hmm a bit disapointing really.

The previous races have been brilliant, with an entire episode dedicated to the building of the machines and the passing of MOT/Special Vehicle thingy.

This time they just gave them a vehicle each, albeit very different kinds of vehicles.

Also, the editing of the actual race was rubbish, they gave the impression that the maximus team had spent ages getting their cat down and tree cut and that they were at risk of losing their lead.  But the final time puts the closest team 42 minutes behind, barely 13 minutes were lost, not the dramatic ending they suggested

I gave up watching Scrapheap before the last series even aired.  The competitions are getting very 'samey' and the builds not so interesting.  This used to be a great series, but now I find it tedious.  Sorry to have had a short rant, had that on my chest for a while!

Didn't see any of it, but caught about 30minutes of the rallying.

Not too keen on Gronholm, but congratulations to him, a new car & new team & a win.

Fabia looks good in the new livery
