Stephen Colbert is no stranger to the pressures of television appearances, having starred in Racing Rivals on ITV1 in 2003 alongside model Nell McAndrew and BTCC ace Jason Plato.
The docu-soap, which told the stories of the Holiday Inn SEAT Cupra Championship drivers, went behind the scenes in the lives, highs, lows and frustrations of trying to make it to the top in motor racing in the UK.
It showed excellent action footage on and off the track as it followed Stephen from his first pole position, 'straight out of the box' at Croft, culminating in his 2nd position and £25 000 prize at the end of the season at the Brands Hatch Super Prix.
