Discovery is gearing up for the return of its immensely popular Megaspeed as Season 2 hits the asphalt starting Thursdays at 7pm beginning June 25th.
From Discovery Canada’s award-winning international production house, EPI (Exploration Production Inc.), the original Canadian documentary series features six one-hour episodes and is narrated by CP24 BREAKFAST co-host Steve Anthony. The series focuses on fast vehicles and the drivers who race them – from souped-up dragsters on the strip to customized “street legal” roadsters you have got to see to believe – the adrenaline-fueled series ramps up with exclusive access to some of the world’s most prestigious motor sport events in the world.
In the Season 2 premiere, “Indy 500” (Thursday, June 25th at 7pm), Megaspeed takes viewers around the circuit of the Indianapolis motor speedway, the most famous two and half miles on the planet. Featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes access to 27-year-old Oakville native James Hinchcliffe, who was involved in a serious accident during practice on May 18th, the episode follows Hinch as he prepares to qualify for his fourth Indy.
This season fans will be treated to conic motorsports events in Northern Ireland, Newfoundland, and Germany, to name just a few.
