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.

It was my attempt at displaying how stupid Rut sounds when commentating. Anything with a handbrake can kick the back end out to hit a target. I honestly have to mute it to watch it.
Some of the obstacles make sense, the Rockford turn and linking the drifts to other targets but they should have also had a better technical section. Maybe hit a button with the front tires on a road course section or something instead of the water thing. Or like you said, a Rallycross section. I am only a few episodes in as I lack the mental incapacity to watch it too often, but it is like those Walmatian pictures. Eventually you have to take another peek.
