When GT Racer first hit our screens on Dave TV, you immediately knew you were watching something different, something special. For the first time in motorsports, television was capturing that one essential ingredient Formula One never quite manages to convey - the sheer joyous delight of driving exotic machinery extremely fast against a bunch of like-minded lunatics. Imagine the style and feel of Frankenheimer's 1971 Grand Prix with wa-a-ay more beautiful cars. Astons, Cobras, Ferraris, Jaguars ... they're all there.
Alexander Davidis, director of GT Racer says, "Spirit Level Film is the same company that brought us the legendary "C'était un Rendezvous" road movie ("It makes Bullitt look like a cartoon" said Jeremy Clarkson).
"GT Racer is the same deal - Alexander just get's it, the same way Lelouch does," enthuses Richard Symons of Spirit Level. "The thrill of speed, the beauty of the cars, the insanely intoxicating sound of the engines - a real guilty pleasure. Alexander manages to deliver that wide-eyed grin to the screen. Check out the on-line trailers (ww.spiritlevelfilm.com/gtracer ) with the volume at 11 - the audio's fantastic. I can listen to DVDs in the car and this really is a soundtrack to drive to. Naturally, my wife tells me I'm a very sad individual. This may well be true, but she can't stop me smiling".
