I have a feeling a lot of that will be fixed in the new series. We should see lots of story over 10 episodes.
I would have preferred more time on the actual race and less jumping around but as has been covered already here, we would have lost the general public. The show just needs more time. Get the audience emotionally involved and they'll stay to watch their favorites race. Its the American Idol model. If they institute a "text in to vote" portion, I might have stood a chance at winning something. LOL
On a completely separate side note, did anyone catch that killer Maverick running the while Brett was talking about the autocross.
