SPEED junkie Guy Martin will swap the garages of Grimsby for an Indian adventure in his latest documentary.

The Grimsby-born motorcycle racer and TV personality will star in Channel 4's upcoming two-part documentary Our Guy In India.

The show will see Guy embark on a 1,000 mile trip across India to compete in a race called Rider Mania – the world's largest gathering of Royal Enfield motorbikes.

Other scenes show Guy riding alongside a 50-strong biker gang, visit Asia's biggest junk yard and climb to the top of India's tallest building, the 833ft Imperial skyscraper in Mumbai.

Guy also braves the elements in the show by experiencing the true force of a monsoon, as well as sleeping rough with rats for company.

A spokesperson for Channel 4 said the show will see the sideburned star "completely out of his comfort zone".

They said: "Guy Martin has a love for adventure and they don't come much bigger than an epic 1,000 mile trip across India, culminating in one of the world's maddest bike races.

"'Rider Mania' is the largest gathering of Royal Enfield motorbikes on the planet. Guy wants to ride there and win it at the end of his two-week trip.

"Along the way, Guy with his love of tea, lorry repair, motorbikes and daredevil risk taking, introduces us to a side of modern India rarely seen before. Only Guy would want to visit the largest lorry repair yard in Asia."

Elsewhere in the programme Guy buys a classic Royal Enfield motorcycle at a Delhi market that came with a traditional Hindu blessing.

Famed for his love of tea, the Grimsby adrenaline junkie gets the chance to enjoy a well-earned brew at a historic 250-year-old tea plantation.

Our Guy In India comes after he starred in his well-received programme Speed.

Speed saw Guy attempt to break the speed record for various vehicles, including a hovercraft.

The Grimsby racer has started to become a household name throughout the country after a number of popular TV programmes, including Guy Martin's Passion For Life, Guy Martin's Spitfire and The Boat That Guy Built. His book, Guy Martin: My Autobiography also proved a popular Christmas stocking filler after it made the top ten book sales in the UK during the festive period, with more than 30,000 copies flying off the shelves.

Guy hit the headlines of the Telegraph earlier this month when he appeared as a special guest at Caistor Grammar School at the Duke Of Edinburgh Awards evening held at the school.

The first part of Our Guy In India will be shown on Channel 4 on Sunday at 9pm.
