I grew up watching Formula 1 in the UK and last year began a romance with MotoGP.
I started to enjoy MotoGP for a couple of reasons;
-my new interest in bikes
-the documentaries
Faster (2003) and
Fastest (2011)
-the bite-size length of each race means you don't have to make a huge time investment to follow each race
The biggest thing for me though was watching
Fastest. For people unfamiliar with the series, riders and technology, this movie gives you all the context you need to start enjoy the series right away.
