0:00:02 > 0:00:06These teenage racers aren't old enough to drive on the roads.
0:00:06 > 0:00:1015 years old, driving race cars, there's nothing better than that.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14But at the weekends, they tear up the track.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18I don't even know what to say. It was absolutely an amazing race.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21This season, two teams go head-to-head.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24'Two out of two!'
0:00:24 > 0:00:26One is brother and sister.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30We're both competitive and we both want to beat each other.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34The other, a team of mates.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38All of us are going to win.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Racing is my dream.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44It's a tough fight and we'll be with them all the way.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Expect the unexpected. There's no guarantees in this sport.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51So who will be crowned winner of the Racing Set?
0:00:51 > 0:00:55None of my school friends are doing anything as cool as this.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Previously on The Racing Set, golden rookie James
0:01:01 > 0:01:05was on top of the world after a winning start to the season.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07That was amazing! Unbelievable!
0:01:07 > 0:01:11But at the track, he came crashing down to earth.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15I'm just really a little bit angry at the minute.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Another £800.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21Whilst his main rookie rival Jamie's season has gone from bad to worse.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26I'm just on a bit of a downer, I lost a bit of confidence
0:01:26 > 0:01:30and I just don't really know how to come out of it, I guess.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32And as the weather turned against them,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35everyone was pushed to their limits.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39It's hard because we would have easily won that race.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Couldn't blame anybody else.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46The car can be repaired, but I can't, so I'm happy that I'm OK.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Today, our drivers will be on one of the most unpredictable
0:01:50 > 0:01:52tracks in the UK...
0:01:52 > 0:01:55It's literally up-down, up-down, like a roller coaster.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57..where both Jamie
0:01:57 > 0:02:00and James will have to dig deep to turn their fortunes around.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04I'm 15 years old. I'm going to have to start taking responsibility.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09I think I need to become a bit more aggressive as person.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13We know it's there. You're just that far away from getting it.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41It's first thing in the morning at the Chadwicks'
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- home in Gloucestershire. - Come on, Oscar.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46After another disappointment on the track,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Jamie looks to her best friend Yvie for support.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52You've had some pretty bad luck this season. That mustn't be too good.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55It was obviously massively disappointing
0:02:55 > 0:02:59and I think it was a big crash, it was quite scary.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03But you've just got to reset and refocus on the fact that
0:03:03 > 0:03:07you're out there to race, you can't let things like that get to you.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11To be honest, if racing wasn't about driving round on a knife edge,
0:03:11 > 0:03:15I wouldn't do it. You should come in the car with me one day.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- With you driving?- Yeah.- God! - Not sure you trust me.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26While Jamie is determined to keep going, over in Yorkshire,
0:03:26 > 0:03:30after James span off the track at Croft, he and his family have
0:03:30 > 0:03:34received a repair bill for his car that could stop him in his tracks.
0:03:34 > 0:03:40It's nearly £7,000, which is... pretty much cleans us out, James.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Unless we can raise some money,
0:03:43 > 0:03:47it doesn't look like we'll be going to the next round.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Which... I'm sorry, but that's the way things are.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- What do you feel about it? - What do you think?- Um...
0:03:53 > 0:03:57It is definitely annoying and upsetting,
0:03:57 > 0:04:01but hopefully we can get like sponsorship and stuff.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Come back at it good and strong.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07You're good enough. You're too good to stand on the sidelines.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- Something will turn up. - Yeah, hopefully.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13If it was my last race, it would be annoying
0:04:13 > 0:04:16because I'm doing really well in the championship.
0:04:16 > 0:04:22We'll just have to save our money and come back a bit strong
0:04:22 > 0:04:25and even more determined next time I'm out in the car,
0:04:25 > 0:04:30but it is a bit annoying, but I'll get through it.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34In an effort to turn things around, James has returned to the
0:04:34 > 0:04:38place where he began his racing career at the age of nine.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43But today, he's getting paid to teach young kids how to go-kart.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46This is the time to beat today. 53 dead.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49If you can get into the 52s, that'll be amazing.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54I'm 15 years old. I'm going to have to start taking responsibility.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Getting my own money somehow and be able to try
0:04:58 > 0:05:02and pay for my own racing, or at least give a bit to my mum and dad.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Most young racers start in a place like this.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08It gives them confidence on the track, a taste for speed
0:05:08 > 0:05:11and the drive to win.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Try and pass people as much as possible.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17And just push it as hard as you can, OK?
