What does it take to manage a race team? What does it take to race in a highly competitive racing series? How hard is it to balance a career in motorsports with your personal life?
“First to the Finish,” a new docuseries coming to Prime covers just that.
The six-part series follows two drivers, Heather Hadley and Sally Mott, plus …
Perfect timing. I just finished up a different series, and was looking for the next thing to watch.
In reply to Colin Wood :
Same here! I now know what my nightly routine will be.
In reply to Paris Van Gorder :
I'm also looking forward to the F1 Academy docuseries coming to Netflix (I think?).
I'll have to check again when that's coming out.
Lyn St. James provides a nice write up.
I recall announcer John Hindaugh saying Shea Adam was no longer in the pits with IMSA, and that she was in "Mazda's employ."
I'm canceling my Netflix soon. I'll still have Prime, though, so add this to the watch list!
Pretty stoked to watch this. Thanks for bringing light to it, Colin!
What makes Drive to survive interesting is the rivalry. The stories of competing drivers and teams and explaining the what is going on in their heads. Even when they do back of the pack stories its still about the competition within the team or with other drivers. After watching ep1, it feels like they were trying to do Drive to Survive in editing style, but chose to instead just follow HAAS or Sauber for some reason. D2S suffered a bit from access problems in s1 too, but did a better job. They should have done spots on drivers Sally is typically competing with as well so they can focus on those relationships. Maybe they'll get there in future episodes.
Watched the first three installments today. Not bad. Shea Holbrook provides some insight on team ownership, and the featured drivers share the ups and downs of being newer to the series and the learning curve, working with other drivers and maybe not.
Holbrook said the drivers pay to be in the teams. I wonder what a ballpark figure for that amount would be?
