Global Television revs up with War of the Wheels
|
|
(TORONTO - Friday, January 7, 2005) Two teams, two cars, two days. Who can build the best beast? The new Canadian special War of the Wheels will air Saturday, February 12 on the Global Television Network.
Hosted by champion rally driver Andrew Comrie-Picard, the one-hour program challenges two teams of car enthusiasts to overhaul two identical secondhand cars in under 72 hours. With a fully equipped auto shop, each team must increase the resale value of each vehicle. At the end of the process, the cars will be sold online to the highest bidder, with the profits going to charity.
Along the way, there will be several competitions to win automotive parts and flashy accessories. When the cars are ready there will be a drag race to see which team has done the best mechanical job.
Produced by Breakthrough Films & Television, the special is executive produced by Jim Erickson, Ira Levy and Peter Williamson, and directed by Neil Thomas.
War of the Wheels airs Saturday, February 12 on the Global Television Network as follows:
Maritimes/Ontario/Quebec/Saskatchewan/Manitoba/Alberta - 7pm
British Columbia - Friday, February 11 - 8pm
