Here’s an interesting new digital release, a documentary titled The Gentleman Driver, which is now available over on iTunes.
Directed by Mario Mattei, this 90-minute documentary offers a thrilling inside look at the lives of four extraordinary businessmen and sports-car drivers who work hard and race even harder, narrated by British sports commentator, John Hindhaugh.
Unlike the worlds of professional football or soccer, where a non-professional can’t buy his way into playing in the Super Bowl or World Cup, the world of sports-car racing has a long-standing tradition of allowing world-class businessmen to pay to compete in top racing events like the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This film shines a spotlight on four such “Gentlemen Drivers”: Ed Brown, President and CEO of Patron Spirits Inc.; Ricardo Gonzalez, Chairman of the Board of ASUCQ; Mike Guasch, CEO Molecule Labs; and Paul Dalla Lana, CEO of NorthWest Value Partners Inc.
Here are some images from the release as well as some more information on the doc.
Join these high-level businessmen as they strap themselves in behind the wheels of the world’s most technologically-advanced race cars to participate in the exhilarating and often dangerous world of international sports-car racing. Watch as they steer a perilous course riddled with obstacles, including facing down negative stereotypes about what it means to be a “Gentleman Driver.” Yet, through dedication, passion, and skill, success always seems to magically follow these men.
To help demystify this phenomenon, The Gentleman Driver features expert interviews on the subjects of success, flow, and sports psychology. It also offers viewers rare access to behind-the-scenes racing environs like the pit garages, personal conversations with the drivers and crew, and tours with the “Gentlemen Driver” CEOs at their places of work. The documentary also incorporates gripping race-track broadcasts and in-car action-cam footage.
You can find more information and check out the trailer for the film over on the documentary’s official website. The Gentleman Driver is available on iTunes now.
