Emma Louise Joness plea to a rally star to be the most gentle hes ever been with someone fell on deaf ears.


The former BBC and Speedway and Racing TV presenter swapped bikes and nags for a rally car as she was WRC star Martins Sesks passenger for an exhilarating ride around a test track.


Emma stepped into the car with a petrified look on her face, and pleaded: I just want you to be the most gentle youve ever been with anybody before clarifying: Are we going to jump over anything? and asking am I properly tucked in?

And her concerns fell on deaf ears when Sesks floored it and then ragged the car around corners, causing Emma to scream her lungs out.


She soon shouted: Martin, what are you doing? after drifting sideways towards a concrete wall. The only time the sound of her screaming stopped was when the audio had to be muted as she exclaimed: S*** while you never hear it, you dont have to be a lip-reading expert to notice!

The video was posted on Instagram and her fans in the comments section lapped up the video, as one hilariously wrote: That was bloody hilarious! Another said: That has to be one of the funniest videos Ive ever seen. Well done Emma and Martins I hope your ear drums didnt burst.

Emma screamed her way around the track


Emma has grown a huge following

While another quipped about Sesks' headache with all the screaming: Sending Martin Nurofen, thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.


A fourth said: 10/10 for bravery! I think the driver must be operating under the scream if you want to go faster rule...

As another joked: Good lord. I wondered why my dogs went a bit mental the other day! Could hear you from the other side of the country!

While a sixth added: Different breed them drivers ... respect to you Emma given it a go funny tho!

She said: "When I did the rugby league over at Odsal I saw the old track there. But Ive not seen it in action. It would be nice to get it back in action wouldnt it?

"I think this is the most proud my dad has been of me. He was like, 'Emma I used to go and watch that as a kid, I love it.' Its been nice talking about it because its brought back nice memories for him.

"Weve been to one of the events at Belle Vue Manchester at the National Speedway Stadium. Hes been giving me a semi-briefing on the history of the sport."
