The new series of Air an Rathad starts with a stunner - our very own Calum Iain takes on champion precision driver Paul Swift at his home track in Doncaster.

Fiona is in Arbroath test driving a sporty little number - the Seat Leon Cupra. It's a right nippy sweetie, but is it perfection or confection? Murray reminds us that there is snow and ice on the way as he finds out how best to drive in the worst of wintry conditions. And everyone's favourite - Wacky Races - is back! Lots more silly things to do with cars, and tonight there's a mystery guest joining the team on the track.
