Following in his late father's footsteps, Tai Woffinden made his name as a notable Speedway rider. Known for his speed on the tracks and his quirky tattoos, Woffinden is a popular figure within the sport.

Or will we watch robots race a bionic Lewis Hamilton? And what about the future of classic cars?
