Care to explain for those who missed it?

once again, DR features and info are a little light on this "motors" channel, but DR has 2 listings in the next three days unless dropped in favour of, well, Steam Powered Chariot racing from kazhaksatn or the Iranian lawnmower first rounds................

A very very poor program built as a pastiche of Top Gear, although admitting that it isn't TG or a rival to TG..

OK, so drag racing got some screen time, but it's the kind of screen time you don't want your sport to receive..

Fortunately I recorded on the sky+ box and watched the majority of the program at 6x speed..

Promised so much, delivered so little..

Program was dire, what an insult to the sport.

A load of wannabees with no idea about much, and certainly no idea about what drag racing is all about.

An e-mail to Motors TV perhaps....!
