I feel like they should have went with Nascar instead.
Nascar is only really popular in the Rebel states. Hot rods / drags are more politically neutral.
I hate to be a doom merchant (no, seriously), but this is going to end up like the US remake of Kath and Kim. Yanks just don’t get our humour (sorry, humor).
