“What an amazing film. It was everything that I Superbiker wasnu0026#39;t. Has made me love Guy Martin even more (if that was possible). I had read that the film focuses too much on the deaths and crashes that have been present through the history of the race. I disagree; I think they dealt with them well and in a way that really does bring home what this circuit means to all those who race there.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI certainly donu0026#39;t think this is just a film for the boys (being a female motorcyclist myself) and I donu0026#39;t even think you need to have a love of bikes. Right from the start you care about the characters, the race footage and interviews etc keep you on the edge of your seat, with your heart in your mouth throughout the film I hope this film does a lot for for the world of motorcycle racing; both circuits and road racing alike.”
