Faster. 12/16/2004
I went in to the Post Office today to collect a parcel that had been sent to me from the States. I was wondering what it was, and when I opened it, I found this.
‘Faster’ is a documentary of life in the very, very fast lane. It chronicles the the lives, riders and machines of the MotoGP, the premier motorcycle championship in the world. Bikes regularly do over 200 m.p.h at certain tracks, prompting the movie’s tagline “Two wheels, 200 MPH, Every man for himself.”
Although motor racing is a team based sport, at the fine edge of it, it all comes down to one man, and one machine. There is of course a tremendous amount of support behind the scenes, beginning at the factories and racing divisions where these bikes are designed and made, to the hundreds of hours of engineering analysis and testing, to the mechanics and support crew working through the night to prepare bikes for the next morning’s race. But at the end, the fastest, strongest, fittest, most talented rider wins.
More information from here and here.
Many thanks to Bill and Jade for the early Christmas present.
