Dario Franchitti and Jacques Villeneuve are champion motorsports racers. Stocked with victories and adorned by championships, what accomplishment could they embark on that would be a true challenge? In 2008, both internationally renowned wheelmen entered the ranks of NASCAR. However, both found the transition to be one of the most difficult of their careers. After disappointing starts to the season, they must make up ground - and make it up quickly - if they are to survive the cutthroat business of surviving in stock-car racing. Follow the campaign as they struggle with more than just their race cars. Sponsorship is vital to keeping a race team operating. With the insight of their team owners and crew chiefs, Franchitti and Villeneuve receive orientation in motorsports business as well as learning the engineering nuances of their new mobile "homes." Over the course of an hour, the unique paths of two champions migrating to a new sport will show the road to Racing To America.

SUPER CAT 500 lbs of pure predator, three-inch long canines and retractable claws like switchblades. Big cats are among the fiercest four legged beasts on the planet - capable of taking down fleet-footed antelope, two tonne elephants and even human beings. NGT takes you inside the world's biggest cats - lions and tigers - to unlock the secrets of these maximum predators. New science will deconstruct the engineering of these legendary man-eaters, revealing what they are capable of, and what they're really after. Using CGI we'll peel back the layers of these top predators. A 360° CT scan of a big cat's head and jaws, plus actual dissections, reveal new insights into their engineering, sensory systems and intelligence. Archive footage and recreation of documented attacks on humans will propel us into the science and mechanics of these big predators - revealing how they think, how they work, how they hunt, and what makes them the rulers of the landscape. Crawling through Africa, we'll stalk, capture and reveal the physique, teeth, claws and ambush tactics of big Cats. GPS tracking devices will show how much land - and prey - these predators need to survive. We'll reveal their maximum appetite (over 50 pounds of meat at one sitting) and the lions' unique 'team approach' to hunting. And we'll investigate a case in Tanzania where cats have hunted humans. We'll also reveal the newly discovered ways that big cats kill. The brutish stereotype is wrong - they kill with the pinpoint accuracy of an assasin, not the clumsiness of a butcher - and we'll compare a shock troop of lions to the lone stealth of a tiger and reveal which extreme predator truly deserves the title of 'Super Cat'.

January 1st, 2007 - After taking off from Indonesia's Suribaya airport, Adam Air Flight 574 settles in for the two-hour trip to Manado. The Boeing 737 is loaded with New Year's travelers taking advantage of the country's recent discount travel boom. But somewhere over the Java Sea, the plane hits turbulence, and air traffic controllers notice the jet is hundreds of miles off course…and headed for a major storm. Air traffic controllers get in touch with the lost plane - and try guiding it back on course. But the jet's navigational systems aren't working. And the bad weather is closing in. The crew struggle to find their way - when suddenly, flight 574 disappears from radar. Rescue teams search a section of the sea the size of Ireland - but it's a fisherman who finds the first piece of wreckage. There's no hope of survivors - 102 people are killed. After months of arguing over who will pay for the salvage operation, investigators eventually retrieve the aircraft's data and voice recorders. The rest of the wreckage is left behind. When they study the black boxes, investigators realize that the crew made a series of small mistakes that doomed their plane. When they took manual control of their jet, they were betrayed by a poor understanding of their automation systems - and flew the aircraft into the sea. But pushing further, investigators find that Adam Air did not properly maintain their jets. Problems with the navigational system were well known - but never fixed. Pilots also received poor training when it came to dealing with mechanical problems. Investigators conclude that the country's entire fleet of discount carriers - not just Adam Air -- was riddled with safety issues. The investigation eventually brings about Adam Air's suspension, and large-scale reforms to Indonesia's airline industry.
