Prepare for Dakar by watching Dream Racer

If you’re looking for a motorcycle film to watch over Christmas break, here’s one that’s a timely fit.

While roads freeze over and snow falls in Canada, racers from around the world are converging on South America for the start of the 2016 Dakar Rally. And to get you in the spirit for that two-week off-road rally, here’s a movie about the 2010 race, featuring an ordinary motorcyclist who made it his goal to compete.

You can check out the trailer above, and if it looks like something you want to see, you can watch the video on-demand here (there’s a charge). Dream Racer is also available on Blu-Ray and DVD, but we doubt it would arrive from Australia in time for you to watch it over Christmas …

Don’t forget: Administrative paperwork and technical check-ups for the riders start next week, so the race really is just around the corner.
