Paddy Doherty, a young English twenty-something, has loved motorbikes for as long as he could remember, almost as long as his best pal, "Mucka" O'Neal. But a chance conversation over a pint, on a sunny summer's afternoon, buys him a one-way ticket into the insane world of motorcycle racing. Stoically partnered by "Mucka", the pair embark on an adventure into the adrenaline-packed life of motorcycle racers. Rivalry, romance, disaster and success pave the track of this gritty, earthy, humorous adventure around the motor-racing circuits of the UK. From the cold winter's morning of their nervous first race at Mallory Park, the racers progress through the ranks, making colourful friends, and dangerous enemies along the way. Paddock parties, crashes, tears and above all, laughter run rich throughout this genuinely funny and heartfelt adventure. But how will it end for them, on a podium with champagne, or in a hospital bed? The Racers unfolds in a climax of burnt rubber, all the way to the chequered flag
