I thought it was ok to good. I loved the Viper track session & the Lambo high speed run.
I think Tanner F. should have a bigger roll in the show. He is without a doubt the "car guy" in the group & he has the best communication skills.

The Viper segment was inspired by Clarkson's review of the Exige against an Apache attack helicopter.
The challenge there was IMHO somewhat even as the chopper could not leave the airspace of the airfield they were on. In that sense its movement was restricted and Clarkson had some leeway in avoiding a lock by sliding the car around.
In contrast the Viper segment felt staged as I felt that with no restrictions whatsoever, the Cobra would have been able to nail the viper without much issue.

I thought they had a show called THE RACING CHEF. Someone on ARD said the guy put on a faux southern accent for the show.

^ One of the shows segment is supposed to be about the origins of Nascar. The guys will drive around in old American Muscle and transport moonshine.
Speed has crappy shows. But its the only channel for us to watch proper racing. I guess NASCAR gets them the $$$$ they need to keep showing us road racing.
