Hyperdrive is a thrilling reality TV show that takes the ultimate racetrack to a whole new extreme, featuring the most advanced cars and drivers from all around the world. Released on Netflix in 2019, it quickly gathered a lot of attention from car enthusiasts and adrenaline junkies. The show is hosted by talented and experienced sports commentator Lindsay Czarniak, and Michael Bisping, a professional mixed martial artist from the UK. Driving coach Stacey-Lee May also adds to the mix, passing on valuable advice to the drivers and keeping the competition lively.

The show is designed like a racing tournament, with multiple rounds of challenges and obstacle courses that test the contestants' driving, drifting, and manoeuvring skills to the limit. The racing takes place in different locations, including a huge industrial warehouse, a stunt park, and even a dockyard full of container ships. Hyperdrive is full of excitement, as well as learning and exploring new techniques in the world of car racing.

In each episode, ten contestants, ranging from amateur drivers to professional racers, compete against each other in three rounds of challenges, putting their cars 'on the line' and their driving abilities through the toughest fences. The contestants come from all over the world, each bringing their own unique driving styles, racing strategies, and cultural heritage. The drivers, selected for their exceptional driving skills, race in all sorts of cars, from Ferraris to Mustangs, Porsches to S2000's, and even a modified 4x4 for good measure.

Hyperdrive is not just about racing, it's about showcasing different driving techniques and styles, as well as the technical innovation involved in making the advanced cars used in the competition. The drivers are judged on their speed, accuracy, and style during each challenge, with the main objective is to complete the obstacle course in the shortest possible time but without incurring too many penalties. The penalties can be earned by hitting cones, missing gates or bumping into objects, and same applies for timing penalties if drivers failed to make the course on time which adds to the suspense and excitement.

As the competition unfolds, we get to see the contestants improve and learn from their mistakes, as well as the different techniques they employ. Some drivers use the traditional power and speed approach, while others rely on more technical and precision driving styles, making the competition even more riveting.

Furthermore, the show is well produced, with high-quality cinematography and engaging background stories of each driver, adding to the excitement and atmosphere of the tournament. There are also cameos from different famous personalities, including famous racecar drivers, handling challenges with the contestants in different episodes. The dynamic between the hosts and the drivers is also entertaining throughout the show, with Stacey-Lee May giving valuable feedback and advice to the drivers in between the challenges, which gives a fresh perspective to the show.

The production quality of Hyperdrive is impressive, with the obstacles designed to test both the car and the driver's skills. Some of the challenges include tight turns, steep inclines, and high-speed jumps, making the contestants push their cars to the limit. The competition is thrilling with lots of close calls, narrow escapes, and even some jaw-dropping maneuvers that add to the suspense and excitement of the tournament.

Overall, Hyperdrive is a fantastic show that balances the excitement of car racing with the technicalities and personality of the drivers. It's fast-paced, intense, and thrilling throughout each episode. The chemistry between the hosts and the drivers make the show enjoyable throughout, and with the different cars and driving styles, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Whether you're a car enthusiast or not, Hyperdrive is a show that you won't want to miss.
