Watched it today, very, very inspirational! I couldn't help comparing it to the Charley Booreman 'Race to Dakar' DVD. Most of the time throughout that DVD Charley seemed to be willing himself to fail, and it seemed that he was relieved that his injuries put him out of the Dakar. But with you Christophe, failing was never an option, even with a fair amount of negativity coming from the film maker! You definitely did it the hard way and finished, congrats on an awesome effort! IMO the 'Motorsport Journo' could have been edited out, bit of a tool!
That's a bit tuff on the journo, I thought he was funny This movie and race to dakar really give you great insight into just how tuff it must be
Thanks Christophe, Wow! How quick was the DVD delivery. You and the hours of effort you put in is truly amazing, I love your work mate. Cheers, Quirky
Hi everyone, Thanks for all the great comments, I have stolen a few for the facebook page, hope you don't mind. Anyone over in East Europe and Africa, please check your Discovery World / DSTV TV Guide. Dream Racer started playing in Iceland, Finland, and East Europe -- Bosnia, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovania as well as whole of Africa (50 countries). Schedule for Africa is between 20 - 31 December, playing tonight at 17:35 local time Sunday 22 Dec on DSTV. This is the short and clean 55' TV version, if you want the whole story, then head over to http://dreamracer.tv for the full 93' version (exact same that played at the Cinemas across Australia), you can buy the DVD or Blu-Ray, or watch it online via the Video-on-Demand section of the website. We also have a fun album going on on the facebook page with people posing with their copy of Dream Racer, a bit like Stanley-Around-The World. So send over your pics (don't be shy). The winner will win something....not sure what or when yet, but I am thinking something in the lines of strong emotions, suggestions??? Don't forget to leave plenty of great comments, this is word-of-mouth advertising at its best ... happening now! I received a great comment yesterday from a viewer suggesting this marketing tag line for Dream Racer "When are u going to start living you're dreams?" Merry Christmas to all...

Picked up a surprise Xmas present today at the Post Office...Many thanks and a Merry Christmas to you too, Christophe.
Wife got me the DVD for Christmas and just got done watching it. Fantastic bit of film making! Now get your ass out here and make a real movie about Finke Canoli
Hi CBV, any chance there will be an extended version at some point with more footage? A CBV (directors) cut as such?
Going to slip into my riding gear, pour myself a glass of wine and whip myself into a Dakar frenzy!:huh If you hear the bikes rockin...don't bother knockin!
My copy just arrived in the mail today - and I just finished watching. Fantastic!!!!! Thank you for this Christophe and Simon. There is something about the bikes and the landscapes that make this race magical, inspite of the misgivings I've had "observing" this year's race - it all makes sense via the images and words of the film. Brilliant and moving.
