Idris Elba: King of Speed

Idris Elba travels from East London to Motor City in Detroit and on to New Jersey, where he reveals the history of the first boy racers and explores our obsession with driving fast.

Idris meets the owner of one of the world's fastest production cars and uncovers how the underground driving craze of drifting began in Japan has become the fastest growing motorsport in Europe.

Idris goes back to basics and learns the skills of trial biking, before finally fulfilling his personal ambition to drive a full spec rally car on a genuine Finnish rally course, with plenty of close calls on along the way.
