- Title: Rookie Season
- IMDb: link
The documentary Rookie Season takes us behind-the-scenes of Rebel Rock Racing fighting to establish its prescience on the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge. With cameras in the car, on the track, and in the pits, along with behind-the-scenes interviews with drivers and pit crew, director Adrian Bonvento‘s film takes us along for the highs and lows of the team’s first season on the ten-race circuit which began with multiple wrecks to start the season and ends in glory.
The highlights of the film are putting the audience in the car with the driver, especially late during a race in rainy conditions and limited visibility where you get a feel for just how challenging the races are. While I think the documentary could get more in depth with its subjects, there’s certainly enough here to warrant a look for anyone interested in the sport.
