I’ve watched ‘The Circuit” this week and I like it to think that a female car racer is featured in here.
This movie starts out with Kylie Shines (Michelle Trachtenberg) a up and coming race car driver winning races in minor circuit. Then Mr. Cates of Cates racing shows up to offer her a chance to try out for his team. It just so happens Cates’ racing was team her dad did drive for but they let him go that is where opening came from. People are saying her father Al Shines (Billy Cambell) is all washed up. Al left Kylie to live with her Aunt at the age of 10 when her mother passed away as followed his own racing career.
As Kylie gets a taste of new found fame she also develops some new found feelings for her new teammate and competition for the spot on Cates racing , Kid Walker (Drew Fuller). As she starts to get ready for new career her father shows up after not seeing her for 2 years. He lets Kylie know that he doesn’t think she is ready to drive big league yet especially not for Cates’ Racing. Team. Kylie sees it as father just upset that the daughter is replacing him and keeps pushing on.
As Al forms his own new team he goes hunting for sponsors but keeps getting shut out and therefore running into money problems to fund new team. So Cates approaches him with an offer that he says will bring sponsors to him -”The race of Generations Al Shine vs Kid Walker.” But Al catches on very quickly and see’s Cates big plan is Al vs Kylie and refuses to take any part in it nothing more then publicity stunt. So better rent the movie and find out.
I watched this movie with my hubby and we enjoyed it very much . I would give this movie a n8 out of 10. It is a movie the whole family can set down and enjoy while it is predictable in some scenes but it’s still entertaining.
It was during at this time that I get acquainted to car spoilers. Race cars in “The Circuit” incorporate car spoilers to reduce drag and improve handling at high speeds. A good spoiler or wing with a well adjusted deck can make the difference between losing a race or winning it, all else being equal. Thanks to my hubby who patiently explains this things to me.
I wonder if passenger vehicles have car spoilers too- like the car who fetches me every morning? I better check it tomorrow to satisfy my curiosity…he..he…
