These 6R4s were awesome cars. As the head of Marketing at Computervision (the company whose colors and logo are all over these cars) in the UK in 1986 , I had the privilege of taking a ride with lead driver Tony Pond in an airfield not far from Bath in the UK. There's no other driving or riding experience like it. I have never experienced the kind of G-forces in any other vehicle that I did then in the tight turns. Pond, expertly floored the gas pedal to the very last fraction second and deftly applied the brakes as he made the often square turns. Each time I was convinced we would crash but far from it. I got a new respect for race driving from that one event.

I can remember reading somebody´s comment on Richard Madden that "anything he puts his hands on is always great" and I must agree. I have seen most of his filmography during the lockdown and he is either really lucky on the scripts or he has a good nose on the good ones. Not to mention he IS a pretty good actor, one of the very best of his generation. I don´t want him to play Bond or a superhero...He has so much to offer, would be great to see him in as many different roles as possible. I DO LOVE his acting, he is never the same. As for Group B, although the plot is kind of cliche, it draws one in, has an amazing camera with great ideas (the outside mirror, all the close-ups). Watching it is a real enjoyment, there is much more than one would expect from a short movie.

This short film transcends beyond the surface of riveting action sequences and the dramatic politics portrayed in most Motorsport films. As an audience, we captured an honest vignette of a human being-in just the span of less than half an hour-coming to terms with his trauma that has painfully hindered his passion and desire to race. Everything from the pastel, low-contrast color correction, to the minimalist score complemented by our vicarious experience through Shane’s perspective (ie. the pensiveness and hesitance within the confines of his bedroom, the sheer anticipation of sitting in the cockpit and experiencing the ambience of Shane’s sensorial awareness) is what makes this film transcend beyond the standard spectacle of racing. A racing film that is 2/3 dialogue and 1/3 action sequence within the span of 25 minutes says something about the intentionality and delivery from this film crew. I’m almost glad that this is neither a series nor a feature film, because it makes the level of artistry that much more valuable in my honest opinion.

This was incredible! The feeling the sound created was so immersive and intense. Richard Madden's performance was so good, the way he portrayed emotion really made me connect with Shane. I'm a 90's kid so I missed out on the group B era but I love motorsports, in particular rally. I've watched all the old group B clips on KZbin and love it. I think this was a really well done and very special film, that has done a great job at paying homage to a very special time in motorsports history. Well done to everyone involved, what a beautiful film.

Good GOD everything about this is Incredible. Indescribably good direction, amazing acting, brilliant sound design. Especially as a driver myself, everything about this was fucking nail-biting. I felt like I had a rope tied around my chest for the entire duration. And then. Those final moments hit. The sudden poignant, relieving, and triumphant Majo-key shift, as they overcome the radio issues, and get back in the race. I felt as if I was living the moment he got over what was holding him back, and drove. AGH INCREDIBLE! Truly incredible. Richard is a brilliant actor. He's able to deliver such a compelling performance, with such varied subject matter over his roles. He really, properly sold this. This is an indescribable experience. It deserves every bit of praise it's received and more.

Wow, I'm speechless, but I will try to share the most I can of my emotions. I don't think I've felt like this for a racing movie ever since I went to watch Ford v Ferrari at the cinema. I could feel the intensity, there were so many moments that reminded me of myself when I race. When he looked at the kid, it reminds me of when I just stared at other people just thinking "Here we go" and when he looks up at the trees and just stares at just an empty sky where it all looks peaceful but inside of him there's this bomb trying to look for a way to shut itself off. When he is sitting down in the car and he is moving his leg anxiously because he is nervous about what will come and also wants to set off already, he doesn't want the energy of wanting to drive to torture him anymore so his thoughts don't bother him anymore. I don't know why, but I can relate to it in some way, I do karting, and I know Group B was out of this world and Karting doesn't even come close to it, but I could feel him you know? Even if I only hit 115 kilometers per hour on a straight and 50 kilometers per hour on a turn, I feel so close to this story.

Fantastic short film! It was filmed brilliantly, and in such a short amount of time, managed to capture, how intense that era was, in rally racing. That audio transition, when he slid his helmet on, and everything was muted, aside from his breathing, was so visceral! The Golden Era of Rally, for me, was Group A. Group B though, was certainly the most special. Those cars were, and still are, basically unicorns. Those men, were a different breed.
