About This Program

The programme brings together three well‑known presenters, each tackling a separate automotive assignment. It’s structured as a series of stand‑alone pieces, allowing the hosts to focus on distinct aspects of car culture while keeping the overall tone light and engaging. In the first segment, Paddy McGuinness gives his take on the Aston Martin Victor, offering a straightforward review of the model. The second follows former cricketer Freddie Flintoff as he sets out to become a racing driver, documenting his efforts to break into the sport. The final part sees Chris Harris investigate the story behind the DeLorean, tracing its origins and legacy. The show therefore covers a modern super‑car appraisal, a personal quest to master racing, and a historical look at an iconic vehicle. Each piece is presented in its own style, ranging from on‑track testing to archival research, but all share a common focus on cars and the people drawn to them. By mixing a contemporary review, a career‑changing challenge and a deep‑dive into automotive history, the programme offers viewers a varied snapshot of the motoring world, highlighting both present‑day excitement and the enduring fascination with classic machines.
