What do you guys think? I know some people on here watch Clarkson, May, and Hammond go at it. But yeah...I want to see the first episode before I start speculating....

Kinda missing some of the charm of the UK version, but yea, I'd check it out!


The one guy is Tanner Foust of Supercars Exposed (on HD Theater)
http://www.speedtv.com/programs/supercars-exposed/

He drives rally, drifting (meh), and time attack (yay!) and is kinda like ken block w/o being such a showboat/know-it-all Tongue

I'm sure Ken Block can out drive every person on this board. Don't get me wrong he's definitely overrated, but not terrible.


I would def. watch TGA

IMO Ken Block is an average driver at best. Not average as in all the people driving every day, I mean average for the level at which he competes.

I watch a lot of top gear and seems like these guys are trying too hard. Doesnt mean I wouldn't watch it. I like the idea.

America is trying hard for car shows, sadly they find a cast that is the same trying hard. A real shame.

Def trying too hard. And Tanner is a great driver but has zero personality-- and not in a good way like James May. In a bad way like that one friend who you try to MAKE cool but never quite gets there.
