Speed Dynasties
Programme on discovery at the moment, not sure if being repeated but very interesting. Looking at father and son relationships in racing, also includes Bruno Senna though talking about his relationship with Ayrton.
Interesting thing I've learnt so far is Christian Jones is actually adopted, which I didn't realise. Worth a watch if you flick over now or if it's repeated! |

Thanks Suze, I will definately watch when its repeated as I've missed it!
Worth the watch to see Bruno talk about his relationship with Ayrton. |

It was on again earlier but only on the plus one hour channel, had a quick look just now up until Tues and couldn't see it on - was on the main discovery channel by the way.

Good watch, but I can't understand why they went from a great such as McRae downwards. Bruno Senna rescued the end of it though.

I missed the beginning but the Jones family and Senna were the most interesting bits I saw.

There was an Indian driver who's like 23rd in the FRUK championship. Can't understand why they featured him.
I understand they featured the Joneses due to Alan but it didn't sound like his son was doing too well. Whereas the McRae's and Bruno Senna are doing well. |

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think Christian came third in Aussie FF championship and second in Asian F3 - what I did like was the fact he ran his own team which was the part that interested me, and more so the fact he is adopted ie racing is not in the genes from Alan Jones. However, have heard him widely criticised in the A1 GP forum here for his performances there...

I think worst example of a dynasty is Laudam now he is completely and utterly useless at everything he has ever done for me!
