I hope they spend 80% of the show talking about the drivers, and cutting to the celebrity hosts to interject witty comments, and not focus on the actual driving (sarcasm - but this is pretty much all shows now)
But it looks potentially awesome.

I had to read the thread title a few times to make sense of what I was reading...then...pure intrigue!
Do you even drift bro?
If this has the Dino Dimension then I'm ded
Looks like it could be fun. Car based ninja warrior sounds good on paper, hopefully it is fun to watch. Will be checking it out regardless.
Unfortunately laws here in germany don't allow rockets being strapped on cars.
Notice anyone missing? If you want to see your gramps again, meet me at drift mountain. Hehe
Show is a solid but I want more car diversity. Although I love the 240sx there was too many this season.
Man, it had the usual reality contestant fluff and making it longer than it needed to be but shit was super fun to watch. I almost cried when bl
I'd kill for a rally version now.
both Sheriff and the French homie with the Charger got eliminated. The other French bro was the best driver imo too bad he didn't win. Atsushi was really good too. Favorite driver was definitely Fielding as he's the most I related to when it came to driving, just send it. Lol.

I've been scrubbing through episodes, but I really find this kind of thing hard to watch. The American Ninja Warrior format is just incredible for taking an amazing spectacle and making it as boring and mundane as possible. Having to sit through the tragic life stories of all the competitors every time, the hosts all competing to see who can overreact the hardest, repeated explanations of simple concepts, seeing the same course run so many times that it loses all novelty; it's just exhausting. Thankfully with Netflix I can skip to the good stuff, but there's only like 15 watchable minutes per 45-minute episode :P
This was a fun show! I thought they got the balance just right between the race action and getting to know the racers. The races were exciting and unpredictable and got me hooked.
I also agree that Omar's door technique was bullshit.

I am almost done with this show and it has been shockingly competent so far. The hosts are pretty meh (how is Rutledge Wood the worst?) and the format is a bit wonky but they do a decent enough job showing the actual racing to keep it interesting.
It is actually much better than I thought it would be and makes me hopeful that it can be cleaned up for a second season. The concept is much more interesting than I expected.

Really enjoying this. The flow of the episodes is weird, like not fitting all the 12 racers into one episode but it's no biggie seeing as the whole season is there anyways. But it's a lot of fun to watch and the cars/skills are impressive. Maybe a bit too much filler on life stories but it doesn't bog it down too much.
Unlike other people's thoughts on the drama aspect, I felt like it was just enough to cement this as the best anime of the year. Incredible show, can't wait for the next season.
I did find it kind of incredulous that they kept reiterating the South African girls dad selling his tow truck to pay their expenses to the competition... Did they not compensate these drivers at all? Was there no budget left for travel after filming Charlize Theron's cameo in South Africa?

I hope this isn't a necrobump since I saw no other thread on this.
I was looking to binge something out of my comfort zone and this fit the bill perfectly since I am no gearhead nor much into reality shows. Me and my date ended up binging this in a single day in one sitting, in part due to the quarantine but also because the show was pretty damn fun. The stunts were inventive, most of the participants had a fair amount of (positive) character to them and the camerawork was excellent in delivering the thrills and drama. And a big plus also for having contestants from all around the globe and a surprisingly large amount of females as well. Definitely exceeded expectations on all fronts.
If there is a second season (I hope there is), then I do hope they tone down some of the more cringey attempts at making the participants more menacing or crazy or whatever. "Baby-faced assassin," "Wild Child," and so on felt way too dumb, especially since they all felt like characters without them. I also would love if they focused a bit more on what was going on behind the scenes, because it was really clear that these guys got along very well , respected eachother a lot and were literally rooting for their direct competitors, even if it meant they may drop off the competition. That stuff felt really wholesome and would have made this show stand out even more, especially in these polarizing times.
