With two replays on each episode before the next, the viewing audience will be massive. It is extremely exciting to finally get Australian Off Road Racing, and its teams, the recognition that is deserved, said Clayton Taylor.
Off Road Promotions spend so much time looking at these professional race teams present their immaculate race vehicles and crews, and to think that this may all go unnoticed was never an option. We are extremely proud to have the opportunity to present Off Road Racing to the country and the world. Off Road Promotions would also like to thank the teams involved in the AORC for giving us the product we have to work with he continued.

Just wanted to write and congratulate all at ORP and Conflict Films for the production last friday night on oneHD. It was fantastic to finally see our sport on the tv screen at prime time. It is amazing how many people I have been talking to since then and they said yeh yeh we saw that on TV the other night, that looks awesome, and already a number of those people are coming to our race next weekend for a look.
I dont know what other peoples thoughts on the show were, but I have heard nothing but great things and can't wait for the next 7 installments.
