Gordon Wilkins covers the motoring news of the week with Michael Frostick and Judith Jackson.

Tonight's programme includes a test track report on a new British family car due to appear at Earl's Court next week. There is a profile of two Americans in Paris - the Ford Pinto and the General Motors' Vega - seen for the first time in Europe at the French motor show. Also, as the 1970 Grand Prix season draws to an end, an all-action film enquiry into the costs of becoming a racing driver. Millions of pounds go into filling a starting grid in Formula 1 racing. Do the financial risks discourage teams from taking a chance with fresh talent?
