As we know recent years have seen Hollywood finally get to grips with how to craft motor-racing films and documentaries, with the releases of Senna and Rush both being released to critical acclaim and helping to shrug off the tarnish that came from films such as Driven previously. Of this recent spate of films the one that most intrigued me was was 2014's Gonchi, made about the late driver Gonzalo Rodriguez who passed away in 1999. Whilst I understand that the film was made by Uruguayan film-makers about the most successful driver the country ever had it is still a left-field figure considering the fact he failed to make it into a top level series, and yet the film is a wonderful piece of cinema which I would recommend to most F1 fans.

 

But it did get me thinking about things, and led me to this challenge Can you give ANY racing driver a movie? Whether it be a multi-time champion or a mediocre and forgettable one-timer?

The challenge therefore is for people to make trailers or photoshopped posters for F1 or motor racing films, the more left-field and undeserving the better.

 

I mean who wouldn't want to see Markus Winklehock or Taki Inoue in their own film?!

 

The stage is yours everyone.

I don't know why but Roscoe being the editor makes me chuckle the most.

[toxicfusion]

And Lewis isn't even in the picture of the cars at the bottom. 

[Marklar]

Thats Roscoes fault

[muramasa]

And Lewis isn't even in the picture of the cars at the bottom. 

it's an extremely refined and sophisticated expression to imply his speed - too fast to even be in a frame, so we appreciators are suppose to "see" Lewis outside the poster, further down there. It also expresses his extraordinary and unconventional lifestyle and attitude.

The caption from Lauda in the Inoue one...

[YoungGun]

His window "happy face" is cute.

There's a picture of Lewis missing from that poster...

In any case, they're making a movie on Maldonado based on:

It's going to be called "Crash you if I can", but financing is looking bleak given the results of the last election yesterday...

Somebody please do one for DJ Willy P and his double birdie. I lack the prerequisite Photoshop skills.

[R Soul]

How about a Chanoch Nissany film called No Rush?

 

Afterburner, your sig fits the tune of Whatever You Want by Status Quo.

Hahaah "No Rush"....

It comes from a song which is probably known a little bit better. Words to live by.

Put this together a few days ago, feel it fits the discussion topic:

Personally I'm not the biggest fan of the woman, but I see it as an affectionate parody of the Sports biopic and it kept the creative juices going so I hope it's worthwhile.

I might think of something more obscure later, but for now this will have to do!

There will always be a special place in Ferrari's history for Rubens Barrichello, but his infamous quote from 2009 was too good not to use.

i just remember this from many years ago for Jens in Honda years, does this count?

I seldom watch movies so I always fail to understand the context tho

I'm not sure undeserving is the right word here, because I'm sure it'd make a great movie, but here we go!
