A new [[RealityTV Reality]] GameShow from the producers of ''Series/CanadasWorstDriver'', which (when you factor in the drivers themselves) could easily be considered its logical AntiThesis, since its a competition where ''good'' driving will be greatly rewarded, with $10,000 worth of restoration for their respective used car (and the ability to compete in a $50,000 tournament of champions). Its basically a MinigameGame; whoever does the worst in a particular challenge gets eliminated by having their car (well, we just ''hope'' its a stand-in like ''{{Series/Downfall|2010}}'' did) picked up and skewered on a giant "spike of shame". Of course, the challenges get more abusive and ridiculous as the game goes on, starting with the "Hot Lap" (a time trial doing laps around a small oval), and ending with the final "Beater Buster" course.

* TheAllegedCar: Subverted; they're not quite at ''that'' level, but the point of the competition is to win money to make their vehicle into more of a CoolCar.
** If your car did not come in as an Alleged Car, it'll surely come out after the Beater Buster. If your engine dies in the middle of it, you can manually push it too!
