Two Privateers attempt to compete in the world of Grand Prix Motor Cycle Racing

Race For Glory is an accurate attempt to depict the real racing world for privateers and their battle with the major corporate sponsored teams. These two young guys try to break into the Grand Prix Circuit with their own bike. It's a sort of "Rocky on Wheels" Story. The texture and production value of the film is quite amazing for the budget which reportedly was a bit over $8 million. The production company actually sponsored two real racers who ended up as #17 and 22 on the circuit for the year. This enabled them to be on the track and set up within the racing pits. Shot on location in France, Belgium, Yugoslavia and Boston. Peter Berg's first feature and he steels the show from Alex MacArthur. No wonder Peter's career took off after this film including starring in Chicago Hope and directing features. The racing scenes are quite amazing and justifiably so 10 cameras going throughout the Grand Prix's, camera's on the grand prix bikes and world renowned and Oscar nominated Cinematographer, Jack N. Green shooting the feature.

Great job

This movie was partly filmed in my Hometown of Beverly mass. I also am involved in Motor cycle sales especially Japanese sport bikes. I was able to get a close up look at how a area of my city (Beverly Farms) was converted into the fictional city the actors were from. They closed off large portions of Route 127, a winding country road to film Sport bikes reaching speeds of over 100 miles per hour. It took me a few years to find the finished product as 1989-1992 was still the dark ages of little internet. I enjoyed the film and have watched it several times. As my father gave his life to race Super Modified cars I like how the actors portrayed being poor and taking on the Rich Factory Team and them soldering on with little $ but a big dream to fulfill their ambitions..

I liked this movie, but probably because it reminds me of John Britten

And the other reviewers thinking the story is ridiculous, please quickly refer to John Britten's life.This movie is classic 80's b-movie fare. Which if you are used to it, you can look past, and enjoy a sometimes comical very loose interpretation (even if not intended) of what Britten tried to do. And of course you get to enjoy an early Peter Berg. His only better movie as an actor is Aspen Extreme. :)
