Thought this would be more about how challenging it is to drive a race car as amateurs.
Instead there was about 45+ minutes footage of some extremely wealthy men getting to plug their businesses and how driven and determined they are, and how everything is about winning and making money etc etc. Pretty loathsome stuff.
It's really dull listening to people you can't relate to, bragging about how amazing they are.
I hoped it would reveal how they have to train physically and practice in sims etc. This documentary didn't suggest it was very hard at all, except you need to have money and turn up to the races on time.
Not a good image for motorsport unfortunately.
The phrase "gentleman drivers" is very outdated as well. If a young girl was watching this documentary it's hardly promoting a sport that is accessible to them.
I know it's not these guys' fault that they're called gentleman drivers, but still, it's the 21st century and I think this sort of documentary will just alienate more people from motor racing than it will do to promote it.
