It's clear it's supposed to be a repeat of the success of drive to survive. Just simply doesn't have the same magic, it looks to appeal to the American NASCAR audience but not quite anyone else.
I tried to watch it as an Australian, who's never really seen NASCAR as interesting and thought it may be fun to see what it's all about. It's very American, entertaining but just not as amazing as other motorsports. It's good to see what happens behind closed doors and it's made and produced well despite missing the mark to appeal to outsiders like drive to survive does. Not the worst but not close to the best.
