Speed Channel: Supercar Exposed

Anyone see Supercar Exposed on the Speed Channel. Not sure if they have more than one episode or a one time segment, but they tested/raced a modified F430, modified 997TT, and a modified Exige S down Canyon Drive(?) in CA. The host raced each car down and uphill vs. a pro driver. It thought it was pretty good given that it had cars other than American muscle.

Anyone else see it?

 

i saw it, thought it was ok. i thought it was going to be better though.

 

Future episodes should be better.

On a related note, see this thread: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=186344

 

the host is a pro driver too btw. he runs x games rally and formula D

 

Dumbest show ever. Poorly scripted, no information about the cars, too many commercials, too much talking about the next segments, too much air time for the damn cops, too much air time for the street lugers, etc.



Was just a bad show.

 

Doh. Sorry for the understating his skills. Tanner I think is his name.

 

Tanner Foust or Houst and the other was Townsend Bell



I only know that because they referenced it in the show 50 times

 

i saw it pretty cool

 

Sometimes Speed Channel surprises me. 2 weekends ago they had a 30 mins program on saturday morning about the Bugatti EB110! I was really suprised to see they broadcasting something about this rare car. Anyway I just wish they advertise more about these programs...because I mostly see Nascar and those redneck sports when I turn to Speed Channel.

 

I saw the EB110 segment. It was pretty cool actually, much cooler than the "supercars exposed" spot which was really just an ad for CEC wheels.

 

I missed that EB110 program (I'll have to search for re-runs).
I agree that supercars exposed wasn't that good, but I still like seeing these shows on TV. More or less in the US we either have to watch Top Gear episodes on the interenet or we just watch Nascar programming on Speed Channel.
So in my opinion it is a step in the right direction.

 

There's always MotorTrend.

 

Yesterday's episode was OK. The chick was pretty cute, but too much of that drag racing stuff. I was also surprised they dedicated the entire episode on the MB.

Anyone else see it?

 

it was ok and this show is in the right direction with cool cars and some humor. should have had more of him drifting the mb and less times drag racing it.

seems the show dumbs down the technical parts for no reason. dont they realize the only ones watching are the car fanatics? also they should just copy top gear format by having him time all the cars around a course like the stig.

 

Anyone see the last episode with VRAlexander's CGT? Thought it was pretty good. Wish they had more footage of him driving the CGT tho.

 

Pretty cool show. They need to get their facts straight though....only 55 Enzos in existance....wtf!!

 

YUP caught that, gonna give Alex a call and see when I can drive it haha!!!!

 

Lol. +1. I think the show has improved since the first episode.

 

Any kid with a web browser can Google that info...!

p.s.
Note to the show's makers: hire a kid with a web browser.

Seriously though, I just like seeing some actual sports cars on the Speed Channel, without having to watch Nascar or "reality" shows. I have scheduled recordings for Supercars Exposed and also everything related to F1 and ALMS this weekend.

 

Is there somewhere to catch this online?

 

Some so cal members cars are being featured this week. Check it out!

 

I DVR'd it, watched it, and enjoyed it... Porsches galore!

may be they have the facts straight after all the enzos that have been crashed.
