Synopsis

Kids sporting competition but with more of an emphasis on motorsports as we recall. More of a less muddy Run the Gauntlet than We are the Champions, at any rate, which isn't surprising as this and Gauntlet were made by largely the same team. As it happened, after ITV axed Gauntlet, they poached the programme from Channel 4 two years later.
