Literally and figuratively, a lot of ground gets covered: From Kenny Roberts and the late Barry Sheene discussing their innovative knee-dragging styles and the origins of rear-wheel steering to the colorful rivalry of Max Biaggi and reigning champion Valentino Rossi (including Biaggi's infamous "Elbow Incident" at Suzuka in 2001), Faster never loses sight of the human element that makes this ultra-dangerous sport so fascinating. Track physician "Dr. Costa" is profiled (and offers some eloquently philosophical thoughts about MotoGP riders), along with innovative rider Garry McCoy (plagued by injuries); former champion Wayne Rainey (now paraplegic and active in kart-racing); young prodigy John Hopkins in his rookie season; and several other prominent figures in the world of MotoGP.
The bonus disc includes Faster & Faster, a sequel covering the 2003 and 2004 seasons, which saw the rise of the 500cc 4-stroke engine (and speeds in excess of 215 mph), Ducati's dominance and trend-setting removal of engine silencers (to boost power); Rossi's move to Yamaha; the fatal crash of Daijiro Kato; the victories of Sete Gibernau; and the rookie debuts of Neil Hodgson, Ruben Xaus, and Shane Byrne. Through it all, Faster and its sequel serve as the ultimate guide to MotoGP, certain to inspire future champions and armchair fans alike. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of Faster
excelent If you Love Motorcycles, this is a great Video. <
>Very informative for anyone who wants to learn more about MOTO GP, and lots of good footage for everyone.
Excellent!!
I loved this. I had seen it previously, and purchased this as a Father's Day gift for my boyfriend. He is a MotoGP fan. Any MotoGP fan will like this, the background story is great and Ewan McGregor does a great job narrating. Highly recommend.
The best guide to the world of MotoGP
If you're unfamiliar with MotoGP and are wondering whether this is something you might be interested in, this video will either make you a fan or have you move on. If you ever watch an F1 race and wonder what it would be like if there was no pitting and a lot more passing, you've been denying yourself the pleasure of MotoGP for too long. If you ever wonder why "sport" is in the word "motorsport", this will convince you.

>This video doesn't hang together well enough to be called a film. It's almost like the ultimate coffee table book: full of intense images and concise information in short articles. An attempt is made to follow the careers of two riders (McCoy and Hopkins) but the threads are too episodic to sustain much drama or narrative. Instead the value comes from interviews and highlights on topics like the origin of rear-wheel steering, great rivalries (Rainey-Schwantz, Rossi-Biaggi), great comebacks (Doohan), the advent of 4-strokes, testing and setup, etc.

>If you've already seen the movie at theaters but aren't sure if you want to buy the 2-disc DVD, don't hesitate. The additional material and improved sound quality are definitely worth it.

>If you've been watching MotoGP races on SpeedTV, watching this video will give you a much, much better understanding of the racing you're seeing now. A must-buy.
