Gears and Tears Episode 1

Episode 1 of 6

Documentary series following the Smiths and the Wainmans, two rival clans in the world of stock car racing, who have dominated the circuit for 40 years.

In the heart of England there’s a secret passion - an obsession that’s divided two rival families for 40 years. Gears and Tears is the story behind a single stock car season and the bitter real-life battle between the sport's two main clans - the Wainmans from Yorkshire and the Smiths from Lancashire. This is a latter-day War of the Roses where passion, pride and family are everything. All that matters will be victory at the end of a ferocious campaign that goes all the way to the World Finals.
