Anyone watched this? The bike version of Drive to Survive.

I came upon it by accident and started watching it.

It would have been a reasonable way to spend a few hours but completely ruined by the English dubbing. It makes it almost unwatchable.

[Superhoop]

Not watched it but knew it was in the making..

Let's just hope it doesn't have the same influence on the championship as it seems to have had on F1..

[jdearauj]

I've heard if you watch the 4K UHD version then it does not have the English dubbing. But I have not been able to verify that as yet.

[TimmyWimmyWoo]

It was a technical error that forced the dub, apparently it's either fixed or will be fixed today.

[Zarco]

Was looking forward to this but I can't stand watching anything with dubbing. I'll give it a miss in the hope they do subtitles one day.

Are you referring to the Masi scandal in the F1 championship decider?

Think the changes in F1 are more due to Liberty who own F1, than the Netflix series. Netflix series was obviously something else Liberty brought in (has been really good for F1 in my opinion).

[benjipeg]

was going to post how bad the dubbing was, will put it on in 10mins if the sound has been fixed!! been waiting for this as i loved the f1 over on netflix

[poo at Paul's]

The seem to have cast Fabio as a 13 year old English Public Schoolboy. And Mir as a 50 year old Estate Agent

Bizarre

They've re-released it today with subtitles instead, and it's quite a bit easier to watch (or at least not as painful)
It's still nothing like as good as F1 Drive to survive though, and I'm no F1 fan

[KurtFlew]

I'm 3 episodes in, it's watchable though agree not as good as the F1 version and I haven't watched a F1 race for 10 years.

All the riders are just robots and the team's all get on with each other too well!

I tried to watch the first episode yesterday and turned it off after 20 minutes, that dubbing is truly awful, a total turn off. Hope they get it fixed and i might try again………but you only get one chance to make a first impression



Just started watching it again with out the dubbing ………so much better

Raglan Rizzlaface is a right nobcheese, ain’t he!?

[MDubyaB]

The audio issues are fixed, but I can’t believe how lazily made it is. I absolutely love MotoGP and this is just basic behind the scenes footage with no narrative, direction or reason to grow or gain interest in the sport.

Drive to Survive very nearly made me care about F1 again. That’s high praise.

I’m properly disappointed as I was so looking forward to this.

[ArnageWRC]

Compared to the F1 show, it looks second rate, which what I doubt Dorna really wanted. It looks all a bit 'thrown together', the narrative doesn't really work.

[Freakuk]

4 episodes in and I am really enjoying it if I am honest, the well publicised dubbing delay my start, now it's resolved I'm binge watching.

Being a die hard MotoGP fan for me it's really interesting seeing what goes on behind the scenes, the frustrations, the politics, the highs and lows. Yes it probably doesn't have a narrative as such, but it is compelling viewing to understand the behind the scenes at a race weekend.

[Higgs boson]

Thanks to the thread, I watched to the penultimate episode today (bum is completely numb!).

I really enjoyed it.

It showed that they weren't all automatons who trained, slept, and rode. (they ate, too. )

I liked the way they talked about each other, including the swearing, and the way that they didn't, or couldn't, hide their frustrations when things didn't go their way.

It also really showed the pressure that they were under, race to race.

It's a 10 out of 10 from me.
