It's the day of the Tallapegga Twenty, and Peg and her trusty sidekick, Cat, must build a car from various items they find in the junkyard. When they arrive at the racetrack, they see that the other cars are much bigger and cooler than their own. They've got a really big problem! Will Peg and Cat be the first to complete 20 laps? To win, they'll have to use their maths skills - and remember not to give up, even when it seems as though they just can't win. On your marks, get set, go!
