Good Afternoon,

I am a researcher on a brand new driving show for the channel Dave and I am looking for Britain’s best drivers to take part. The network are extremely keen for me to find a team of three taxi drivers that might like to take part.

The show is all about driving abilities and is not a “reality TV show.” It will be a fun couple of days out in June/July at Bentwaters Park in Suffolk for whoever might like to take part. It will also be good promotion for any company or club as it will go out in a prime time slot on Sunday evening. We are using the latest in remote controlled technology and drivers will be controlling the cars from a simulator so there will be no threat to their safety, this means they will be able to perform stunts that otherwise would be life threatening!

If this is something you might like to get involved with, or if you know people that might like to get involved please let me know by replying to the address below or drivingshowinfo@blinkfilmsuk.com, and I will send you an information pack and application form.

Many Thanks,

Richard.

I should qualify after doing the job for 30 years, and I do my own stunts on Gattonside heights on a Saturday night when its busy, like take off on the up-slope of one hump and land on the downside of the next one :D

A prime opportunity to severely embarrass yourself people change in front of a tv camera and do and say all sorts of things they later regret

If anyone wants to make themselves a laughing stock go for it but I for one will not be applying
