Summary

COI synopsis: This is the motor racing season in Britain; so we decided to find out more about the sport which will be hitting the headlines for the next few months. First a visit to a factory which makes more motor racing equipment than any other in the world and then to school - to a motor racing drivers’ school to learn how to drive a modern British racing car.
