In the 1976 Formula One motor racing season, South African driver Jody Scheckter became the first and only person to ever win a race in a six-wheeled car. Competing against him in Sweden was American Mario Andretti.

In this episode, both former world champions speak to James Pepper about history being made at the Anderstorp circuit.
