"Is anyone else watching this show? Really cool series and well worth your time. These guys are beating the piss out of old classics like A/C Cobra's,Ferrari's, Morgan's, etc. Some great stuff and all in HIGH DEF."
"Has anyone checked this show out? Seriously, it is an AWESOME SHOW!"
"That Carrera Panamericana was hard to watch when that Mustang hit that speed bump that was off the map. That sucked. Those guys have balls to do that race in those cars though."
"That thing hit so hard it rattled my teeth just watching it. DAMN!!!! What a great show."
"It is one of those shows to DVR because although I love watching it, I feel like I am actually in the car and my adrenaline starts to pump. Pretty fricking cool IMO.

"There was another thread about this way back, but this is a MUST DVR series. Its great gentleman's HSR-style racing in some gorgeous cars, covering spectacular tracks including the Nordschleif, Le Mans, Magny Cours etc. Here's the local schedule...

"[...]Discovery HD Theater has already added a number of motor and sport content. Just yesterday I enjoyed the Magny Cours episode of GT Racer, an HD miniseries following vintage racing around the globe. [...] drop Discovery Communications a thank you email or two so they will keep it up!"

"Hope everyone is enjoying this series, DirecTV sat channel 76, the HD Theater channel."
"I've watched the series for the last three weeks and it's enjoyable."
"The show has been entertaining, educational and really thrilling for me."
"The latest show (Mexican Vintage Pan-American Race) was by far the best of the series so far. Great dialog...."
"I've been enjoying it as well. How about those huge speed bumps right in the middle of their tour. I love to see that AC Cobra smoke past the other cars...."
"I really like the show so far. I think they will get better as they get more episodes under their belt. It is amazing to me how crappy Speed channel has become, soooo disappointing. I'm glad Discovery HD has filled the gap.

"If you guys want to see THE best car show (IMO) ever. See HD Theaters "GT Racer". Fridays at 8PM starting Sept 4. By luck just caught it. Everything I love about cars since I was 1967 is on this show. If you like Frankenheimer's "Grand Prix", or Ford GT40s, 60's Ferraris, Porches, SC Cobras, Mustangs, Jaguars and the like... watch this show."
"Agreed. Great great show.

"I'd rank it ahead of 90% of the other car shows on TV right now."
"I like it, and it's better than faux drama on some other car shows! very cool. I love the engine sounds."
"It was pretty cool. I had to laugh at the guys pulling over to let the navigator puke. That would be me if I wasn't driving, I'd be sick as hell! Cool Show!"

"It's Old Media but you may want to check out the new show on HD Theater called GT Racer. It is European vintage racing at tracks like Lemans, Nurburgring, Spa, Mangny Cours and others. Some very cool old cars!"

"Looks like a good show, maybe only 4 episodes. Classic cars on the best racetracks. Premiers this Friday on Discovery's HD Theater."
"Have a reminder on my phone to tune in. When i saw the commercial last week it was too early to set the DVR. Looks like it will be fantastic! Mbrouder you'll find Discover is a better Speed Channel than Speed Channel itself."
"I'd love to see these, but don't have that channel. If anyone is willing to burn them onto a DVD for me, I'd be happy to pay you for your trouble plus shipping."
"Well it was certainly worth watching. "Sure- nice to follow the trials and tribulations of the teams"
Interview with Alexander Davidis:
the Artistic Genius Behind "GT Racer"
Where are you from?
Germany
Where do you live?
New York City
What was your first job?
What did it teach you about business?
I cannot recall my first job. My first job in “films” was as a production assistant in Berlin. I was studying communications at the University of Arts. It taught me that I had a natural understanding of the filmmaking process. It was clear right away that filmmaking was “my thing”
My first job as director was to direct a 30 second MTV promo that was a spoof on the shower scene from the movie “Psycho”. When the camera looked down at the bloody water disappearing in the drain, the audience saw a sponge with blood shaped like an MTV logo. It was quite popular and the promo, seen by a billion people, ran on all continents......
