Used to love Transworld Sport. NHRA drag racing and European tarmac rallying ftw. Maybe where I first saw Aussie touring cars as well.
Mountain biking as well. Can't remember if it was on the same show or a show that was in that same early morning channel 4 timeslot though.

One of my friends didn't know that a drag race was a thing before Ru Paul's Drag Race. I had to explain what it was

Related question for you - is it (a) a dump truck or (b) a dumper truck?
I can tell you that in the UK construction industry you're not likely to hear people use the word 'truck' at all, it would just be a 'dumper' whether front or rear tipping. The only exception is 25t rear tipping dumpers which tend to be referred to as 'Moxys' regardless of brand.
Whereas in the mining industry all rear tipping dump trucks are just referred to as 'trucks'. If you started talking about a dumper people would think that you needed a poo.
Also pickups are also referred to as trucks in the mining industry in this country.

Not much of one anymore. Hopefully that will be changing over the few years.
