Idris Elba

From space exploration, Discovery goes on to fast cars with Idris Elba: No Limits. Since childhood, Idris was obsessed with speed and wanted to immerse himself in the world of fast machines. The show follows this racer as he tries his hand on rally driving, drag racing, aerobatics, and even an attempt to beat a Land Speed Record that hasn’t been broken since 1927. Idris will push himself to the absolute limit as he is challenged not only to master his skills but also understand the engineering behind his machines. With the help of racing legends Jimmy McRae and Ari Vatanan, and modern-day sporting stars Antron Brown and Ed Cyster, the question is – will he be headed for a podium finish? Idris Elba: No Limits will air on October 23, Sunday, at 9.50 p.m.
