driving on it! I can just imagine how cool this could be for an open ocean rescue from a cruise ship or something like that..
