The network has ordered the pilot for a Wipeout-like reality competition series that will follow contestants as they drive cars through an obstacle course designed for automobiles, The Hollywood Reporterreported Tuesday.
Currently called Thunder Road, each episode would feature two teams competing to complete a course featuring a variety of "challenging" and "perilous" obstacles, according to The Reporter.
Thunder Road is being created by Scott Messick and Justin Hochberg, with Messick and McG serving as the project's executive producers. McG's previous reality credentials include The CW's The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll and its second season, Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious.
Thunder Road is one of several reality projects CBS currently has in the works, along with the Magical Elves-producedArranged Marriage; the Secret Millionaire-like Undercover Boss; the Mike Fleiss-producedThere Goes the Neighborhood; and the Jeff Probst-created Live Like You're Dying.
