Not for me
So, I knew this was an omegaverse which already made me doubt if I'd like it, BUT that's not what threw me off. I thought I'd like it since I love car and motorbike racings but jesus Christ. It was just so fucking boring to watch. On one hand I wanted to find out what the fuck Charlie really wanted and what was happening, but I don't know, I just lost motivation since it was kinda slow paced. I just got bored of it.Was this review helpful to you?
It gives me LITA vibes but the plot has nothing in common. First of all, the story is unconventional, really interesting and kind of mysterious.
I can definitely say that this isn't a series for people who like "slow burn" but as I see it, the fact that it has a fast plot matches its thyme.
Moreover, many people believe that there should have been more information about each character's life but, in my opinion this would have destroyed the suspense of the episodes. Making scenarios and trying to understand the characters' feelings and motivations it's much more interesting than knowing every single detail about their lives. (And that's what it makes it different from the other bl series.)

I am known to be overly dramatic, but hear me out.......
For weeks I have been on the hunt for a good BL to watch. I feel like at this point I have watched almost everything (over exaggeration), but for weeks, I have seen this series everywhere and I continued to avoid it after reading the summary over and over again because of ONE thing.......racing lol. I avoided watching this because of the concept of racing cars. Yesterday, I gave in and I just did it, and I will tell you, I was GAGGED after the first episode, absolutely and completely gagged. I am going to try and review this in a really well thought out and organized way, but bear with me, because I do not do this often.Story
The story is not what I expected it to be, I generally thought I was going to be bored with the whole concept, but boy, was I wrong. I have never been one for racing, but I have been on the edge of my seat with that whole again, concept. Racing is not really the whole part of the story though, and watching it has made me realize that there is so much more and it feels so complex to me, in a good way. I think that maybe there is a little bit of confusion sometimes when it came to the main story, but when is there not confusion in a BL (with the exception of the eighth sense, my all-time favorite). I think the story was really well thought out and portrayed in such a way that makes you want to keep watching. That's all I really have to say about the story, just STOP DOUBTING YOURSELF AND WATCH IT!!!!!!! (if you feel the same way I did.
Acting/Characters
The acting is flat out amazing, now I do not know Babe's real name yet and I will learn it soon, but he is outstanding. Everything about his performance has been amazing. Same goes for Charlie. The two of them combined = heart explosion. Their chemistry is and will forever be one of my favorites, they just feel so real and perfect. The side couple, which I haven't gotten into far yet is also going pretty well, I won't name names because it's a slow development so far and I don't wanna spoil it. This show has just done a really great job overall.
I know this is probably a very short and direct review, but this show has taken the words right out of my mouth. I have smiled, laughed, and cried already so much and I still have more to watchhhhh. I am just so invested right now that I had to come here a write a review on this. This show is sooooo different from any Thai BL that I have really seen, with exceptions of course, but I really just highly recommend this show, especially if you are a romance fiend like I am as well as someone who likes a little bit if steam~~.

Put away the scissors ✂️ ?️
In the beginning of this year I saw an edit about Pavel and Pooh and their audition. It may be because of the editing but I loved the chemistry between these two and was really exited for this drama.Then it aired. The first episode was amazing, breathtaking acting, cinematography: chef kiss.
While the story had some information holes for newcomer in the abo-verse, my only other complain is the cutting in the cut version.
I understand that there are cut and uncut version, but while paying for VIP IQIYI the series is not available in my region (Germany) so for legally watching I am depending on the cut version on YouTube. It‘s missing important little details, that make the story seem completely torn into small pieces, not really related to each other and it’s disturbes the smooth watching experience.
Nonetheless I love watching this series. It‘s little icks are made up by the actors performance and while I got some information from TikTok about the plot I am exited how this series will evolve.

So far, Pit Babe is worth the wait
Just watched the first episode and I must say, i am impressed. The episode introduces this series perfectly without so much spoilers and a hint of suspense to keep you glued. The characters are introduced with as much information as necessary to give you a hint but not so much that you might predict what might happen next. The hint of omegaverse makes this an exciting add to my watchlist as I am a huge fan. Who is the mafia looking businessman at the end of the episode? What does he have against Pit Babe? Is Charlie on Pit Babe's side or is he one of the bad guys? Who did he talk to on the phone at the end of the episode asking for an update on Pit Babe? Sooo many questions needs answers and I can't wait to watch this and hopefully I will get my answers. Highly recommendWas this review helpful to you?

