evilscorp Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Watched the first episode and start of the second, a good test of driver skill with high level of entrants and cars look big budget. Hopefully they get some compensation for the damage they cause to them lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Weirdly enough just posted on FB about it. Watched it last night, started out OK but anyone get the feeling not everyone is doing it in one take?Clearly actual driftcar, drift experience and hydro are going to give you a massive advantage but there are some glaring anomalies with people/cars doing much better than they should. Particularly, dare I say it, the female ones. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly, dare I say it, the female ones. Cant say I noticed the female drivers getting help. Felt the course was a good equaliser and the variation in skill level was obvious. Especially mid season with Mx5 and girl in e30 and also s15 convertible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) the 350z girl had a clean go. But you might be right or wrong. Its hard to tell. Some of the drivers in episode 1 were absolute garbage. Also certain cars are easy to control and dont take huge amount of skill to drift. They need to ditch the excessive arab style commentary. It ruins the experience a little when everything needs to be explained. But i suppose its similar to those japanese gladiator style obstacle course tv shows. Three commentators is a bit over the top Episode 2, "oh we can see shes distraught" no we cant see lol we need you to tell us.....

Umster Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 It's actually pretty decent! Shame that you see one or two drivers with more money than talent. Not sure why we need 4 hosts but don't mind the commentary. The cars and tracks are epic. Would love to give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverthorn Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 For anyone interested, Fielding answered a few common questions over on YouTube. No compensation for damages, or any payment whatsoever actually. No doubt a few sponsorship agreements behind the scenes with some drivers though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilogikal1 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Aside from the lack of prize money in certain cases, that’s no different to any other motorsport though. I can’t think of a single one that compensates competitors for self-inflicted damage to vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 But track day organisers don't take in the Megabucks like Netflix does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 F1 does though, they don’t pay when Seb falls over himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
