In the motorsports world, Suzuka City in Mie Prefecture is famous for F-1 and 8 hour endurance races. The city also attracts large numbers of young people who want to become professional motorcycle riders. Although many of these hopefuls - mostly young automobile factory workers - are so in love with motorcycles that they spend a large part of their salaries on their bikes, it takes more than enthusiasm to become a pro. This program centers on one young man who dreams of becoming a professional and enters a 4 hour endurance race. |
