Season Info
Road Rules: Maximum Velocity Tour is the ninth season of the MTV reality television series Road Rules. It took place mostly in the southern areas of the United States and in South Africa. A casting special aired on June 6, 2000, and the season premiered two weeks later on June 19, 2000.
When compared to prior seasons, RR9 would be highly competitive. Fewer missions were completed for the sake of the experience. Rather, we’d see Roadies compete against other teams of competitors. They’d face: The Real World: New Orleans cast, a local fraternity, a group of MTV.com fan, and the band O-Town. Not every mission would be a face off, because the cast did travel to South Africa to immerse themselves into a South African tribe. This episode would get the show nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Non-Fiction Program (Special Class) in 2001.[1]
