IanBrannan Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago They did try, I know cos I did some stuff for a pilot of it but it never happened beyond that for whatever reason. They did those online short things instead. Drive to Survive has a massive budget though to be fair, and it is a good show because they have those resources to be everywhere at all times, but that is very expensive. To put it like for like, Drive to Survive has a bigger budget than the entirety of world speedway I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the effect it's had though, it's sent F1 stratospheric, especially in the US who now have 3 sell out GP's and it's doubled their tv audience... and probably more importantly attracted a younger demographic worldwide. The estimated budget was between $5m & $10m, that was for a 20+ race series worldwide though and probably included some kind of rights payment. WBD could probably have done it a lot cheaper being the rights holders. Meanwhile we have a 6 x World Champion and the only thing we know about him is he's "big happy" after each GP he wins 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
