The Setup on Speed - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

tysonK · 2007-04-18, 04:32 PM

Basically a reality show for 10 amateur drivers/teams to compete for a 100k contract, factory ride, and test driver position for pontiac.

So far they have given the teams a limited race team shop. The teams will be able to install/not install the stuff.

Unlimited Bridgestone tires they look like RE01R's.

They are driving the Solitce GXP trim.

Let the racing begin.

MattR · 2007-04-18, 04:56 PM

Should be a cool show.

I actually kinda liked Forzo Showdown, this looks even better.

tysonK · 2007-04-18, 04:58 PM

The young kid is getting owned so far. ahaha.

Forgotten · 2007-04-18, 05:04 PM

I don't like that kid either. Forza Showdown was pretty entertaining, hopefully this will be too.

Libila · 2007-04-18, 05:42 PM

I can't find it on Dish!

Dean · 2007-04-18, 07:15 PM

Kevin Deetz (sp?) and Ron Bauer are both on it. (NW region Solo drivers some have met) Hope they make it to the 10...

I'm trying to figure out the rules. I think they started with 20 drivers (Dietz, who actually competed in a Solstice at Solo Nats last year) was one of them; then I see now that they are down to 10 drivers, with Ron still in, and Kevin as his crew chief. I think the elimination round in the karts might've taken out Kevin (who, I've heard, hadn't raced in karts before, though he's probably one of the fastest Solstice drivers there is).

Dean · 2007-04-19, 11:30 AM

They started with 100 or more "drivers" I think which I bet included Kevin and Ron, but guess he didn't make it to the 20 for whatever reason, so he became Ron's crew chief when Ron made it to the 10.

tysonK · 2007-04-19, 11:46 AM

It became 10 when they ran Willow Springs or whatever track they were at in a Shifter Kart and the times were used to qualify.

NevadaSTi · 2007-04-19, 12:21 PM

tysonK · 2007-04-27, 05:00 PM

I thought Rhys was a little over the top, but it was funny.

MattR · 2007-04-27, 05:23 PM

Yeah, Rhys was laying it on pretty thick.

Dean · 2007-04-27, 08:41 PM

I'm just glad the punk who tuned down the sponsor and his stuck up Dad got the walk... And 3/8 mile flat ovals make you work, thats for sure.

Thanks scott.

No Kidding, all that jeremy guy proved to me is that he can't make a clean pass to save his life. AND he's a crybaby...."Daddy, Daddy

I know! This episode made me laugh. I think he did a good job keeping that car on the track though, and that was some good film editing with the end of that 2nd race. Actually made me think I was watching a real (pro-real) race.

Also, some of the racing reminded me of my GT3/GT4 replays (at least, how I drive in that game). So funny!
