I saw a few months ago or last year a TV show about Multimatic building the FR500C for Grand Am Cup racing.

Does anyone know where to locate it? I've searched all over the net and you tube just returns crap.

I think I know the show you're talking about. Was it on the Speed Channel? If so, check the speed channel website www.speedtv.com

Well, at least it's not Two wheels tuesday anymore.. Gee, I can't wait til next week. joy.

Hey! I though 2 wheel tues was a pretty good idea. Just didn't have all the best shows. I used to catch mma racing when I got home from work at 3am. That shit is hot. Mad respect to those jockeys.

As far as the show, I watch speed every day and this is the first time I've heard of it. Are you sure it was on speed channel? I tried searching through google for a second and came up with zilch. But I did find this: http://www.spike.com/full-episode/mustang-track-car/34090

Continue jacking.

Some of them are cool, I'll give them that. lol.

and yeah, it was speed channel that did the coverage. It was the same one that was covered in an issue of 5.0 or MM&FF. It showed a red one that had crashed into a wall and I actually saw it happen on video. It was so much cooler live, but I did feel bad for the driver.

You can blame MTV for the death of quality content. It is much cheaper to hire a couple of camera operators and pay a 12-year old in china $0.10 a day to edit the film of a reality show than it costs to put out a full crew to cover a race. I remember back to the glory days of when ESPN was a new network and then SPEED came by when ESPN went to crap and made me happy again. And now SPEED is going into the shitter, maybe the VERSUS network will take up the challenge?

This is something that kills me everyday. those two or three nascar free months are my favorite times of the year. Ten years ago was the pinnacle of the speed channel.

I think this thread needs a title/location change before the mod gets pissed.

How about taking it back the original theme for the OP????:tj:

Not the Show about building the car but one about the Mustang Challenge racing.. Not bad but it turns a bit "reality show"

I have this video. It's called something... "Boy Racer". I forgot the whole title. Haven't watched it for awhile. It was a Discovery Channel exclusive. I rented it from Nextflix. I found out this was never released on video purchase at stores. You would've had to buy it from the Discovery website for a lmiited time. It is deffinitly a badass documentary on how they built and engineering our car as a road racer.
