A look at technological development in Grand Prix car design. John Watson drives some of the cars and archive footage is also used, some seen for the first time in colour.

Well, they're back - about the domination of the german silver arrows
- new formula, 2.5 litre NA
- MB return and in 54 and 55 (with a few exceptions) totally trash the field, just like in the good old days of the 1930s after the death of Auto Union's Bernd Rosemeyer
- they introduce mechanical direct injection, windtunnel streamlined bodies; and where planning to use 4WD system witch allowed front wheel auto-gearing to a form of mechanical traction control - launch control
- for those not driving a silver car it's quite hopeless
