The stage is set at Silverstone, the home of British motor racing
0:04
Six presenters, one shot each, fastest lap takes the crown. Thanks to Sky Sports, Capital, Heart and Radio X go head to head
0:13
Let's head over to Martin Brundle from Sky Sports. Who's down on the grid
0:17
Here we go then towards the grid. Let's see if we can have a word with the driver
0:23
Radio Royalty. Holly. How are you? Nice to meet you, Martin. You're about to go around a race car track
0:29
one of the fastest, best kart tracks in the world. Are you comfortable? Are you confident
0:34
No, I'm not comfortable. And no, I'm not confident. Have you seen the rain
0:38
I'm excited. I'm nervous. Yeah, I'm giddy. I am ready. Born ready, Martin
0:43
Nervous, but I'm excited. I like the way that you put it on pole position
0:46
sort of automatically. I'm a manifester, Martin, you know. That's where I want to be
0:50
I want to be number one and that's where I believe I will be by the end of today. I've got to keep up with Kem, who's on my team
0:54
He's always the man to beat. I've got to beat Chris Moyles. It's Earl on the line. I'm going to go for it
0:59
I think I try and keep up with the lads and prove a point. So today will be about showing them that I'm made of top stuff
1:05
I'll do what I can and see if I can bring it home for heart. I'm going to be a good third, fourth
1:10
How many of us driving? You'll be top six. Well, there's no guarantee. Have you done karts before
1:16
No. You're kidding me. No. 18 corners, you've got to look. 18
1:21
Oh, my goodness. Look, it's a lot of corners. This is the real deal, this track. It sounds like the real deal after that
1:26
You've got to think of it like this. It's just lefts and rights and straights. It's so simple
1:30
It's easy for you to say because you do it for a living. I'm going to need some tips from you
1:36
Die on the black bits. The green bits are slippery. Just leave this green one down all the time
1:40
So I'm assuming the green one is go? Yes. Okay. Don't break too hard
1:44
There's loads of grip. So just let the cart flow. So basically your advice is don't break
1:51
Don't break too much. If in doubt, go flat out. Is that the motto
1:55
It is now. Right, so it's anti-clockwise and the first one's a left-hander and then just sort it out from there
2:01
What do you mean the first one's a left-hander? What do you mean? Well, first corner's... Oh, right, OK, so you go right, OK, so you turn left
2:07
Yeah, I would tend to because if you go right, there's just a load of tyres and a crash barrier
2:11
And this is the kart track here at Silverstone being used for the very first time
2:16
1.3 kilometres, 18 turns, 11 to the left and 7 to the right
2:21
Chicanes are plenty for our drivers to overcome. A nod then to the historic Grand Prix circuit
2:27
And you can see the bridge in the distance. Well, that's part of the old Grand Prix track here at Silverstone
2:32
It's a real test and a challenge. But who's going to come out on top? Why don I be so nervous all of a sudden I was really calm before And now I like but a flight of kicked in Representing heart is just one of those moments
2:51
that makes me realize how lucky I am. Sexy. All the gear, no idea
2:59
Oh, no luck! That wasn't a good start, was it? I'm feeling a little bit nervous about crashing
3:09
and you're kind of just sliding and then put your left foot down
3:14
is there a puddle of water there because i've just said that
3:18
oh my god this is real now isn't it
3:36
he said calm he said stay calm stay calm He's itching to get going
3:44
It's lights out and away we go in the Global Grand Prix with Sky Sports
3:50
Let's do it! Everyone's told me to be brave. Just be brave
3:56
Just be brave. Great first corner. Fantastic first corner, Ken. Right, here we go
4:07
Karting track at Silverstone. Historic venue like this for the F1. Representing Park
4:15
I'm going to beat Chris Boyle. Looking into the whites of his eyes there
4:20
Fully focused as he attacks the maggots of Beckett chicane. Pretty damp out here now as well
4:26
It feels a little bit skinny, I'm not going to lie. I don't know if she needs a steering wheel or a rudder out there
4:32
This is treacherous. Take it by. Go. Accelerate. accelerate! Ooh-yah! This is what they call the chicane
4:43
Look at me. I'm practically Lando Norris at this rate. Do you think he talks to himself when he's going round
4:48
Yes, he does talk to himself all the time. Trust me on that one. Just like you're doing Sian as well
4:53
Keep your foot down. Keep your foot down. You'll last way too much time. Big McLaren fan is Chris Moyles
5:00
Will the papaya passion rub off on him? Out on our track
5:03
And this looks pretty decent from the driver who didn't know where the throttle was
5:07
Round here, let's go, let's go. Whoa, whoa. Absolute more on time
5:12
Great car control from Polly James. Come on! Plenty of motivation coming from the cockpit
