Drive is an American television series created by Tim Minear and Ben Queen and is executive produced by Minear, Queen, and Greg Yaitanes.

The series is set across the backdrop of an illegal automobile road race with the central focus being on the competitors and eventually on the puppet masters behind the race. Regarding the tone of the show, Minear has described it thusly: "A secret, illegal, underground road race can be anything from Cannonball Run to The Game to North by Northwest to Magnolia-on-wheels. Ours is all those things."[1]

On October 30, 2006 it was revealed in Variety that Fox had greenlit series production on Drive, ordering twelve episodes on top of the pilot that was filmed over the summer. The series is planned to premiere in the spring as a midseason replacement.[2]

On December 15, 2006, The Hollywood Reporter announced that Firefly and Serenity star and longtime friend of Drive creator Tim Minear, Nathan Fillion, will play the lead role of Alex Tully in the series. Ivan Sergei played the role in the pilot. [3]

The show's premiere is scheduled for April 15, 2007 on Fox, but it premiered on April 13, 2007 on CTV in Canada. [4]

this seems to be sort of a ripoff of the movie series 7: the contenders that i saw on HBO on demand one night

same exact plot albeit the HBO one was terrible and the only reason i got through it was being really high
