New York, NY — An adrenaline-pumping, death defying trip inside the world of motorcycle racing, unparalleled racing scenes at exhilarating speeds, and the intriguing rivalry between two international superstars are at the center of FASTER, coming to DVD in the ultimate 2-Disc Collectors Edition November 16, 2004 ($29.95 SRP) from Docurama. With more energy and intensity than a Hollywood action movie, this high-octane doc narrated by Ewan McGregor (Star Wars, Big Fish) is the most true-to-life look at grand prix motorcycle racing ever brought to screen. A heart-hammering smash at Slamdance and a real-life look inside the pinnacle of motorcycle racing, the MotoGP, this tread-burning DVD set chases four seasons of the super track tour over five continents, capturing the speed junkies of MotoGP in thrilling action and featuring interviews with riders, mechanics, doctors, commentators, and fans.

“FASTER takes the DVD format and pushes the throttle all the way to the finish line,” said co-president and founder of New Video, Steve Savage. “Our Ultimate Collectors Edition offers an exhilarating, real life look at the sport of grand prix motorcycle racing-with over 2 and a half hours of bonus content on two discs including the sequel to FASTER, Faster & Faster ’03-’04, the set is a must-have for motorcycle enthusiasts as well as fans of speed and action sports in general.”

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.

The Ultimate Collectors Edition of FASTER has been digitally remastered in 5.1 audio and features over 2½ hours of exclusive bonus content including:

* Faster & Faster ’03-’04, The Sequel
