Quite. While the show itself could well be mildly entertaining, the other punters will make it a grim experience for the few attendees blessed with more than 11 brain cells.

As well as the inevitable wife-beater vests, I anticipate many tattoos and Monster logos. Perhaps even tattoos of Monster logos.
Don’t forget the vaping!!

Can imagine the car parks of the arena's this plays at will be a sight to behold, thousands upon thousands of Limited Edition Corsa's.

Interesting fact about those, theres more limited editions registered with DVLA than the regulars. Meaning the unlimited edition is actually a limited edition in itself

I predict that the fanfare and anticipation by some will only lead to a quick succession of failures, as this new show won't get the audience levels perceived.

This is being done by the people who successfully created Top Gear Live, but that was a different show altogether.

How exciting can the same cars be, doing varied stunts before it becomes boring to watch?
You only have to see the levels of crowd attendance at drift events in the UK, to realise this isn't going to be all that successful, really.
It'll be the same chavs from the drift events that go to this.

This is a genuine question, not particularly aimed at you Loyly but other PH's as well, why does someone who's built a drift car or involved in drifting become a chav?

I say this because of the amount of engineering & hard work that goes into a drift car is no joke & not cheap, some thing like the car below could easily have 20k in it, so does it make them a lesser PH because of what "scene" they're into?

I was going to say similar, after looking over the Japspeed BDC cars at autosport the amount of emginneering that goes into them is mind blowing, almost 90° steering lock most run rb26 or 2jz so engine swaps the list goes on. So much respect for the time and effort that people put into them

I'd say it's probably more aimed at the people who come to oggle the drift cars are more likely to be the chavs than majority of the participants.

The worst thing for me is that it was a line from a script, not even something he said as himself rolleyes

You mean Paul Walker is actually dead?

I thought they just killed him off from the franchise in that Porsche CGT crash.

Looks like I'll need to school a few more Jettas in my Honda two thousand at race wars to afford to go.

Usually on the back of Ibiza FR's and black Corsa's on one of those 5 year, 1st year free insurance deals.

Well I have bought some tickets (just under £100 for 2, sat quite far back). Enjoyed the top gear version of show, and have also enjoyed some of the films so will give this a chance.
