It is a two parter I believe, with the second part on Friday at 8pm.

Looks good and you're right, he is pretty cool!

I enjoyed part 1 (sod the cynics: NASCAR is quality!). Have to confess I found Idris a bit grating in the second programme though.

For someone whose "lifelong dream" was to go rallying, he seemed to know **** all about it! Given who he was sharing the various cars with, you think he'd have been paying a bit more attention.

Ari is the man though.

PS: Seriously BBC researchers, please supply presenters with the correct facts on cars.

Struck me he was not a petrolhead, which in fairness he never said he was. I think that explained his lack of knowledge.

He said throughout he was a speed freak, which I think showed in his driving. He was aggressive and obstinate. Without those guys guiding him he would have probably had a big accident, not 'just' a roll.

He is suited to 1/4mile and drag strip racing.

All that aside, I really enjoyed it and personally would rather see licence fee money spent on programmes like that than some of the cack which gets commissioned.

In truth, a series of six or eight like that would replace Top Gear if it were up to me.
