Its a nice idea. Three sleepers against a Supercar in a 7-day build-up to a 4-car quarter mile drag race. There are some great (and surprising) cars, clever engineering, and the determined persistence of the participants to get that last drop of power to deliver on the day. However, the producers wring every bit of tear-jerking blah-yak out of the back stories, which makes for really painful viewing and keeps the skip button within thumbs reach. I'd like to see the same concept of program in a more serious form, that goes beyond this quasi-reality/drama genre of programming. There are exceptions, but be prepared, the majority of the Supercar drivers in the episodes are the most obnoxious, OTT, excessive characters I have had the misfortune to watch. I hope the concept gets re-hashed at some time in the future into a more palatable viewing experience.
It's not about the race. It's about the people and their cars. Each episode introduces us to four new drivers (plus friends and family). The show is about their stories, which unfold as they prepare their cars for a 10 second drag race; three sleepers (souped-up piles of junk) against one bona fide supercar. The people and the cars are what the show is about. The race is just how each episode ends. If you want to watch racing, pick a different show.
The show is about 40 minutes of talking and 30 seconds of racing. The owners of the cars talk about their ride and what they've done to it, but it seems very repetitive and drawn out. There's a lot of build up for 30 seconds of racing
In typical American reality-TV fashion, there's an endless amount of cheesy dramatisation and very little actually working on the cars. Everything is so painfully , it feels like the show is made for people with IQ below 70; Supercars owners are intentionally chosen and framed to be as obnoxious as possible and the underdog car builders are have the same repetitive sob-story. Way too much BS and way too little racing and building.
What is great about this series, is the people and their stories. Not only is the Fastest Car filled with neat vehicles for gear heads, but it features amazing stories of struggle and perseverance. I love this production.
