#167 Datsun is back, but which other car brands should return from the grave? The Nissan Delta Wing due to race at Le Mans, will it fall over at the first bend? Sniff Petrol on Chinese tyres and drunk French drivers. Plus new music: The Lunar Grand Prix.

Lunar Grand Prix

Gareth Jones On Speed vs Don Waits – The Lunar Grand Prix

There are three cars on the Moon
Designed & driven by a loon
I hope we get to see them soon
Driving cars on the Moon.

Ten miles per hour
Driven in one-sixth G
I wanna go,
Do you wanna go
To the Lunar Grand Prix?

It was the Soviet Empire who brought the dream alive,
But only America could do it (I’m talking about arrive and drive)

One small step for a man, one giant leap
American icons driven in a Lunar Jeep.

No air, no weather, no combustion, no sound
"Look John we bin’ climbin’
Man, that was all four wheels off the ground".

I'll drive all night in a Lunar day
Strolling on the Moon in the month of May, wait a minute it was September
In this low gravity it's hard to remember.

Oh the rules and regulations
They can all be thrown away
The Moon’s surface is the due restriction
Of NASA …..not the FIA.

Oh honey you'd love to drive up here
Oh baby I miss you
Parking’s not a problem
Traffic’s not an issue.

There are three cars on the Moon
Designed & driven by a loon
I hope we get to see them soon
Driving cars on the Moon.
There are three cars on the Moon
Designed & driven by a loon
I hope we get to see them soon
Driving cars on the Moon.
Driving cars on the Moon.
Driving cars
Driving cars
Driving cars on the Moon.
