If you didn't get to see it last season, you missed an exciting series. Ten Solstice GXP drivers were selected to compete at several tracks, under several conditions. They had to have their own crews, do their own mods, and even get sponsors. It was fun to watch, even tho the backtalking at times rivaled your favorite soaps, I'm sure.
Feb 21 on Speed Channel. Don't miss it!

I got yelled at a while back for saying they were using the Solstices (it was supposed to be a secret), one of the sponsors told me and they weren't supposed to I guess. It was a product sponsor that supplies stuff for the cars. I am glad the so called cat is out of the bag.

I thought it was funny how the kid declined a sponsor and then eventually got bumped from the show.
What a Bonehead move!
I would bet that we have all made mistakes similar to that. My ego was strong as a young man.
I know it would be pretty expensive to do, but mixing up different vehicles every race would be interesting. They could go though the entire GM lineup and end in the Zr1.

I liked the way they've paired up the drivers. That Brazilian one looks like he could cause some trouble....should be interesting!

I was glad to see which ones were the first to be sent home - they could have really caused so,me trouble for the other drivers!

party with everyone. Some of you owe me a beer.
Did anyone catch the moment in episode 2 when one of the rejected drivers blamed his
poor performance on the turbo kicking in and throwing him off line?
Does that actually happen?!

That was the same guy who complained the Koni's weren't right and the setup on the car was loose... yet his team mate indicated the car drove just fine for her.
I agree, that guy was just too nervous and refused to take any responsibility for his own actions. Spinning out twice in one race is too much (and once in practice)- he was dangerous. And the blond woman - a competition is NOT the place to get your first experience!
