Here are our recommendations so far:

Pick #1

6 Underground – Available on Netflix!

Six individuals from all around the globe, each the very best at what they do, have been chosen not only for their skill, but for a unique desire to delete their pasts to change the future.

BUT – more importantly – watch the fantastic Alfa Romeo Guilia Quadrifoglio tear around the streets of Florence, Italy.

Pick #2

CARS (1, 2 & 3!) – Available now on Disney+ (who are currently offering a 7 day free trial!)

While traveling to California to race in the Piston Cup Championship, Lightning McQueen becomes lost after falling out of his trailer in a run-down town called Radiator Springs. Whilst there he slowly befriends the town’s odd residents, so when it comes time for him to leave, the championship is no longer his top priority.

This family friendly flick will give your whole household the chance to sit together and enjoy a few hours living the Disney wonders, but with an automotive take.

Pick #3

The Italian Job – Available to stream now on NOW TV (with a 7 day free trial available)

The British hit from 1969 in which 3 classic Mini Cooper’s are used as the getaway vehicles for a daring heist on an armoured truck carrying gold bullion. The plan is simple; create the world’s largest traffic jam! Then use the smallest, most agile cars available on the planet to escape, gold safely stashed onboard.

Definitely an old-school car chase by today’s standards; but sometimes the classics are the best aren’t they?

This dramatic portrayal of the intense 1970s rivalry between race drivers Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl) and James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) makes for gripping viewing, as you see the lengths that individuals went to in order to ensure their success in the Formula One arena.

Watch the pair tear up every race circuit on the F1 calendar, driving vehicles that are literally explosions waiting to happen, chasing ever higher speeds and even fate itself.

Jason Statham stars as Frank Martin, deliverer mysterious packages through all sorts of dangerous circumstances. Flying fists, bullets and clouds of tyre smoke, all weathered in his trusty BMW 735i – a classy choice if ever there was one!
