My late Grandmother would be faster than Button.

Absolutely brilliant programme. Should have made a series from it rather than one programme.  8)
Guy looked very impressive for a novice. The car he drove was a beautiful example of old style engineering as opposed to the computers on wheels they drive nowadays.

Giving away and 150 BHP to the Turbo 1.5 litre cars of the day. I remember the 6 wheel F1 cars from the seventies that never quite caught on.

There were a few factual inaccuracies on the programme and the "giving away 150bhp" was one of them. The Cosworth DFV was around 500bhp and the 1.5 litre turbos were a lot more than 650.
It also mentioned several times that the car Button was driving never got to race because FISA banned four wheel drive before the first race.
Four wheel drive was already banned. It was six wheel cars that got banned, preventing it from ever racing.
Or that's how I remember it anyway. My short term memory is terrible but my long term memory for useless information is quite good.  ::)

Ive read figures of 1500bhp in qualy trim for the BMW turbo engine. They had single lap tyres and single lap engines in those days.
