On the male side, Korean YouTuber Jongrak Choi confidently stated, “Racing is not hard – speaking Vietnamese is harder”. Meanwhile, the oldest content creator in the group, Hieu Gia Lai, admitted that he had almost  quit after experiencing a “cinematic crash” during the show. Despite  lacking the advantages of youth and physical strength, he gradually discovered a passion for speed. He decided to  step out of his comfort zone  and fully embrace the thrilling experience that GAMA has to offer.

Dramatic and realistic collisions on the track are inevitable  in  GAMA where fierce eliminations take place in each episode to find the best racers.  In response to concerns about player safety, Action Director Hai Bui  revealed that he and Director Charlie Nguyen, along with the production team,  had  personally tested the vehicles and verified all safety measures with professional technicians. The Go-Kart, often referred to as the “mini F1”, is a low-center 4-wheel vehicle that significantly reduces the risk of overturning on sharp turns.

Nevertheless, Hai Bui emphasized that since this is a   reality show about racing, crashes are a natural part of the experience. Some contestants even joked that  the timing of the   crashes seemed too perfect  to be accidental. He reassured viewers that a professional team is always ready to assist, ensuring maximum safety in case of any incidents. Additionally, the racetrack is designed with speed-control  barriers.

Producer representative Thi Vo added that while the team has prepared all safety and legal measures for the track, contestants are constantly reminded to prioritize their safety. The decision to divide the competition into male and female groups was based on careful calculations. However, she revealed that, after undergoing training and competing, gender and age may no longer be seen as barriers to conquering the racetrack.
