Pretty sure Rutledge has heard of Tanner Foust. They were on Top Gear USA together for 6 seasons, even if nobody watched it.
I watched the whole thing, well the last 3 or 4 episodes I had on in the background while doing other stuff.
Spoilers ahead.
First, that leveler was stupid. It could make or break your run, and it's not a skill I'd consider relevant to being a good driver/drifter. Failing that challenge cost you a lot more than the other challenges.
Second, water has no place in that show. After they almost blinded the German lady, I hope the producers figured it out. Nobody wants to see a car chug around with an intake full of water. If you want the cars to slide around more add some dirt.
I don't think they made the concept of the show known to all the contestants before the show. Or they brought in people to fill the field. The guy from Chicago in the Mercedes that took out targets with his door, he had no business being there. Mike Pettiford, he's a great SCCA racer and instructor, but he was out of his element there.
Dumb show/series.
