Rob Bell finds out about the south of England's great innovations in the sporting world.

Dr Angelo Grubisic is an aeronautical engineer and British silver medallist in wing suit performance. He teaches at Southampton University and convinced them to allow him to set up the Icarus Project to develop the world's first scientifically engineered wing suit. His designs aim to increase safety in the sport and to set world records for human flight.

On the Isle of Wight Gary Lambert has developed a very special system to enable his 19-year-old daughter Natasha, who has cerebral palsy, to achieve her sporting dreams.

Dr Paul Hawkins is the genius behind Hawkeye, the tracking software used in tennis, cricket and rugby that has revolutionised the way sport is played around the world, by making the decision one hundred percent accurate. Paul shares how Hawkeye came about, and invites us to Italy to see his latest invention - VAR or Video Assisted Refereeing in action.

Rob also tries out a motorsport for the masses that was invented in the south in 1973 - lawnmower racing!
