Title: Idris Elba - speed on TV tonight
Post by: Varche on 27 December 2013, 14:03:12: maybe there has been a dearth of interesting progs on UK TV over Xmas but I enjoyed Part one last night.
Some interesting stuff like the worlds biggest abandoned factory is the Packard plant. In its hey day it employed over 100,000 people. Many of the bootlegger drivers went on to be racing drivers. And so on.

Part 2 tonight.

in racing its not called adrenaline its called the red mist and normally descends,on the driver, 10 minutes before the end of a days testing,when he's trying to out do his team mate, and ends with one or both cars needing an all-nighter,to get them ready for the next day..or its when said driver has been sat behind another car for two laps,and goes for the charge,and late braking,,normally same out come....
