The programme focuses on the science of speed



THRILLING Watch speed week

Discovery Channel goes vroom with its annual Speed Week, a week-long marathon that focuses on the science and psychology of speed. Packed with adrenaline, Speed Week races onto television screens with a special line-up that connects viewers with the human desire to push the acceleration threshold – whether behind the wheel of a death-defying race-car or breaking the sound barrier in a military fighter jet.

Speed Week will bring episodes on future cars, power boats, street racing and race dynasties. Follow Michael Czysz and the MotoCzysz team as they are try to bring an American designed and built machine to the forefront of international road racing.

Dedicated to all things fast, Discovery Channel’s Speed Week uncovers the human quest for speed since the beginning of time. Whether it was Howard Hughes setting a speed record 70 years ago by going 352 miles per hour in the H-1 (the world’s most advanced plane of its time) or today’s fast cars which reach speeds in excess of 240 miles per hour, there seems to be no limit to our desire for speed. Watch Speed Week on Discovery Channel till November 30 at 10 p.m., with a repeat episode the following day at 4 p.m.
