[edit] Information

Actor Idris Elba charts the origins and history of underground racing and examines how a love of speed has shaped the cars of today. Part 1. Idris travels from his childhood home in east London to 'Motor City' - Detroit - and then on to New Jersey, where he delves into the history of the first boy racers and explores how the quest for high speed has shaped professional motorsport and popular culture. Part 2. Idris examines the history of the rallying Mini and gets to grips with the combination of technology and skill involved in driving at a professional level. He also discovers that the underground driving craze of drifting, which began in Japan, has become the fastest growing motorsport in Europe - a passion for skill and handling has changed the way Europeans race. Idris then fulfils a personal ambition as he gets behind the wheel of a full-spec rally car and takes on a genuine Finnish rally course.
