Just found this on iplayer, seems pretty interesting. Anyone else checked it out?
(This is Tommy, you forgot the link :P)

I was fascinated how the pistons work in an engine, the tighter they are, the more faster and powerful they become.

tell me if I’m wrong
16th May 2011, 23:50 at 11:50 pm #168784CalumParticipantThe fuel tank bit was very interesting, I’d never seen the kevlar bag before.

I’ll keep an eye out for this elsewhere though, looks interesting.

19th May 2011, 7:55 at 7:55 am #168788brendantParticipantPretty good, really liked the Team Lotus guys and their hi-tech method of getting the fuel tank in! And was that Coulthard driving around Silverstone?
I wish the show had some better writing, though…
“So this stuff is really stronger than steel?”
“Yes, it is much stronger than steel.”
“Wow, I can’t believe this stuff is stronger than steel!”

And then saying again and again, wow, that went 25% further, wow, that went so much further, wow, that made such a difference!)
But, the tenuous connections aside its fairly interesting. If I had a child between the age of 8-14 it would probably help make them find engineering exciting, which I guess is its purpose.
