New TV show on DAVE is looking for folk

We’re looking for teams of skilled and confident drivers to take part in the most extreme driving challenges imaginable.....
What do we mean by extreme?
Try these for size:-

· Being chased by 2 police cars across an industrial landscape complete with tight turns, lethal obstacles and plenty of walls for the coppers to smash you into!

· Take part in your very own version of the Stephen Spielberg’s ‘Duel’ as you attempt to avoid 2 juggernauts hell bent on destroying your everyday family saloon!

· An automotive equivalent of the gladiatorial duels of ancient Rome. You’ll find yourself in a deep pit accompanied by a host of evil fork lifts, JCBs and bull-dozers hell bent on destroying your vehicle!

· Avoiding incoming tank fire!

· Approaching a 16ft ramp with sufficient speed to jump 6 buses!

Yes, Yes we know what you’re thinking – we’ll never get away with it, someone will get killed. Well there probably would be issues if there were drivers in the cars – but there won’t be.....
Our teams will be operating the cars from a safe distance thanks to a combination of state of the art radio control systems, the very latest robotic technology and real time video links. Drivers will be competing in these destructive challenges from the comfort of an arcade style simulator

But this is no game! Teams will be controlling a selection of full size, real cars in a variety of high octane challenges. Cars will be destroyed!

If you’re still reading, it probably means that you’re interested in appearing on the show, so here’s some basic info:-

Teams
We’re looking for teams of 3 drivers
Team members should not only be good drivers, they should also be pretty confident in their abilities – arrogance is positively encouraged!
Teams should have a definite identity e.g. people who work together or share an interest / hobby / passion
One team member should be nominated as team captain
How much time will teams need to devote to the show?
If you make our shortlist a member of the production team will probably come to meet you at a time to suit your work/home schedule
Teams chosen for the show will be required to attend an orientation day which we hope to hold on either a Saturday or Sunday. This will be your chance to get hands on experience of driving a full size road car via remote control

We’ll also want to film a team introduction film with teams chosen for the show. This usually takes a day

The show itself takes 2 days to film (on occasion it might be over a weekend, but we can’t guarantee this). We’ll provide you with two nights hotel accommodation (a third night will be available for teams with a long journey home), 3 meals a day and small cash payment to cover basic essentials such as beers in the bar at the end of the day
When will the shows be filmed?

We are planning to shoot the series in June/July 2011. Dates will be confirmed soon

How do I apply?
