Item Special Note

In true cinematic fashion, FASTEST is a maximum-speed, full-length film capturing the thrilling, and sometimes terrifying, reality of MotoGP racing. From acclaimed filmmaker Mark Neale ("Faster," "The Doctor, The Tornado and The Kentucky Kid."), and award-winning producer Paul Taublieb, the film charts Valentino Rossi's quest for his eighth premier class championship as he battles back from a horrific, leg-shattering crash to take on a wave of ferociously fast young riders including Jorge Lorenzo, Ben Spies, Dani Pedrosa, Collin Edwards and 2011 MotoGP champion, Casey Stoner. With unprecedented access and never-before-seen footage, FASTEST asks the question every rider - even the greatest of all time - must face: who's fastest now? FASTEST. The greatest feeling. The greatest risk.

The film is dedicated to the memory of Marco Simoncelli, who passed away in a crash at the Malaysian MotoGP. The film features an in-depth interview with him about his upbringing, racing battles and his successful, but tragically too short, career.

Never-before-seen footage in the almost one-hour of DVD extras include:
- "Save!"
- "Redneck Physics and Real Physics" with Colin Edwards and other MotoGP riders and insiders
- "Yellow" a candid conversation with graphic designer Alberto Drudi and Kevin Schwanz about Rossi's colors and inspiration for his helmet designs
- A profile of Riders for Health, official charity of FASTEST
- The long version of the FASTEST trailer, including footage not seen in the movie
- And much more, including a go-kart battle between Rossi and his younger brother, an in-depth analysis of Rossi's career and the M1 bike with Yamaha engineering legend Musao Furusawa, and former Playmate Lauren Vickers' personal guide to the riders of MotoGP and the personalities of the paddock
"The behind the scenes footage will be viewed in years to come as hugely historical. Fantastic." - Toby Moody, MotoGP Announcer
