“I am delighted we have been able to capture so much in this edition, it’s certainly our most ambitious commented Producer David Turner. There are still so many stories yet to tell thats for sure. When you sit with the likes of Earl Bamber and Brendon Hartley you see the sheer passion in their eyes and a sense of pride and respect for our country as well, its a very cool feeling and makes me equally proud to make this series”.