First impression(watched the first episode)
Pooh has done a really good job even though its his first series. I felt Pavel and Nut's acting has also improved since 2moon2 and Oxygen respectively. It took me some time to realize it was Pavel. What a transformation of his looks. I just loved it. Talking about the series, there were too many characters so it might take me some time to understand whats going on. But, for sure ill continue watching it since my first impression was pretty good. I'll come back to this review to add in any details that i notice. Else I'll come back at the end to share my overall review and opinion on the series.Note: this is just my impression of the series and characters. Doesn't impose anything on anyone. What I like, you might not like and viceversa

Uma montanha-russa de emoções, testosterona e decisões questionáveis
Pit Babe é aquele tipo de BL que você começa achando que vai assistir por causa das corridas, do romance leve e de uns pilotos gostosos. Só que, do nada, você percebe que caiu numa novela mexicana com drift, onde todo mundo tem um segredo, ninguém sabe conversar, e o coração do espectador vai sendo atropelado a cada plot twist.A premissa até engana bem: Charlie, nosso menino esforçado e sonhador, quer correr mas não tem carro. Todo um drama raiz que o brasileiro entende. Aí ele vai bater na porta do Babe, que é tipo o deus do circuito de corridas e também o dono da pose mais insuportável do mundo. E pra conseguir a ajuda dele? Tem que virar meio que um assistente... um pupilo... um submisso? Enfim. Uma relação que começa com aquela vibe “por interesse” mas logo vira um caos emocional com faíscas e muita tensão mal resolvida.
E sim, aqui entra o momento “me aproximei por interesse, mas me apaixonei de verdade”, porque todo BL que se preze tem essa virada. Só que Pit Babe pega essa fórmula e mergulha de cabeça num mar de drama, ciúme, segredos de família, traumas não tratados e uma boa dose de “ninguém aqui sabe se comunicar sem gritar ou sair andando”.
O casal principal, Charlie e Babe, tem química? Tem. Tem até demais. Mas também tem uma bagagem emocional que faria qualquer terapeuta pedir demissão. Eles se amam, se odeiam, se encaram com aquele olhar que só BL tailandês consegue entregar, uma mistura de raiva, desejo e “se você mentir de novo eu te atropelo com o seu próprio carro de corrida”.
As corridas existem, tá? Mas sinceramente, ninguém liga. Porque o foco vira mesmo o DRAMALHÃO: aquele nível de drama que flerta com o absurdo, mas você já tá tão envolvida que aceita. Só que vamos conversar rapidinho sobre esse universo omegaverse que aparece sem explicação nenhuma? Me irrita. Me tira da imersão. É aquele detalhe que fica ali, flutuando, e você sente que ou esqueceram de explorar ou cortaram tudo na edição. E mesmo assim... eu amo. Fazer o quê?
Pontos altos? Temos:
- Personagens secundários que roubam a cena (Way e Jeff, meus amores);
- Pavel entregando tudo nos momentos de surto emocional (ele entrega, sim);
- Trilha sonora que gruda na cabeça;
- Figurino? Todo mundo parece que saiu direto de um editorial da GQ versão corrida de rua.
Agora, os baixos (porque tem):
- Furos de roteiro que fazem você dar pausa e falar “pera, o quê?”;
- Drama tão exagerado que às vezes parece sátira;
- Decisões dos personagens que testam a sua paciência e o controle remoto.
No fim, Pit Babe não é uma série perfeita, longe disso. Mas ela é viciante. É tipo fast food emocional: meio caótica, nada saudável, mas você come tudo rapidinho e no fim tá pedindo mais. Tem defeitos? Muitos. Mas tem alma, tem entrega, tem emoção. E tem o Babe sem camisa, o que automaticamente dobra a nota.
Se você gosta de BL com emoção à flor da pele, corridas só de enfeite, e um romance que parece um acidente em câmera lenta, vai fundo. Pit Babe vai te pegar.

Ni viendola en x2 te puedes conseguir quitar el cringe y tampoco saltarte las partes malas
No se como comenzar a escribir esta reseña.El inicio ya de por si es cuanto menos interesante (no es que la palabra interesante sea la adecuada pero digamos que todos los interesantes de esta reseña son sinonimos de cringe unido a perturbador y vergüenza ajena), que el pavo para poder concentrarse en las carreras tiene que tener sexo y que todos los corredores tienen que esperar a que este tenga sexo es cuanto menos interesante....
Como se conocen los protagonistas es forzado, que el otro su forma para acercarse a el sea vender su cuerpo y decir que quiere correr con su coche pues mira como que no te compro la forma con la que se juntan . El babe tiene mas inseguridades que la leche, el charlie es un lobo con piel de cordero que miente mas que nada. Y bueno para que seguir con la historia si no tiene sentido y hay muchos agujeros y cosas que se solucionan claramente a favor de ellos , que si te espio, no me estoy escondiendo pero no me ves, y asi muchas cosas.
No hay ningun actor bueno todos son pesimos actuando que no te tragas a ninguno y es que las peleas se ven tan orquestadas y falsas que sinceramente te tienes que reir de la situación.
La dinamica de los protagonistas es decir dos palabras y luego follar y es que me da ya una pereza tremenda, por no mencionar lo de Babe's boy y el mama y papa que no me podia dar mas cringe.
Mi duda es estos actores o son gays o tienen que estar muy bien pagados porque a mi si me dan este plot , yo no diría oye voy a hacer este personaje que se pasa mas tiempo follando que nada. (Que por cierto, no quiero entrar mas al mundo del omegaverse que mal rollo. ) ¿Estos señores cuando promocionan la serie se tienen que ir dando besos y mas o que hacen? Me da mucha vergüenza ajena.
Eso si , in this house we support Way, el chaval no sabe actuar, toma malas decisiones pero aqui una cara bonita lo hace todo.

