TV motor programme returns

Ireland's TV motoring programme Xcellerate is starting a new season on March 8 on TV3.

The new presenters are Paddy Comyn from the Irish Times motoring pages (right above), TV3 sports broadcaster Kirsteen O'Sullivan, and Alan Ennis.

The programme, which previously aired on the 3e channel, will deal with all types of vehicles from the affordable and practical to the most desirable models to hit the Irish streets in 2011.

Among the features will be challenge with the Irish Naval Service, a look into the underworld of stolen cars in Ireland and a trip to Sweden for the MX5 ice race.

The programme will air at 10.30pm.
