There's a scene at ~ 21:40 of four bikes going up a incline to a blind crest at what looks like supersonic speeds and making great noises. Apart from the isle of man (and the other road races, northwest 200 etc) this track must be the craziest. So glad it's back on the GP circuit. Now in the UK we just need to get MotoGP to race at Donington again (or Cadwell Park!) instead of boring Silverstone. Nice to see Brad Pitt and the other celebs taking an interest and maybe opening this sport up to a wider audience. I'm so glad this movie was made. The end.

This is the follow-up to director Mark Neale's Faster films from a few years earlier. Technically way better and it appears to have been re-released in 2020. Not sure if they remastered it or not, but the video quality was noticeably better than the films from a few years earlier. Also they modified a bit at the end to update the story which was nice.

What also made this film special for me is that it was centered around the return for Moto GP to Laguna Seca, my favorite race track to sim on. I've been out in that area twice in my life and unfortunately never coincided with any track days open to the public. I'd love to drive around there for real some day, certainly a bucket list item. Or at least catch a race there. It's also a bit frustrating because none of the major series I usually follow visit the track. So it's rare to catch any racing there on the TV.

Especially if you are a US motorsports fan, this one with the great title should go on the watchlist. It often follows a few US riders that were in the series at the time, on one of the top tracks in the country. Would be hard pressed to not enjoy it.
