Octane Academy (season two)
SABC3, Channel 193, 20:00 Maybe it’s just because I don’t pay too much attention to reality shows, but I’ve never seen one focused on this subject matter before. Four professional racing drivers, Ken Block, Brian Deegan, Tanner Foust and Vaughn Gittin jnr, train 24 hopeful pro-motorsport wannabes in Ford’s Octane Academy. It’s quite interesting to see how the newbie drivers learn to corner properly and master the handling characteristics of the various vehicles — if you’re into racing, I mean.
