They have a racing driver to time cars. They have a race track. They have celebs (at least TG managed to interview theirs ). This is why I'll give it another shot, as the different location thing and lack of cars may make it into something different.
Put it another way, would you expect a car costing seven times as much to be exactly the same as before, or better? I'd be pi**ed if my Micra had the same performance as a GT-R!
