I have been rattling my brains about the following.

Quite a few years ago, there was a drama series about a bored housewife who became a racing driver.
( ITV...I think, not so many channels then)

They used Peter Baldwin’s special saloon Mini.... but painted orange.

Tony Davies ( Firenze) & few others were in the race scenes from Brands Hatch, & I think Tony Lanfranchi had a cameo role
( Brian Jones commentary)

Ii used to be on YouTube... don’t know if it still is

It was OK... if you didn’t take it seriously.

BONUS;
The member of the public to racing driver programmes are still available... about an hour each though.
Still worth a watch... for a laugh.

‘The Big Time’ is on YouTube ( Tim Davey) / Tim Lee - Davy.

‘Faking it’ ; is still available on ALL4 / on Demand. (?)

Cheers... that’s it.
Comes to my mind now & again... better write it down.

Crikey, 1984...... Thought it was mid 90’s.
The series is still on YouTube...
( Might have to watch it now)
