Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCurrently there are four main classes, each of which has several sub-classes, where drivers must achieve target speeds between 95 and 180 mph (152.888 and 289.682 km/h). The classes specify safety equipment levels required for cars, drivers and navigators, and a maximum "Tech Speed", which may never be exceeded. Radar traps are hidden along the course to enforce this rule. There is also a fifth 'Unlimited Class', in which drivers compete to set the fastest possible time over the course, with no maximum speed restrictions.

Featured review
Great show, not going stale.
More of the same from Guy Martin's Speed series.. which is good news for Martin fans. Lots of enthusiasm, technical innovation and eye-gouging speed. Some of Guy's challenges are a little off beat, but this one has him in his element, putting a custom built engine into his own transit van, then taking it off for a go at a world renown road race.
Only criticism is, Guy is a little hands-off on his van rebuild, and there's a little bit of off-topic stuff happening to fill up the time. Just a little bit of filler, but still one of Martin's best.
