Never heard of it before now..., but happened upon it while flipping around today. So.....is it basically a big product-placement ad, with some pretty boring/basic rallycross-style driving going on? I got annoyed with it after about 2 minutes of Monster Engergy Drink hats and close-ups of Ford logos. The "instructors" appeared to give great advice like "ok, this time just DO it, ok?" and "you gotta push it HARDER bro!"

Is there more to it than that, or is it just a show for a couple rally pros and their sponsors to get some network time under the guise of some kind of driving competition?

And is it always Ford Fiestas?

If they have spinoff where people with tattoos make cars, everyone will use angle grinders, because sparks are extreme!
