Any of you boys seen CSE NY tonight? Danica was the star of the dumbest race oriented tv drama ever! Dumb, dumb dumb! Although now the rest of a big tv audience now thinks that star Mazdas are Indy cars that race in Monaco. Evident they didn't ask anyone about "authenticity". But my dad used to tell me " Don't look at that as reality son, it's just Hollywood".
Didn't watch. From pre-broadcast teases it looked like a poor copy of the CSI Miami episode made with CART several years ago.
ever seen "Driven" :p :
nough said :s mokin: :laugh:
It must have been terrible as DF hasn't even gushed over it.
For anyone who doesn't know racing, it probably looked a little far fetched but do able.Quote:

Does anyone know what race the picture of the BMW Sauber in mid-crash was from? They used the picture to explain Danica's character's crash at Monaco.
I liked the Ferrari and McLaren reference and the simplified explanation of KERS.
Was it a Star Mazda? They called it a Formula BR2. I thought it might be one of the Skip Barber series cars.Quote:

I didn't watch the show, as I don't watch CSI, but BMW's only real scare crash was Kubica in Canada of 07Quote:

I was hoping Pimp Parsons from Go-Daddy would get to be on the show too. :p :
I don't watch CSI as a rule...but usually like CSI NY if I do watch it. Had better things to do...like sorting my sock drawer...
I wouldn't have watched, except that my father and I were in the hotel room together. From what I remember it was an exact copy of of the CSI Miami episode, right down to the killer.Quote:

Yeah they used Kubica's crash for the character's crash. The names of the races were hilarious too, the 'Singapore 400'; the 'Rio 500', etc...Quote:

Thanks for the laugh!Quote:

Not sure when this NY episode will be airing in the UK, I'm guessing it was the TV-episode equivalent of that Driven film for realism and such? I'd be more inclined to try and make the effort to watch it at some time if Danica wasn't in it though.
Danica only had a supporting role and was onscreen for 10mins tops. Oh and the driver that died apparently inhaled flames through closed-face helmet and nomex headgear without suffering any other burns from the fire itself...???Quote:
