‘Shannons Legends of Motorsport' will take you behind the scenes, to get the real story of some of the greatest moments in racing history. Neil Crompton‘s passion and knowledge of motorsport is widely recognised and when developing the new series, he found the perfect partner in Shannons.
"The Shannons Legends of Motorsport is a very exciting project for me," Crompton said.
"It blends wonderful historic imagery from Seven’s library with iconic racing cars plus the legends that drove them. Some of the material we’ve found is fantastic and in many cases, long forgotten and the back stories are fascinating."
