Did this come from you all really loving cars?Im not a car person.

I dont lift the hood of my car and do repairs, or anything like that.

But when a really cool car drives by, I stop and look.

Theres something magical about a car thats fully tricked out with an engine that really roars.

Ive always felt like there hasnt been really anything out there in the reality space for fans of cars.

When youre putting together a reality series Survivor, etc.

you always want your viewers to be possible future cast.

How did you find your cast?We had a fantastic casting team.

It took them about 12 months.

We wanted to be as internationally diverse as possible.

We really found them everywhere.

She knows a lot about this space.

She was the first call we made, and she instantly said yes.

It was incredibly important for us that they drive their own cars.

Modify your car, bring the fastest thing it’s possible for you to.

We werent looking to restrict anyones speed.

But that was a big concern and logistical issue for us.

it was basically like lighting a 100-acre movie set.
