The Isle of Man Tourist Trophy is the greatest motorcycle road race in the world, the ultimate challenge for rider and machine. It has always called for a commitment far beyond any other racing event, and many have made the ultimate sacrifice in their quest for victory.
A story about freedom of choice, the strength of human spirit and the will to win. It’s also an examination of what motivates those rare few, this elite band of brothers who risk everything to win. The vision of top commercials director Richard de Aragues, this promises to be one of the most thrilling films of 2011.
Shot around the world in 2010 and 2011, Fastest distills the thrilling, terrifying reality of the MotoGP world championship into a maximum-speed, full-length documentary feature film.
Fastest captures a pivotal moment in the sport when, chasing his tenth world title, the legendary Valentino Rossi runs into the toughest challenge of his life: a wave of ferociously fast young riders, a horrific, leg-shattering crash at the Italian grand prix, an agonizing comeback forty-one days later in Germany, and the question every rider–even the greatest of all time–must face.
Who’s the fastest? Narrated by Ewan McGregor.