5:18
Plenty of acceleration from his feet too. Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
5:25
Ah I got Ray Knight again It literally like there a poundstone in the eye Oh no no no don hit the back don hit the back don hit the back don spear don spear no
5:33
That's an excellent save. Oh, she nearly won! No! No! No, that was absolutely perfect
5:42
Still within the white lines, no track limit violation there. I think these Martians are like, what the hell, who gave her a steering wheel
5:52
And I tell you what, those skillful feet that we've seen on a football pitch all these years
5:57
doing a very nice job indeed on the pedals of our go-kart today
6:01
Look at the water coming from the rear of our karts. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go
6:07
Ride. Yes. Puddles everywhere. Careful about aquaplaning. Try and swing it into that corner if you can
6:15
We're going right around, right around. Right around, Sia. And this looks really, really fast
6:20
Go on, you can do this car. Yes. kev this is looking utterly gorgeous my friend don't overcompensate it
6:29
oh my days it's all going wrong it's all going wrong oh there's the compensator's curse no
6:36
no it's just spinning everywhere steady oh no she's gone too wide again oh she's in the grass
6:44
they're gonna kill me i'm gonna break these go-carts you know what to do come on you've
6:49
Gotta hand it to Pandora. She has triumphed out there. Two four holds
6:53
Let's go. Woo! We can do this! Can I? No! No! No
6:59
She nearly lost it! Come on! But just staying on the track is an achievement in itself
7:04
A bit of a troublemaker, this rain, as Olly Murs might say
7:09
Just a few more corners to go now. Big one. Big one here
7:13
Foot flat to the floor. Swooping into the left-hander. Oh! She goes right
7:18
and it's in a spin. Oh my God. You're not doing the school run now
7:24
Welby. Come on, get that foot flat to the floor, Boyles. It is all going wrong
7:35
It is all going wrong. He's added another one to his book of excuses
7:39
Give me that 55 miles an hour now. Let's go. Foot flat to the floor now
7:43
as we head to the line. That's it? I don't know. I don't know what the flags mean
7:48
I've forgotten already. I can't believe I did that. It's going to be neck and neck
7:57
between the two boys, I think. There is no way I can go back to that office
8:01
A loser. That is a fact. Are they going to be sharing
8:06
the podium places? Mark Wright races to the line Mark done it and it a 1 The dream over And if you liking this drama you love the 2026 F1 season
8:22
Sky Sports is the place to watch every race live. Do you mix your wind when you get out of that
8:27
Absolutely get it. That was good. Well done. I paid in the office for me, Martin
8:33
What a brilliant last lap. You know, you pulled it out of the bag. you didn't fly off the road which i thought you were very competitive aren't you i am pretty
8:40
competitive i nearly did fly off the road at one point onto the mud but after that i learned my
8:44
lesson and realized how slippery it was going to be do you remember my briefing i said stay off the
8:49
green bits they're slippery i'm so annoyed with myself you were really struggling weren't you that
8:58
little right hander near the end of the lap time yeah it got me every time and i couldn't work out
9:03
when to brake and how hard to turn some of the corners are really tough honestly they are like
9:07
trying to get around them they're so sharp i just sort of went for it i took what the uh the pace
9:12
setter told me on board where to turn where to brake where to not did you stay off the brakes
9:17
like i said so you could just let the cart flow i really tried uh but it's just a natural instinct
9:23
to hit the brakes you know and so i tried a couple of times to just not brake and just take my foot
9:28
of the accelerator, but that's just, that's a bit terrifying, to be honest. I think you're wasted on the radio. You should have been a racing driver
9:35
I am wasted on the radio a lot, but let's not get into that. I've shared the tarmac with some greats today. Maybe I shouldn't say this, but I think another
9:42
great left the tarmac today as well. Well, we'll find out, won't we, later on. It's a 1.32.5
9:50
Okay, I thought I was going quite nippy. It was a 1.26.7. You're in silver medal position at the moment
9:56
Which I can't believe, is that true? Of the three you've run so far, yeah? It was a 130.6
10:02
I mean, quicker than Chris Moyles. Yes, that's all I wanted. I just wanted to beat you, Chris Moyles
10:07
A 32, but with a complete 360. So I actually did more than anyone else
10:12
Well, Mark, quickest lap of the day. 26.09, 10s quicker than Kem
10:16
I mean, I'm probably last on the leaderboard, but do you know what? That was fun. Oh, you're bound. Because of the weather
10:20
So let's take a look at that final leaderboard. By a few tenths of a second
10:24
