Even More Car Shows are Coming to Netflix

Netflix has added two new car shows to its roster and renewed the popular show Fastest Car for a second season. 

The streaming video service has announced two new car-themed original series that will debut in coming months: Car Masters: Rust to Riches and Hyperdrive.

Car Masters: Rust to Riches follows Gotham Garage owner Mark Towle as he and his team find inexpensive vintage vehicles, fix them up and flip them – hopefully at a profit. Netflix says Towle has “perfected the upgrade and trade model, using sweat equity and sheer car genius to turn rusty wrecks into six-figure paydays.” Season 1 of the series will consist of 8 episodes and will launch on Netflix on September 14th.

Hyperdrive sounds a bit more interesting, in our opinion. The show is described as a “high-stakes tournament series where daring drivers from across the globe compete for the glory on one of the largest automotive obstacle courses ever constructed,” which makes it sound like Hollywood’s take on the Race of Champions. Season 1 will include 10 episodes and will launch in early 2019. The series is currently being filmed at a studio in Rochester, NY.

Netflix has also renewed Fastest Car for a second season. The show is fairly self-explanatory – pitting owners of ‘sleeper’ cars and exotic cars against each other to see who has, well, the fastest car. “The sleeper-vs.-supercar competition show, Netflix’s first global original motor series, returns for a second season as drivers race toward the final showdown,” the streaming video service said in a release.

Netflix has one last thing for you to get excited about, so long as you are a race fan. The streaming service is currently filming a 10-part docuseries that follows the 2018 Formula 1 season. The docuseries will follow the infamously secretive world of F1, giving fans a rare look inside the world’s largest motorsports series. It’s being produced by James Gay Rees, the same guy who produced Senna, so race fans definitely won’t want to miss it.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
