We’re looking for teams of skilled and confident drivers to take part in the most extreme driving challenges imaginable..... What do we mean by extreme? Try these for size:-
· Being chased by 2 police cars across an industrial landscape complete with tight turns, lethal obstacles and plenty of walls for the coppers to smash you into!
· Take part in your very own version of the Stephen Spielberg’s ‘Duel’ as you attempt to avoid 2 juggernauts hell bent on destroying your everyday family saloon!
· An automotive equivalent of the gladiatorial duels of ancient Rome. You’ll find yourself in a deep pit accompanied by a host of evil fork lifts, JCBs and bull-dozers hell bent on destroying your vehicle!
· Avoiding incoming tank fire!
· Approaching a 16ft ramp with sufficient speed to jump 6 buses!
Yes, Yes we know what you’re thinking – we’ll never get away with it, someone will get killed. Well there probably would be issues if there were drivers in the cars – but there won’t be..... Our teams will be operating the cars from a safe distance thanks to a combination of state of the art radio control systems, the very latest robotic technology and real time video links. Drivers will be competing in these destructive challenges from the comfort of an arcade style simulator
But this is no game! Teams will be controlling a selection of full size, real cars in a variety of high octane challenges. Cars will be destroyed!
If you’re still reading, it probably means that you’re interested in appearing on the show, so here’s some basic info:-
Teams We’re looking for teams of 3 drivers Team members should not only be good drivers, they should also be pretty confident in their abilities – arrogance is positively encouraged! Teams should have a definite identity e.g. people who work together or share an interest / hobby / passion One team member should be nominated as team captain How much time will teams need to devote to the show? If you make our shortlist a member of the production team will probably come to meet you at a time to suit your work/home schedule Teams chosen for the show will be required to attend an orientation day which we hope to hold on either a Saturday or Sunday. This will be your chance to get hands on experience of driving a full size road car via remote control
We’ll also want to film a team introduction film with teams chosen for the show. This usually takes a day
The show itself takes 2 days to film (on occasion it might be over a weekend, but we can’t guarantee this). We’ll provide you with two nights hotel accommodation (a third night will be available for teams with a long journey home), 3 meals a day and small cash payment to cover basic essentials such as beers in the bar at the end of the day When will the shows be filmed?
We are planning to shoot the series in June/July 2011. Dates will be confirmed soon
How do I apply?
Contact Brummie Jackie for details
They have specifically asked for folk who ride bikes as well as drive cars.
Probably need someone who can fly a RC helicopter, or one of the military drone pilots, I'll just drive one of the juggernauts out to kill/crush, just to get my own back on the suicidal tin box drivers I have to dodge every day!
It sounded exciting until I got to the bit about simulation lol, ah well I guess the health and safety fairies have killed any exciting stuff taking place like I used to get up to when I was a young un.
