Channel 4's car show Bangers: Mad for Cars has been reportedly axed after 'poor ratings'.
The show sees British rapper Tinie Tempah and stunt driver Naomi Schiffs going head-to-head to find the best modern classic cars from the 1980s, 1990s and 00s and ultimately deciding which 'banger' is the best.
The motoring show was first launched in October 2023, but it seems it's meant to be short-lived after it was not renewed for a second season, as per The Sun.
A TV source told the publication: 'It's so tough for car shows right now, especially on mainstream channels.
'Bangers: Mad For Cars was always viewed within Channel 4 as a one-off.'

The insider added 'a second series would likely have been on the table' if views were significantly surging, although that didn't happen.
'But sadly it's not to be and the show's being parked, and may never restart.'
The cars series was planned to fill the gap left by the iconic BBC's Top Gear.
Like Top Gear, Bangers: Mad for Cars also invited celebrities on the show, as they were taken out on a test drive, including football star Ian Wright.
