Written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Mark Neale (William Gibson: No Maps for these Territories), FASTER captures every flip, slide, wheelie and wipeout in the white-knuckle world of MotoGP – the fastest sport on two wheels – where riders race at speeds over 200 mph. Featuring notorious racers and bitter rivals Valentino Rossi and Max Biaggi, both international superstars and world champions, FASTER also follows other well known riders including the rising teenage star John Hopkins, accident-prone Garry McCoy, and others.
