Each episode of Speedmakers explored a different theme or area of the automotive world. For example, one episode might be focused on the development of electric cars or the latest advancements in aerodynamics, while another might center on the history and legacy of iconic sports cars like the Corvette or the Mustang.

The show was hosted by former professional driver and automotive journalist Andrew Comrie-Picard, who brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. He was joined by a rotating cast of experts and insiders from the automotive world, including engineers, designers, builders, and test drivers.

In addition to showcasing the latest and greatest in automotive technology, Speedmakers also delved into the history and culture of cars. The show explored the innovations that have driven the industry forward, as well as the personalities and rivalries that have helped shape the automotive world over the years.

But perhaps what set this show apart from other automotive programs was its focus on the people behind the cars. Rather than just talking about horsepower and top speed, Speedmakers took a more personal approach, highlighting the passion and creativity of the designers, engineers, and builders who were pushing the envelope of what was possible in the automotive world.

Overall, Speedmakers was a fascinating and exciting show for anyone who loves cars and is interested in the future of automotive technology. Whether you're a casual fan or a die-hard enthusiast, this series had something to offer for everyone.
