Discovery all geared-up for an exciting series of CAR VS WILD

There is nothing more dangerous than the prowess of the wild. This September, Discovery Channel brings a brand new exciting series, CAR VS. WILD, which takes on the spectacular but extremely harsh terrains of Mexico. The viewers are taken on an adventurous ride with Gary Humphrey, a former British Special Forces soldier; Bill Wu, an American car fanatic and their trusted thrill-hungry four-wheeler car, Ruby. Here, the survival junkies put to test the limits of both man and machine as they venture to unforgiving locations where no car has gone before.

In each episode, Bill and Gary go head-to-head with an extreme environment alongside resilient Ruby - a car that is not especially equipped for such savage landscapes. The trio must work their way across the volcanic belt and craters in Veracruz to the suffocating, dense bush of Orizaba till they reach their final destination. They cross paths with ferocious natural obstacles that test their human boundaries. They must overcome their fears and deal with snakes, bat infested caves and deep lagoons or descend a 70-metre deep canyon. There is no time limit in the wild, but moving slowly will only work against the fearless team. Ultimately, Bill and Gary must balance both speed and strategy in order to surpass the challenges put forth.

At centre stage is the complex dynamics between man, machine and Mother Nature. Brimming with inspiring risks and practical maneuvers, watch as Bill and Gary resort to using vines and trees as swings to push Ruby through the lush forests – Tarzan-style. Witness a possible record-breaking climb over the 14,000-ft high southeastern Pico De Orizaba Mountain – the tallest in Mexico – which has the reputation of swallowing explorers in its crags. Last, but not the least, hold your breath as the trio attempt to navigate across a host of sites where no car has dared to go, including a volcanic crater lake rumoured to have been a site of human sacrifice.
