Test My Ride is a series originating from Finland where it saw six successful seasons. This success spread even further after it was well received in Germany for two seasons and now local producers have decided that it is time for the show to make its way to South Africa.
To South Africa it is a fairly new concept. It takes the private vehicles that have been tuned or modified for track use and gets Formula 1 veteran Mika Salo to take it through the paces on a collection of our local tracks.
The fundamentals of the show requires the owner of the vehicle to hand over their prized ride to a panel that will judge the appearance and the dynamic capabilities. In addition to this the show will require the owners to take their vehicles to the track to see if they can beat the lap set by Salo.
Test My Ride starts on Ignition TV, DStv channel 189 on the weekend of 9th and 10th of April and will broadcast at the following times:
- Sat: 7pm
- Sun: 7am
- Tues: 9am & 9pm
- Wed: 6am & 6pm
