Pit
Crews Starts 4th January
Every Tuesday 10 PM
Would you sign up for a job where you have to jack up a car, change four tyres, fill the tank, wipe the windows and get it back
on the road in just 17 seconds? While it might sound like a high pressure job; for some it’s actually fun. Every member of a
pit crew thrives on the adrenaline that comes with doing the job. Meet the people who keep a NASCAR machine on the oval,
a hydroplane on the water or a motorcycle on track. From fighting the odds to help a superbike continue its victory ride to
overcoming difficult working conditions to prepare a boat for one of the most dangerous races, Pit Crews cannot afford to miss
a beat. And you cannot afford to miss them.

GARAGE Starts 7th January
Every Friday 10 PM
How many times have you given a second thought to the men and women in descript overalls and greasy hands fixing your
car or bustling around on factory floors? They may be invisible to most, but the unflinching efforts of these hard-working
upholders of the American dream helped create history at every stage – from winning World War II to putting a man on the
moon. Saluting their spirit and giving them their share of the limelight is ‘Monster Garage.’ So get ready to watch Jesse James
lead a team of the coolest and finest designers, builders and free thinkers who turn any automobile into the baddest, meanest
and coolest of lawn mowers, fire trucks and garbage trucks – in just seven days.

Every Saturday 10 PM
Mike Brewer and Edd China are back scouring the streets and scrap yards for old jalopies, hoping to bring them out
of retirement, give them a new lease of life and of course, make some cash along the way. Armed with never-enough
budgets, the ‘Wheeler Dealer’ hosts turn iconic no-hopers into not just market-worthy machines, but track-ready race cars.
You might just become a restoration fan after witnessing a 1980 Triumph Spitfire, 1987 Porsche 944 Turbo and a 1986
Audi Quattro turn from almost metallic-junk to glorious speedsters.