0:05:17 > 0:05:21He's determined to do his bit for the family and his racing career.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26I thought cos he's a teenager he'd be with other teenagers,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29but he spends most of his time with us.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Racing's my life. When I'm in the car, it's my home really.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I absolutely love it.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42James is not the only one putting everything he's got into racing.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Ollie has brought his sister Jamie to a specialist racing school
0:05:46 > 0:05:50to get her up to speed with this weekend's track, Knockhill.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Jamie's on the simulator now, learning the track.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59It's important for her, as she's never been there before.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Wait, clean exit, tight, tight.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Jamie is taking the wheel of a machine that recreates
0:06:04 > 0:06:07the course of all the racetracks in Britain.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Today, she can see Knockhill all around her.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14- That's it, straighten up. - It's an exciting track.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18It's literally up-down, up-down, like a roller coaster.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21As it will be Jamie's first time on this track,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24it's vital that she learns as much as she can today.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28I've shown her some on-board footage and we've seen some stuff on YouTube,
0:06:28 > 0:06:32but it doesn't compare to actually driving it in the car, so this
0:06:32 > 0:06:36is her first real experience of going round it, and how it works and stuff.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44Another part of her training here is how to be interviewed on telly.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49This is when having that nice relaxed body language becomes
0:06:49 > 0:06:51even more important.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55She's getting tips from ITV racing reporter Louise Goodman.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58It's good to have opinions. The more you have opinions,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01the more you'll find journalists will ask you questions,
0:07:01 > 0:07:03as you've got something to say.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05I'm very sort of conscious what people think.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08I think it's a bit of a girl thing as well.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Drivers don't just try and gain an edge on the track,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13they try and get an edge off the track as well.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16I can bully you and you're going to be the girl.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I need to become a bit more aggressive as a person.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- I've got to be a force to be reckoned with.- Absolutely.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Let's hope that Jamie can keep that new-found confidence as race
0:07:25 > 0:07:27day begins at Knockhill in Scotland.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29James and his team-mates, Harry and Will,
0:07:29 > 0:07:32are all ready to take on this roller-coaster track.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35I'll be able to get a good start and get in front of the rookies
0:07:35 > 0:07:37and hopefully, get a podium.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42- What about you, Harry?- A win. - A win?- Yeah. A win.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Before every race, James has to work hard to stay confident
0:07:47 > 0:07:49and not add to the family's repair bills.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53It is a bit nerve-racking because of crashing and stuff,
0:07:53 > 0:07:57but you forget about that and just think about what you're going to do
0:07:57 > 0:08:03in the race and think about the race and beating your opponents, really.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Jamie is keen to keep out of trouble today.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09On so many occasions I know I could have done something or had
0:08:09 > 0:08:13a good result, but then I've been hit off.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16So it's frustrating, really.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21But the head of her team, Jules, is sure she has the stamina to succeed.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Keep pushing right to the end. We know it's there.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29You're just that far away from getting there. You've got the tools.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33You've got to make the brain make the tools work now. OK?
0:08:33 > 0:08:37There's more pressure on Jamie because she's the first girl
0:08:37 > 0:08:41ever to be given a Ginetta Junior Racing scholarship.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43To get to the standard she's at now,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I haven't seen such raw talent in many years.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47She is...
