Repeat of the format maybe - I saw one once with David Coulthard and Guy Martin.

It's a new one, I think, because they are going to use classic F1 cars, Jensen is in a six wheeler...

It's not listed down here Tuesday C4 that I can see :thumbdown:

**EDIT**
Right I've found it, it looks like it's a new program as Tony thought, it's on Monday evening not Tuesday (Mon 27th Aug C4 9pm)

I've modified Alan's original post.

Thanks for the heads-up Alan :thumbup:

There's a bit about it here:- https://www.pressreader.com/uk/tv-times ... 6048436414

On a different note I just happened to find this video, an interview by Suzi Perry interviewing Guy Martin. Warning though for Lloydie, there is a picture of a sheep in the first 3 or 4 mins :wink:

Haha it's an age thing Dave, it happens to us all... :lol: :lol:

Deff a new prog in the other prog he did with Williams he was pit crew.

This one he gets to drive an FW08 v's Button driving a 6 wheeler that never raced in period...


Unlike the Tyrell 6 wheel P34, which did race with some success in '76 * the Williams had 4 small driven wheels at the rear. March built one as well that didn't race either.

Your forum F1 correspondent...Mac




* The P34 suffered in the following season from lack of development in the special size front tyres, it did however have a fair bit of success in later years in historic racing.

No problem Alan, we all do these things at times.

I'm just pleased you gave us the heads-up, otherwise I wouldn't have been looking for it :thumbup:

I'm looking forward to it, plus I have set the recorder just in case :wink:

Chris.

not come across press reader before, thanks. bookmarked it. makes a change to aol and other homepages. be interesting to see whether it adapts to searches like google. if not, i'll enjoy dipping into publications from around the uk.

not just drive, rebuild too. wonder what happens to prototypes and each new generation of race car. do they get stripped/crushed, stored until uncompetitive/the innovations no longer offer competitive advantage?

do you think he will have to go in search of missing parts, borrow from later cars, or get new bits made

they might - if guy had an older bike. a 1927 sunbeam would be taking it too far. how many generations would it take to even things up?

or guy on a road bike maybe.

did you see the one where rode an indian enfield?
