HYPERDRIVE - Brittany Williams and Aaron Parker Interview

Hyperdrive on Netflix

BUCKLE UP!

“Hyperdrive” is a crazy new car competition series from Executive Producer and Oscar winning actress Charlize Theron that bills itself as “American Ninja Warrior-meets-Fast and Furious.”

Hyperdrive “looks like the best new car show in decades,” according to The Drive. The series is filmed in Rochester, New York, on a crazy obstacle course that competitors must navigate while driving modified cars. But it’s not just about the cars and obstacles, it’s about the people behind the wheel.
Fielding Shredder (yes - his real name) is a driving instructor at Rally School in Austin, TX.

Brittany Williams is from Lewisville, TX, and is currently one of the top female drifters in the Lone Star state. She’s even getting married at a drifting competition.
