In the heart of England there's a secret passion - an obsession that's divided two rival families for 40 years. Gears and Tears is the story behind a single stock car season and the bitter real-life battle between the sport's two main clans - the Wainmans from Yorkshire and the Smiths from Lancashire. This is a latter-day War of the Roses where passion, pride and family are everything. All that matters will be victory at the end of a ferocious campaign that goes all the way to the World Finals.
