BBC Two - Fast and Fearless: Britain's Banger Racers, Episode 2

Veteran champions are tempted out of retirement for the Olly Moran Memorial Race.

Two-part documentary about the world of banger racing. An army of veteran champions are tempted out of retirement to compete alongside the best young drivers around.

Two-part documentary about the petrol-soaked, testosterone-fuelled world of banger racing.

In this episode, an army of veteran champions are tempted out of retirement for the Olly Moran Memorial Race and compete alongside the best of today's younger drivers for the event trophies. Legendary pink team the Condoms 'trade paint' with the infamous yellow Suicide Squad, who have been absent from the track for fifteen years. 

We follow senior members from both teams as they prepare for the big race - transforming their vehicles and psyching themselves up to compete for one last showdown. 

For Bill, the race isn't just about reigniting old rivalries. He regrets that he wasn't the best of fathers and is very keen to make amends as a grandad, and hopes that his young grandson comes along to see him race for the first and last time.
