Dave and his dad, spend hours on the road, driving across the country to find the event. Within the busy weekends racing schedule, Dave always finds time to spend cherished moments with his eight fans, signing autographs and posing for selfies of himself.
As the racing action unfolds, sadly – due to alcohol poisoning and a recurring fungal infection - Dave's not on form and cannot get the points needed to retain his championship title - this leaves four other contenders in a shoot-out for glory.

Every two years pre-war petrol-heads from across the Globe heed the clarion-call of VR and bring their dazzling vehicles to the iconic Autodrome Linas-Montlhery circuit, just south of Paris, the atmospheric and perfectly preserved 1924 banked concrete speed-bowl.
This extraordinary event attracts Pre 1940's cars and motorcycles and permits unparalleled access to these beautiful, eccentric machines and their owners.
Many of these vehicles are priceless museum exhibits, often true one-offs, but at Montlhery you see, smell and hear these unique survivors at full throttle.
This short film features: The 28-litre Beast of Turin (Fiat S76, one of just two built an the only survivor), Darracq, Bugatti, Maserati and many more exceptional rare machines.
The producer would like to thank the Vintage Revival Montlhery crew for their help and access to this astonishing event.
We took on the restoration of a crashed XT500. One of the features of the iconic XT was the tank which had massive dents caused by the prang. Initially, it looked like a complete write-off. We tried compressed air and levers but the tank was too far gone. So we took an angle grinder to it and removed the dented section. Using an English wheel, we managed to smooth out the dents and weld the section back into place. After smoothing off the welds, the tank was repainted with its decals. We are pleased with the results - especially as the original tank is now restored.

The Belly Tank (or Drop/Wing Tank) is from a 1943 Mustang P51 Fighter Bomber Aircraft. The tanks were fitted to aircraft for long range flying. Geoff’s tank was found washed up on beach at Dungeness on the South Coast of England at the end of the second World War.
50 years later Geoff unearthed the tank and decided to build a Hot Rod, loosely based on Belly Tank Hot Rod’s raced on Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah in the post war period.
The chassis and running gear for the build are from a 1947 Standard Flying 12, the engine is a 2 litre V4 from a 1969 Ford Capri and gearbox from a Volvo Amazon. Other components have been salvaged and re-engineered to fit inside the restrictive space of an old fuel tank.
Hot Rod racing footage was filmed at the 'Race the Waves' event held at Bridlington, East of Riding, Yorkshire.
