Presenter Grace Webb explains the role and basic mechanics of large and/or fast vehicles, usually ending up in the driving seat for a demonstration.[1]

The format is similar for each episode; Munnings/Webb summons Speedie, a remote controlled car, to deliver an envelope revealing the theme of the episode. Three machines are featured, from which she chooses her favourite. Vox pops with children share their thoughts on the vehicles.

A glam metal soundtrack is provided by The Darkness.[2]

The show's second series premiered on 21 October 2019; Munnings left the series to focus more on her rally racing career after receiving sponsorship from Red Bull,[3] and was replaced by Grace Webb.[4] With this, the series was renamed to Grace's Amazing Machines.
