Struggling toward the PPG CART World Series, the Newman/Haas team turns to wind- tunnel testing with a model to fine-tune the aerodynamic forces at work on Michael Andretti’s car. Only as the film unfolds and Lyons’ lovingly restored machine approaches completion does the illustrious identity of the roadster become known. Lyons’ discovery of a vintage 1964 roadster in a farmer’s dilapidated chicken coop has lead him into an extraordinary restoration project that will take two solid years to complete. Mario Andretti lends his expertise, taking the car out himself to probe its behaviour and cornering limits.Īs Michael Andretti’s Indy car is being readied for the racing season, car restorer Don Lyons is hard at work in his workshop, deep in the Michigan countryside. Will the new car perform? Will it be fast and forgiving? Testing the car on some of the fastest tracks in the world, Michael Andretti and the Newman/Haas team prepare for the upcoming season, striving to create the winning synergy between car and driver that will help them take the championship. In Lola’s shops the powerful new racing machine for Newman/Haas takes shape: its form is milled and molded, and in time-lapse, the final creation is magically assembled on the plant floor by a team of technicians and engineers.

Set against the drama of the track are two story lines that follow the remarkable craft of creating Indy cars: the restoration of a 1964 roadster - a thoroughbred once driven at Indianapolis - and the building of Michael Andretti’s state-of-the-art Indy car at the Lola car plant in England.
