[Beefmeister]

Looking forward to this over Xmas as I think Elba is brilliant, didn't know he was a 'car guy'.

Idris Elba takes pole position on the grid as he sets off on the drive of his life, in a revelatory, adrenaline-fuelled documentary series about speed and driving fast.

On his journey, Idris charts the colourful origins and secret history of the underground racing scene in the USA – and sets out to examine how boy-racers and our love of speed have shaped the cars we drive today.

Episode one sees him travel from his childhood home in East London to Motorcity in Detroit and on to New Jersey, where he reveals the history of the first boy-racers, and explores how our obsession with driving fast has shaped our professional motorsports and popular culture.
