Full Speed Docuseries exceeds expectations at 150mph and more!
As a former professional driver, and current motorsport insider, I can confidently say that Netflix’s latest offering, “NASCAR Full Speed,” is a must-watch for any racing fan craving a glimpse into the heart-pounding world of American stock car racing.
Unlike its Formula 1-inspired counterpart, “Drive to Survive,” “NASCAR Full Speed” delves deeper into the behind-the-scenes lifestyle and intense team preparation that defines NASCAR racing. From the adrenaline-fueled race tracks to the intimate moments in the pit lane, this docuseries offers a raw and unfiltered look at the lives of NASCAR drivers, and more.
One of the standout features of “NASCAR Full Speed” is the authenticity of its featured drivers. Favorites like Danny Hamlin, Bubba Wallace, Tyler Reddick, Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney are not afraid to wear their emotions on their sleeves, giving viewers a glimpse into the highs and lows of professional racing. Their unfiltered honesty and raw passion for the sport make for compelling viewing, showcasing the true essence of NASCAR.
Netflix has truly excelled in spotlighting NASCAR in “NASCAR Full Speed”
Moreover, “NASCAR Full Speed” serves as an excellent marketing platform for brands like Toyota Racing, with the brand prominently featured throughout the series. This strategic partnership not only adds to the authenticity of the show but also highlights the symbiotic relationship between NASCAR and its corporate sponsors.
The inclusion of basketball superstar Michael Jordan as a co-team owner of Team 23Xi adds an exciting dimension to the series, showcasing his genuine interest in motorsport beyond his iconic status on the basketball court.
Additionally, the portrayal of the drivers’ personal lives, including their relationships with wives and girlfriends, adds a layer of depth to the series, offering viewers insight into the unique challenges of dating a professional athlete.
In comparison to “Drive to Survive,” “NASCAR Full Speed” offers a more visceral and emotionally charged experience. While both series provide an insider’s look into the world of motorsport, “NASCAR Full Speed” stands out for its raw authenticity and unfiltered portrayal of life on and off the track.
Netflix has truly excelled in spotlighting the entire ecosystem of NASCAR in “NASCAR Full Speed,” ensuring that every team member, from the drivers to the pit crew and even the spotters, is given their due recognition and importance.
Netflix: Drive to Survive Season 6 – February 23rd 2024
Unlike “Drive to Survive,” where team principals often dominate the screen time, “NASCAR Full Speed” recognizes that success on the track is a collective effort, requiring the expertise and dedication of every individual involved.
By highlighting the contributions of everyone within the team, from the drivers making split-second decisions to the pit crew executing lightning-fast tire changes, Netflix has captured the essence of NASCAR as a team sport, fostering a deeper appreciation for the collaborative spirit that drives these teams to victory.
I for one eagerly await the next season of “Drive to Survive,” one can only hope that it will take a page from “NASCAR Full Speed” and deliver the same level of real-life drama and intensity that has made this series a standout hit among racing fans.
Until then, buckle up and I recommend enjoying the exhilarating ride that is “NASCAR Full Speed.”
