I agree and have sent a note to the History Channel to that effect. Even
if it had been one good shot per car with a voice over about who they were;
where from; the car; and how they did in the race (if they did well)
interspersed in the "story" they wanted to tell - it would have been a much
more interesting presentation. I know that if I had paid that kind of
money to be involved in a "televised event", I sure would feel deprived
(even if I won some of the prize money).

A personal commentary, but I was somewhat disappointed in the show. I
think they could have done a much better job in explaining the whole
rallying process, and instead of choosing just a select few
cars/competitors, they could have explained the various classes of cars,
conditions of entry, details as to the cars themselves. I would have
liked to have seen more of ALL the competitors.
Cheers.
