If anyone fancies a read there are a couple of participants posting on some of the pistonheads threads (when they dont get deleted and stuff lol).

Current one is:

I quite enjoyed it. Not really a fan of the \'drama\', wish they\'d concentrate more on the racing, the abilities of the drivers and the techniques etc involved.

Looking forward to seeing what Glenn makes of it all, and i can\'t wait to see the girls put in some good times and drive the cars hard. Think the RX-8s are going to prove pretty quick, a few mags here rate them as fast round a track as an M3...which, granted, might not be the quickest car on the planet...but still quick enough to make entertaining viewing.

Also, when you compare the RX-8 and M3 on paper, seems ridiculous that the two would be comparable in terms of track times. But i guess that RX-8 must be in it\'s element around circuits.

Anyway, can\'t wait to see how the program unfolds! :cool

Well if you look at the lap times in Autotrader the RX8\'s are pretty much the slowest thing at any event, normally by quite some margin.

Im interested to see the Brands times, as im not too familiar with Knockhill and Cadwell so dont have much to compare too on those tracks.

Far too much like Big Brother for me. But, a lot of people watch Big Brother and I dont, so, what do I know?

I know I would rather see much more driving and less other stuff. I think their times were a bit slow, cause they were really scared of being kicked out if you lost control. Surely, this is not the fastest way to drive?

I couldnt figure out what most of the selection criteria had to do with racing, though.  eg - being submerged in a sinking helicopter sumilator???  Have all the F1 boys, and all MSA licence holders in the UK been through this test???

I also dont know why Women complain that there are no women in Motorsport. One of them said " there is no category for women".   Err, there is no category that excludes women, so what\'s the problem? Get a car and go racing, thats all you have to do.

Ok, lets hope the future programs are about the racing!  Fantastic exposure for the RX-8, though

[MikeLMR]

the only good bit about it was that they used the rx8 ... I thought the title music was particulary distasteful ! Its been made to grab ratings and thats it.

If you want to see how well they are doing during the races etc, its being covered in autosport at the mo\'.

 Looks like being a 1 horse race at the mo\'.

Hi Lee,

I was coming from the angle of - for what the car is (bit like FDDreamer has stated).  Sure it won\'t be as fast as many of the UK circuit cars, but should be bloody quick for what it is.

Only 239hp with 1350kgs?? pretty damn good in my books!

[Glenn Butcher]

For the DVD scooby etc....

Is it in AVI or MPG format so that other people will be able to download (as I will host it on site) hopefully won\'t get into trouble but I\'m sure it should get some interest OUTSIDE the UK.

Let me know.


.ps Helps if I log in as myself!

They are slow.  Very slow...

Last round the T Cars were faster but about 7 secs a lap which is 14yr olds in cars restricted to 100mph.

At Oulton they were doing about the same lap times as the Minis iirc

I bet the instructor was considerably quicker. Remember none of these women have raced before - one of them was DQd for lying about previously holding a race license...

[OK, having read some of the discussion on Petrolheads I take that back. It\'s not going to persuade me to cancel my order however. ]
