The Indianapolis 500 is one of the most iconic racing events on the planet, it's a race everyone wants to win and James Hinchcliffe is no exception. But with just one week before qualifying, the Oakville, Ontario native is in a hospital bed recovering from a severe concussion.
Hinch, as he's known to fans and friends, has the backing of one of the most successful teams on the circuit and his car is definitely fast enough, but it all comes down to whether he can recover in time to qualify for the big race.
This speedy episode will also scream down the quarter-mile at the Nitro Nationals as the top fuel funny cars top out at 300 miles an hour.
One of Britain's top stunt drivers rears his van up on two wheels for a television commercial, and we take a McLaren P1 for a test drive on the world famous Silverstone race circuit.
