could be worth a watch. Hope its not too F1 centric.
Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.

The blurb says:
Quote from: BBC
The glory days of British motor racing are celebrated in this sleek archive series, which buffs up some of the BBC's most memorable coverage from the sport's earliest days. The opening programme concentrates on the 1950s, when British drivers Stirling Moss and Mike Hawthorn took on the dominance of the great Argentinian driver, Fangio - all presided over by the chummy commentating presence of Raymond Baxter, fresh from a fight of his own as a Spitfire pilot in World War II. From track to paddock to a changing Britain beyond, and driven by a powerful period soundtrack, this is Formula One's 'Rock 'n' Roll Years'

I'll go for historic Grand Prix coverage over the current F1. But I hope the series has the likes of Rallycross and bikes aswell
Wooosh!!!!
