Legends follows two high-profile car enthusiasts
as they retrace the steps of Great British motor
racing legends. Through a combination of revealing
interviews and fascinating archive footage, each
celebrity fan will pay tribute to the racing legend
by spending |
time
with them and the people who knew them best. More
The briefing for the programme adds we will "learn
about the vehicles they drove and the engineering
they employed, and they'll try to understand what
put them in pole position. Their ultimate mission:
to emulate the legend by re-enacting one of their
greatest-ever races, in a rare classic car. With
the original team of mechanics re-assembled, and
the racetracks re-opened, this is the enthusiasts'
opportunity to remind the world just how special
the racing legend really was.
Actor, Sir Patrick Stewart tells the enthralling
story of Sir
Stirling Moss's glittering race career. The
pair travel to Florence in a classic Mercedes to
retrace the route of Italy's most famous road race
- the Mille Miglia - and discuss how Stirling's
near-fatal crash at Goodwood may have been the best
thing that ever happened to him."
