Red Bull Soapbox Race on Dave

The QI/Would I Lie to you?/Man Vs. Food trailer failed to play at about 17:45. You can probably catch it again on Déjà Vu at about 18:45.

I have been watching the Red Bull Soapbox Race on Dave this afternoon. It isn't live but it is coverage of the event that happened earlier today. The coverage isn't perfect, they don't seem to have enough cameras on the course to do it justice, although there seem to be other cameras there that the production doesn't have access to, so I expect the event will be documented for future generations in one way or another. Saying all that, the programme itself has been quite entertaining. The event reminds me of the car jumping stunt during The Late Late Breakfast Show. Although there didn't seem to be any serious injuries, it came pretty close a few times. They actually added a chicane to the track after a few runs, to slow the cars down.

The Red Bull shows are usually quite a good watch. Suspect this may be one of the last events on Dave as they're moving to BT Sport.

I was watching this as well. These Red Bull events are always great.

My assumption is, content will be made available to BT Sport. But I'd be surprised if some of the more interesting stuff didn't air away from BT Sport. At the end of the day, surely the purpose of these events is publicise Red Bull. You'll probably going to get more people watching on Dave then a subscription channel.

Basically they've got a deal with Red Bull for the Red Bull to provide some filler content, I'd imagine.
