The obstacles were great, unique, and truly challenging. The drivers were absolutely talented, especially those in the finals. The course, photography, and lighting were awesome. The commentators on the other hand....
One was a former MMA fighter who had very little knowledge on professional racing and you could tell.
Rutledge Wood. This man is a legend in racing analyses. He used to host Top Gear, has driven in several races (and even won a few) and is all around a great guy and a good host for a show like this. So with his credentials and knowledge of the subject matter WHY THE HECK DID HE REMAIN SILENT THROUGH MOST OF THE COURSES? I think for season 2 they should let Rut run the show in terms of commentating and showing more of the technical aspect of it.
Take Jaio Barions Mustang for instance. That 65 fast-back was a frankenbeast car with 800 horsepower. The only thing "stock" on it was the body so why didn't they show us a little about what's going on under the hood of that monster? It was pretty sweet. Same thing with the Graff's BMWs. Both were very modified. I would have liked to see a little more of the cars and what makes them so suited to this type of competition and that is what Rut would have shined in.
