The premise of the show is to find Australia's best car driver. Seven finalists will compete in their own cars, in a series of challenges over eight weeks, which will be scored by judges Ian Luff and Nathan Luck. Though clearly aimed at the male crowd, the choice of host is a curious. At the helm of this new series is Scott McGregor, who previously worked as a model for Channel Nine's Temptation. Doing most of his spots from Federation Square, his boyish good looks may not be the best choice for a male dominated audience. His separation from the action doesn't help either as he struggles to convince and connect on most levels.This is the second episode and the cars and drivers are tested on a regional airstrip. They go head-to-head down the stretch to see who is the fastest, and ultimately who will gain the judges' crucial points. As the show continues to test both the ability of the cars and their drivers, who will live up to the challenge?Revheads will get a kick out of watching these cars put through their paces, but there's little to interest others. Strictly a show for motoring enthusiasts who like their cars pushed to the limit.Kris Walsh, January 2008 Edited 02/02/08 06:59 AM by BFHOON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He popped up on another forum im on, which I thought was weird cause its a QLD forum. He is in SA? Punched that user name into google and he comes up on stacks of forums! He must love the internet! Nice car though none the less. Edited 02/02/08 07:47 AM by hanra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even my missus who doesnt particularly love cars like me watches it religiouslly. Reason for it's success is in most part due to the personalities of the three presenters. Like to know who the heck is the STIG ? Anybody got any ideas who he/she is?cheers, Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we know is, he's the Stig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
