on speed channel. anyone else watch it. i have it all recorded and im catching up on it right now. personally, i think it is some of the best flat out racing you will see on TV. the guys go completely wide open, balls to the wall and put on a great show.

i watched all of first season, and so far this second season is looking pretty bad ***. alot of hard driving, alot of dumb driving... and alot of pushing the limits of what should be done in these cars.

Is that the one where they're all driving the solstice GXP's?

Personally my favorite car/racing show has been that one where they took a few drivers from different aspects of racing (SCCA autocross, D1 drifting, oval track, etc) and set them up each in different cars with different teams and put them up against each other in each of their events so they were out of their element for most of the time. It was cool seeing some of the drivers adapt to the new style of racing they've never competed in. I think the young kid in the vette and also the drifting guy (Ken Gushi maybe? I forgot) did the best.

i think you are talking about the forza challenge, which was a neat show. but setup has some of the best edge of the seat racing i have seen. ever.

the guys really just go as hard as they can.

Yea thats forza motorsports challenge. The best was trying to see all the other racers attempt drifting. None of them could string together more than one sideways pitch in a row.

I've caught Setup a few times and they definitely do run those cars hard.
