A feature film that documents the Moto GP is terrifying reality hits London on September for an advanced and exclusive screening. This is the sequel to ‘Faster’, the petrol head movie that was an international sensation and was shot in various locations across the globe during 2010 and 2011. ‘Fastest’ instills in the viewer the terrifying yet thrilling reality of the world of Moto GP world championships, and turns it into a full length feature.
Narrated by self-confessed bike maniac Ewen McGregor, and with Mark Neale in the director’s chair, ‘Fastest’ brilliantly captures in film a pivotal moment in the history of the sport. The legend that is Valentino Rossi is chasing his 10th world title, and is facing his toughest challenge ever.
There are a wave of new and ferocious young drivers, a horrific crash in the Italian grand prix where he shatters his leg, and the agonizing comeback he makes in Germany only 41 days later. As if that wasn’t enough, there is also that question that every rider, even the greatest ever, must answer; now who is the fastest?
