Motor City Masters is a design competition show that aired on truTV in 2014. The show was hosted by Brooke Burns and judged by automotive journalist Jean Jennings and car designer Harald Belker. The premise of the show is simple - designers from all over the country are brought to Detroit, the motor city, to compete in challenges that test their skills in car design, building and driving. Each episode features a new challenge, which is designed to push the contestants to their limits and give them the opportunity to showcase their creativity, expertise and passion for cars.
The show is split into two parts - the design round and the build round. In the design round, contestants are given a brief and a limited amount of time to sketch out their ideas for a new car or modification. They present their sketches to the judges who then choose the top three designs to move on to the build round.
In the build round, the three contestants are given a budget and a team of skilled mechanics to help them bring their designs to life. They have just two days to build and test their cars before presenting them to the judges for evaluation.
Throughout the competition, the judges provide feedback and advice to the contestants, helping them to improve their designs and work with their teams to overcome any challenges they encounter along the way. The judges are also responsible for eliminating one contestant each week, until only one remains and is named the champion of the Motor City Masters.
The challenges on the show are diverse and require a wide range of skills, from designing a new car that embodies the spirit of Detroit to modifying a classic muscle car to compete in a drag race. Contestants are expected to have a deep knowledge of automobiles, as well as a creative flair and the ability to work under pressure.
While the show is ultimately a competition, it is also a celebration of the art of car design and the rich history of the automobile industry in Detroit. The contestants are given the opportunity to visit some of the city's most iconic landmarks, as well as to meet and work with some of the top professionals in the field.
Motor City Masters ran for one season on truTV and was well-received by audiences and critics alike. The show was praised for its innovative format, compelling challenges, and the engaging personalities of the contestants and judges. While it only aired for one season, it remains a popular choice for car enthusiasts and fans of design competition shows.
