D1GP on SPEED TV (Short Review)

[SSmith]

Actually, the show was very good. Not as good as watching Option DVD but it's better than nothing.

[Jonny Fonseca]

Well I left a comment on speeds site for D1s show ... I doubt they'll actually respond to my question in regards to the comentator lol and I also asked if theres going to be re-runs.

Anyone here know if theres going to be a re-run for todays show?

Why isn't D1 shot in HD?

Because they got most of there footage second hand from D1 japan... i do not think video option has HD available.

Well I'm finally watching it and I have initiated MUTE MODE!!! I think thats the same comentator from monster garage lol

No, that would be this man:



Brett "Big Schwag" Wagner, host of Pass Time, radio host (if I remember right), Monster Garage, and many movies.

DAMN!

LOL, this commentator is something else... but as watching the credits, I think he is Japanese. He had a Japanese last name, if he speaks Japanese he should be a shame of himself lol.

As far as this episode goes, another decent one from these guys.

lol I took a shot of tequila everytime he said DAMN! lol Just like when I watch Formula D live i take a shot everytime Jared says Oh Doctor lol

Awesome footage. The announcer has a super annoying voice but was spot on.

Can some one explain to me why Saito lost?

I beleive that you didnt like the show. You think it was decent because you love drifting and saw some of the cars and action that we all love. Imagine if option video or something similar was being aired, then would you like this show? Not trying to start something weird, but this is how I feel.

I think this show needs to be watched in mute like Slapshotnerd said.

Your partially right,

But like I said in another thread, I haven't seen good drifting on TV since like 2007 and minus the commentary and the USvsJP backdrop, I think it came close to that quality.

And seriously, we all love (or loved) Option... but if you took option and threw it on TV with just subtitles would anyone other then us hardcore fans watch it?

Now that's a legit question not a statement, I really do wonder if the broader American audience has enough patience too watch such a production.

Then again America did watch Iron Sheff for many years in all its dubbed glory! Gives me a little hope I guess, but would speed give up a 2 hours time slot for that?

They didn't shove TNA in my face like NOPI, but it also didn't put me to sleep like Rolex series. So yeah, like this show I'm in the middle.

I rather watch a show on mute then not want to watch it at all.

It might seem like I didn't like the show, but honestly it was decent... better then what I thought it would be.

I caught the 12am re-run last night, so maybe late tonight, unless they run NASCAR Victory Lane very late (big possibility from the looks of it, those cars look mean tonight).

[Jonny Fonseca]

Reruns on the east coast??? Can i watch it on o demand with comcast? Or itunes?

[Justin Banner]

Loved the footage. Hated the announcer. He's forcing his emotions and the "DAMN" comment was stupid. I think Dan Woods could have done a better job.