Mucha química, pero no mucho sentido
Ahora que he terminado la serie y empiezo a leer comentarios, me sorprende leer que una de las cosas que la gente echa en falta sea química entre la pareja principal, cuando si algo creo que hay entre Pavel y Poo es una química interesante.En cuanto al argumento de la historia, creo que había un material muy interesante del que partir que se vio eclipsado por la ejecución. Esto permitió tener una primera mitad de gran calidad que va perdiendo sentido en la segunda parte. Muchas veces cuesta comprender las motivaciones de los personajes y me veía preguntándome cómo era tan sencillo entrar en la casa de la Fundación o en la de Alan, como si escondieran la llave debajo de la primera maceta y todo el mundo lo supiera.
He de decir que a mí la retórica papá/mamá no me incomoda nada y que me flipa que el chulito de la relación sea tremendo power bottom, porque arriba los power bottoms, literal y figurativamente.
Me quedo con ganas de esa segunda temporada. A ver qué tal el desarrollo de esa.

Rouler des mécaniques… Mmh, presque !
Les débuts ont étés difficiles pour moi. Rien ne me poussait à continuer, sauf la petite intuition. Certes, Pavel et Garfield sont deux bonnes motivations. Cependant, aussi cool que soit Pavel et aussi charmant que soit Garfield, leurs beaux yeux ne pouvaient pas me faire tenir 13 épisodes à eux deux.Pour moi, Pit Babe est scindée en deux parties. La première se concentre sur la course automobile et les personnages. Néanmoins, cette partie est trop lisse (et je le dis en ayant grandi avec un grand-père et un père qui travaillent dans un garage sur des voitures de tous styles et toutes générations). C'est vrai, les écuries professionnelles sont d'une qualité irréprochable (il suffit de regarder une course GP ou F1 pour s'en rendre compte), mais ici, j'en attendais un peu plus, notamment lorsqu'ils ont, littéralement, la tête dans le moteur. Ça manque de cambouis ! De même pour les courses auxquelles on sent les limites du budget. Il n'y a pas de spectateurs, pas de foules ou d'acclamations. C'est vide. Pour cette raison, j'ai tendance à penser que cette partie avait pour but de placer les personnages tout en les rendant cool et en créant les connexions voulues pour la suite.
La seconde partie nous sort la tête du garage, et c'est sur celle-ci que j'ai trouvé un intérêt à l'histoire. Si les personnages sont là depuis le début, avec quelques brides d'informations ici et là, ils n'ont pas apporté grand-chose jusqu'à maintenant. Certains peuvent même passer pour des figurants, tandis que d'autres vont et viennent. Cela dit, cette seconde partie va enfin leur apporter la matière suffisante pour faire tourner le moteur avec son lot d'action et un bon bagage émotionnel. Certes, c'est parfois tiré par les cheveux avec des plans foireux dans lesquels les gentils sont stupides, mais ça reste rythmé et entraînant. Cette seconde partie est un très bon mélange d'action, de romance et d'émotion (sentimentale, amicale et fraternelle).
Le casting est bon. Le jeu de Pavel (Babe) s'est clairement amélioré depuis 2 Moons et son charme n'a fait que s'accentuer de la meilleure des façons. Pooh (Charlie) m'a souvent donné l'impression de surjouer (en plus d'avoir l'air psycho avec son regard et son sourire), je ne suis pas fan de l'acteur ici et le personnage de Charlie n'est pas sensationnel pour moi. Le jeu de Nut (Way) s'est considérablement développé et affiné depuis Oxygen. Sailub (Alan) et Pon (Jeff) sont également sympathiques, tandis que j'ai adoré détester Pop (Winner) et S (Tony).
En revanche, je regrette de voir Ping (Pete) et Garfield (Kenta) être délaissés de la sorte… Et la frustration qui me ronge vis-à-vis d'eux est folle… Je veux dire, rien de plus ? Pas un regard. Pas un échange. Pas même un petit signe. Rien de rien… Humpf !
En bref, Pit Babe est dans un univers que je n'apprécie pas, cependant il sait comment trouver son public (et les scènes de lit ne sont probablement pas innocentes là-dedans). Néanmoins, il trouve tout son intérêt dans sa seconde partie, jonglant entre romance, action et émotion.
