From the creators of "Junkyard Wars" and "Banzai" comes Channel 4's massive new 13 part series. Over 30 teams will be competing in the Stadium of Doom, in a series of awesome challenges designed to test their custom-made vehicles. The amazing hand made monsters eight wheel drives, articulated mammoths and mini tanks come from all over the world. Each week a UK and US team will compete with one other nationality.
