I've heard on the grapevine that Formula 1 and Bernie Ecclestone have created a reality Formula 1 show and competition where anyone in the world can apply to win a Formula 1 drive. Apparently it's a judged elimination process that will be televised, some of it live!! Anyone know if this is true? Be very interesting to see how it would work!

I hate the X Factor, I hate most reality TV shows, but this is one I would watch!!!

Would be a miracle if it came to pass though.

Most of it is cheap TV for braindead morons who have a wreckless disregard for their phone bills (either that or shares in BT). Reality TV is truley painful to watch.

If it is even being considered there would have been at least a few rumours going about in the press and I'm sure MrE would have been quized on it by now and he would be daft to shun some free publicity via some juicy questions from the media.

I'm believing nothing until it gets widely publicised on the mainstream media OR some official source mentions it...

there was one years ago, Johnny Herbert was involved in choosing the driver. it turned out that it was to race in a Historic F1 race... from memory, Jenson helped Herbert in the 1st round.

In one of the episodes the drivers are tasked with coming up with a signature race winning gesture, like double fist pumping or the finger.
