This film is part of a three film collection focusing on racing driver Trevor Twaites, documenting races he participated in. All of the films within this collection were commissioned on behalf of the British Racing & Sports Car Club (Northern centre). In terms of visual composition, the camera throughout the collection is positioned at eye level with the race track, thus the filmmaker is able to replicate the type shots a professional television company might produce, which is thanks to unrestricted access to the racetrack and behind the scenes areas. The opening shot of the film shows Trevor Twaites sitting in the driver's seat of his orange Chevron B.16 race car, which is situated in the middle of a car park with other racing teams. Members of his crew stand around the car, talking. The filmmaker then cuts to a group of racing cars speeding down the long straight of the race course. Next, there are various shots of race cars (including Trevor's B.16) careering round various corners, including a tight chicane. The following shot shows a group of men standing around a damaged car that has fallen off the track. Trevor's Chevron pulls into the pit lane, and then a man opens the door to converse with him. Another driver waits while mechanics work on his blue racing car. Trevor's Chevron B.16 hurtles across the race start line, as a man holds a board up. The filmmaker cuts to the pit lane, where a mechanic is checking the tire pressure on the Chevron. This is followed by a shot of a racing cars bonnet, which has a decal reading 'Mum for men' written across it. Another car has 'private - Stockholm Sweden' stencilled on it. A race begins consisting of small scale Formula 1 style cars. Shots of advertisements boards of that period are littered around the race track, and another shot shows people watching the race from behind a fence. A driver stands on a raised platform surrounded by race officials, and women dressed in typical 70s pin up attire. Kissing the man on the cheek, the woman then hands the driver a cup, from which he proceeds to drink. The winning driver poses with two glamorous women. The winning driver and women are driven round the race course for a victory lap in an open top car and golf buggy, which has an advertisement for 'Rothmans of Pall Mall'. (The winner is Lotus driver Dave Walker and second is driver James Hunt.) The final sequence has several shots consisting of Trevor's Chevron driving round the track, and a few shots of the crowd.
