Idris Elba takes pole position as he lines up to take the drive of his life in a revelatory, adrenaline-fuelled BBC documentary. Charting the colourful origins and secret history of the car racing scene, he travels far and wide in search of the real story. It's an international driving tour that will take him from his door step in London to the racetracks of America via the Scottish Highlands and the Arctic plains of Finland, where dark nights and snow have created a legion of young racers. As he travels the world, he will reveal the unexplored political, social and historical circumstances connecting the early stories of the boy racer from the American prohibition era, through to our modern day driving culture.
