'You have to be twice as good'

Stanislaus, 18, started karting at the age of four and Appiagyei, 19, picked up racing when he was five. They met at Buckmore Park Karting, in Kent, where Lewis Hamilton trained as a child. Between them, they have won over 400 trophies and broken track records. Their goal is to make the transition from karts to professional racing and eventually break into Formula 1.

Stanislaus was disqualified from karting races for being too quick. Appiagyei believes there is a lack of opportunity in motorsport for people of colour. Steve believes his son has to be twice as good as his white counterparts to succeed. He believes that if people in powerful positions are not like him, it's harder to impress them.

Lewis Hamilton is the first and only black driver to race in Formula 1. He set up the Hamilton Commission to improve representation of black people in motorsport. The commission's research suggests that the proportion of blacks in F1 is less than 1%. It is expensive to enter the sport. Stanislaus and Appiagyei meet their idol Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes' headquarters.

The cost of competing in motorsport is high. Stanislaus and Appiagyei have to raise £20,000 to get a spot in a professional race at Donington Park. Their families have a lot of financial problems.   The series is called "The Race" and the first episode is on air now. It's about Stanislaw and his family.
