The last decades of the 20th century were exciting times for New Zealand motor racing. Big names from here and overseas would regularly compete and thousands would turn out to see their heroes - and their incredible cars - in action.

New Zealand's motor racing legends share their stories, taking you behind the scenes of their stellar careers. Experience the adrenaline rush and the heart-pumping action of this unforgiving sport, where split-second decisions can the difference between spraying the Champagne or destroying a race car - or worse.

But it wasn't only the drivers that the fans flocked to see. The cars were as much the stars as their brave pilots. Legendary machinery such as the PDL Mustangs, Jack Nazer's 'Miss Victorious', the homely 'breadvan' Anglias and the exotic, and hugely valuable, Ferrari 250 LM were just as captivating.

Kiwis at Speed delves into this very emotional and challenging sport and the fascinating adventures of those who committed themselves to attaining success at the highest level.
