Was having a look on iplayer earlier and spotted this excellent two part series. Puts Topgear to shame and really jealous of some of the cars he gets to drive as well as meeting some of motorsport royalty.

    It was a good insight into some motorsports, well worth watching.

    It was good but who the hell is Idris Elba? I missed the first few minutes when they probably introduced him.
    I don't think it puts Top Gear to shame, it's a very different programme aimed at a different audience.

    He's an actor. Played Luther in Luther. I believe he was in The Wire too (not seen it), and he's in the new mandella film, amongst other things.
  • Really enjoyed it and a very interesting watch.
    Bikes are OK, I guess... :-)
