A little off topic, but still carrera related.
Just curious if anyone else ever watches this show? They just had an episode that was essentially all porsches. Snow drift school with C4s's, and a the host (Tanner Foust) drove a boxster to meet a guy who let him drive his GT. All positive comments on the pcars except the Boxster. It garnered a few lsnub nosed remarks such as the comment "If Porsche was ever to build a chick car it would be the automatic boxster". Of course if I drove Exotic Supercars every day I'd probably find the boxster a little less than adequate too.
I have watched it a couple times. Typical retarded TV from Speed. Not a single amount of interesting information or opinions. Just a dood sliding a performance car around with mindless banter. *yawn*
Sorry. Speed TV leaves much to be desired. It's a total snooze fest of mostly NASCRAP related boredom.
*rant off*

The stuff on Speed is just crap! I watched that show and the Porsche winter driving school was amusing but the host is useless and we get no interesting info about any of the cars.
Aside from the Rolex series, ALMS and the less than exciting F1 races there is not much worth watching on speed.
Car Crazy??? Barry Maguire scares me!!! allot!
Em kay.
Something seems a miss to me....
Uh...yeah, ok.
Don't get me started.
Nevermind. In my personal opinion, NASCAR needs to go back to its roots. Stock cars. If NASCAR made its series into something like the Australian V8 Super Car series, WOW. I'd be all over it. Why? Because, it is a car based on an actual car that is able to be purchased by the public. And the racing is absolutely ***** out.
Just watch this:
2007 V8 highlights
There is some seriously fast, crazy, nutsoid racing in that series. I give credit to those crazy Aussies for creating such great racing.

At 190-200mph going back to the old days would kill drivers. The cars are 850HP cages with keeping the drivers alive after they hit a wall or roll down the track. NASCAR is not as much fun to watch from a distance but from inside the car the is a lot going on. Put the front of you car under the rear end of the guy in front of you @ 198mph. I wish the other series (ALMS and ROLEX) could find a way to market their product better.
The only thing worth watching is ALMS and the ROLEX series.. I hope they cover the 24h of Lemans too... everything else is garbage... NASCAR, Nascar trucks and Monster trucks
Sure, that's fine and all, it's just racin'
I like the fact that in Nascar a pit crew is armed with pry bars and sledgehammers in order to get a car back on the track. IMO the sport is a lot better these days with the new cameras and everyone on mics. If you want stock cars, that's easy to find.
Ironically, I don't think most drivers are nearly as opinionated about the type of racing as most fans though.
BTW, that picture is a bit unfair, I look much better now that I cut my hair. I still have the white speedos though.
I agree the show wasn't the best and the host annoys me (not as bad as the other SPEED 30 min car shows though
) but I set it on my DVR anyway. I'll make a decision after another episode or 2.
I'll try not to jump on the nascar bashing bandwagon but you have to admit the marketing reps did a great job to be able to turn the most boring racing series into the commercial success it has become. I'd watch a Rolex race over a NASCAR race anyday, but apparently I'm in the minority.
Oh, and the BEST racing SPEED covers are ranked as follows: 1) AMA Motocross 2) AMA Supercross 3) MOTOGP 4)AMA Superbike/Supersport 5) Rolex 6) ALMS
In reverse order, #6 being best right?
Actually it's fun to watch NASCRASH on the couple road circuits like Sonoma.
It's the bloody circles that make me dizzy.
Plus NASCRAP is really not about the cars, it's a driver popularity contest.
Kinda gay, not that there's anything wrong with that.... ha.
At least that Supercars show has shown a few different cars you wouldn't normally see, beats the hell outta most of their shows.
I think the show is pretty stupid, but I have to admit I'll check it out just to see the cars. I don't plan on catching it each week like Top Gear, but if I see it when scrolling, I'll stop and watch.
Agreed. Fifth gear used to be better before they began using a drift competition between Plato and Tiff as a component of deciding which car wins a shootout. Man am I ready for that fad to die down.
Vicki on the other hand makes the show worth watching totally on her merits alone.
Speed...what is that? The only goal behind this channel is to cater to beer-guzzling redneck morons. Finally, blue-collar America has a TV channel. Oh, I forgot about FOX! Ok, two channels.
Agreed, It's so strange that "Speed TV" does not have decent coverage of World Rally Championship either. I want to see WRC, Lemans, and Dakar, but coverage just isnt' available. Some guys at the top seem to think they know what we want I guess.
Every time I look at their channel all I get is some dude with a goatee making a blinged out rim on a "computerized" CNC while they fight with Boo Bear or some other pudgy character. Either that or some guys with matching red shirts trying to push the latest MOPAR motor bling or spark plugs or something.
Hey but I did see that Porsche episode in the snow and with the GT - it did have some nice driving, and the guy was pretty funny. But yeah, it's kind of like it's all dumbed down for us.
+1 on this...I do enjoy watching NASCAR. Consider it an outright speed contest with potentially disastrous results rather than a low-speed corner contest and it's a lot easier to swallow...I'd never say that these guys are doing any less racing than F1 or ALMS or anything else--just DIFFERENT. Also, the old "aw, shucks" attitude is pretty humorous at times.=
But DW needs to retire.
