Downshift (2014)
Three races, a long history to overcome and two drivers who must navigate it all in DOWNSHIFT. Two long lost brothers who reconnect at a roadside diner and set off on a winner take all best of three series of races across America. From the mountains of upstate New York, through the ports of Baltimore, down to the marshlands of Louisiana and out through the desert ending in Los Angeles 3000 miles away.
