F1 stock car drivers compete in one of the most spectacular forms of motorsport in Britain. Racing in powerful self-built, heavily-armoured, single-seater racing cars on quarter-mile oval tracks, F1 stock car racing is a full-contact sport. During a history that covers eight decades, the sport is often regarded as British motor racing's best-kept secret. Its popularity peaked in the 1970s, with more than 140 meetings in a season that stretched from March until November. HEAVY METAL tells the story of some of the leading stars of the sport during this golden era - notably Stuart Smith, Doug Cronshaw and Willie Harrison. Smith would develop into the man to beat and the ultimate showman, while his life-long friend Cronshaw was an unassuming hero with a huge and loyal northern fan base. Harrison, a veteran who raced through four decades, competed at the highest level despite debilitating injuries suffered as a young child. These men featured in many of the sport's most memorable and infamous races in their quest to become world champion.
