These
two DVDs showcase the incredible talents of a group of American riders who
reshaped the face of motorcycle racing in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s.
American Challenge consists of two films: ‘1978 Formula 750 Champion’ follows
Steve Baker as he becomes the first American to win a motorcycle World
Championship; ‘Spa’ sees Freddie Spencer taking on the challenge of one of the
most notorious courses Europe had to offer.
He’s also the star of ‘Fast Freddie’.
His almost unnatural skill and fluid style on a bike come to the fore as he
battles the best Europe has to offer – and almost invariably wins. These superb
period films really bring to life the racing scene in an era before mass
commercialisation.
