‘Idris Elba No Limits’ Sneak Peek: Day of Blunder

Idris Elba has a need for speed, but as we see in this exclusive clip from his new Discovery series Idris Elba No Limits, premiering July 4, he also has a need for some driving lessons. In the premiere of the four-hour series (episodes will air back-to-back Monday starting at 7 p.m.), he trains to drive in the Circuit of Ireland Rally, a race he grew up watching on TV as a child. The stakes are legitimately high: the narrow, winding roads of the timed stages will be lined with spectators, who could get injured if he doesn’t learn to break at the right time (his mentor, 72-year-old Jimmy McRae, who won the Circuit of Ireland seven times, dubs him The Last of the Late Breakers) — or if he doesn’t learn to trust his co-driver, the person in the passenger seat who calls out detailed notes on the course to the one behind the wheel.
