Oh good god. Somebody edited this into Wikipedia's Drive entry at one point;
The premise for this show reminds many of previous plots, mainly Paramounts [[Rat Race (film)]]. Many bloggers have brought this up (citation needed), stating that this series is another act of "questionable ethics" on the part of the Fox media company.

Wasn't Seth Green in Rat Race? If Tim and friends cast him in Drive, imagine the outrage on Wikipedia!