0:08:47 > 0:08:51If she applies herself as hard as she does for the rest of her
0:08:51 > 0:08:55time in the car, she will go a long way in motorsport.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59With the race just moments away, James' dad is there, as ever,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- for support. - All right, mate?- Yeah.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Can't wait. A little bit nervous, but hopefully it's going to be good.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- I'm really proud of you. Good luck. - Thank you.- We'll be watching.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- All right? - As the cars get ready,
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Ollie's focusing on improving his record of second and third places.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19He wants first.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23We've got good starts, it'll be close, very close,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26and I'll be surprised if anyone can break away.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28So it'll be interesting, for sure.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34And championship leader Harry is relaxed, as usual.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I don't really plan on anything.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40The more you plan, the more you get wrong. I'm not nervous.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44You haven't got time to be nervous. You've got to be racing.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47The cars line up on the grid.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52After their qualifiers, Harry starts in first, James in sixth,
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Ollie in seventh and Jamie is at the back in tenth place.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59'Lights on. Is it going to be a long wait? No, it's a quick start.'
0:09:59 > 0:10:02From the start line, Harry slips back into second.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Ollie is desperate to get to the front.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09And in his haste, he cuts a corner.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11But remains in seventh.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Seconds later, there's trouble.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21It's a heart-stoppingly near miss for James.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26Jamie managed to avoid the problems and has moved up to sixth place.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Up in front, Ollie's in a comfortable fourth,
0:10:30 > 0:10:33and Harry is determined not to let anyone beat him.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36'Look at this. Really leaning on each other.'
0:10:36 > 0:10:38He muscles his way past into the lead.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41The frontrunners are all chasing trophies
0:10:41 > 0:10:45and they will do anything to get one.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Cheekily, Ollie cuts another corner.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49This time, taking one of the signs with him.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52'Chadwick on the grass and rejoins.'
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Ollie has made it to third place.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57But the top spot is still out of reach at the moment.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Meanwhile, all the rookies are at the back,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05fighting it out for the rookie cup.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08And with Jamie's main rival James languishing in last place,
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Jamie makes her move and gets ahead of the pack at the back.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16'Now it's Jamie Chadwick leading the rookie category in the blue car.'
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Moments later, James' haste to make up some ground means
0:11:19 > 0:11:21he takes the corner too fast.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26His race is over.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32With Ollie still in third and Jamie leading the rookies,
0:11:32 > 0:11:36both of the Chadwicks look like they'll be on the podium together.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39But the car behind Ollie wants that third place too.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43'On the back of Ollie Chadwick. Very defensive.'
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Under pressure, Ollie falls back into a disappointing fourth.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51The race finishes with Harry maintaining his winning streak
0:11:51 > 0:11:54and Ollie just missing out on a trophy.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58But there has been an incredible turnaround in Jamie's fortunes.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01For the first time, she's top rookie.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03'Out front, Jamie Chadwick wins the rookie.'
0:12:03 > 0:12:07It's the result she's been waiting for.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10After a string of disappointments,
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Jamie finally gets her hands on a trophy.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17And her whole team are over the moon too.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23For once, it's me that's come through, rather than other people.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25So, I'm chuffed.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Go and talk to Alan.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30At last, Jamie gets to do a winner's interview.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Couple of occasions where we've come close,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36but then had an incident and lost out.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38So finally, for once, it's me that's got it.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42But as Ollie is fourth, he's not joining her on the podium.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Yeah, we just lost out in the last sector of the race. That cost us.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49But that's something to learn from.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54Ollie isn't the only one to miss out. James came in last.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- I brought the car home in one piece, which is a good thing.- Yeah, I saw.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02If all the crashing weren't happening at the start, it would
0:13:02 > 0:13:04have been a good race.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07But after that, I was annoyed and angry
0:13:07 > 0:13:10and I just wanted to catch up as much as possible.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I think I was pushing it a bit too hard.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- Live to fight another day.- Yeah.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Hopefully.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22James' team-mate Harry has won yet again and this puts him so far ahead
0:13:22 > 0:13:26in the overall championship, it will be difficult for anyone to catch up.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- Is it about keeping your championship bubbling now?- Yeah.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34We'll still be going for the wins, but we'll not take any risks.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36If we can do that, it'll be great.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42But with her hands firmly on her first rookie cup,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44today belongs to Jamie.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Next time, it's the last race of the season and Jamie
0:13:47 > 0:13:52and James are both desperate to win the rookie championship.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Zero risks and, hopefully, we can get the rookie cup.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59And as the skies open, will it be the end of the road for our drivers?
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Why should he get into trouble?
