- No driver can claim more loyalty or devotion from fans of Formula One than Ayrton Senna. His passion, commitment and sheer intensity helped to elevate F1 from elite sport to the level of a calling. The way he drove a qualifying lap showed a hint of the divine - he himself described his performance as being near transcendent, an out-of-body experience. For his supporters across the world his driving was on a plane above his contemporaries, and his reserved and aloof character only added to the mystique. This programme was the first to try to delve behind the public persona and get to grips with Ayrton the man, rather than Senna as the media portrayed him. Racing is in My Blood delves into the Brazilian's background to disentangle the various strands that combined to weave the remarkable talent behind the man often described as the "greatest racing driver ever." This is an incredibly intimate and fascinating portrayal of a man who redefined motorsport for a generation and continues to enthrall today. Watching this classic 1992 programme it is hard not to feel that the world was robbed of a truly unique character at Imola in 1994.

- The 'Group B' International Motorsports Category was conceived in the late seventies as a return to the good old days when amateur and factory teams alike could run the same production-based cars in either sports car racing or championship rally events. By the early eighties the class had become the 'Godzilla' of the rally scene and what resulted were the most awesome cars ever seen on the rally stages of the world - 600 horsepower, 4WD, turbocharged monsters that could cover forest, tarmac or gravel stages faster than anything ever seen before or since. In 1986 the door was slammed shut on the F1 cars of mountain and forest roads. Faster and faster cars combined with wilder and crazier crowds meant that within the confines of rally car competition the group B rocket ships were just 'Too Fast To Race'. The legacy of Group B, however, is a whole range of spectacular cars that continue to thrill enthusiasts. Features the Ford RS200, Lancia 037 Rally, Lancia S4, MG Metro 6R4, Peugeot 205/T16, Audi Quattro, Renault 5 Turbo, Opel, Citroen also the amazing Ferrari 288GTO Evoluzione, Jaguar XJ220 supercar and Porsche 959 - the car that came closest of all to fulfilling the Group B ethos.
