But the show has still added some new aspects to the real-life footage, like inspiring and nail-biting background scores. Using never before shown unique camera angles, racer, and team audio wire comments, the docuseries gives us access to the details of the racers and their team coming up with decisive decisions while on track.

It is truly amazing to watch as they balance their high-pressure career with their daily life. And despite how they may act competitively on track, the series shows us that the rival racers truly maintain a good relationship with each other.
