Who's texting you this late?
Dionisi's checking up on me. It's preseason testing tomorrow.
-She's asking if I'm in bed. -Mm. What did you tell her?
That her text message woke me up.
[tires screeching]
Blu, you're not racing tonight?
I will if you want me to.
[tires screeching]
Show me, then.
[woman] The best drift so far came in 28 inches away from the gap.
Whoever comes closest wins.
And if you go over the edge, it's game over.

While she's traveling, she'll have to visit each city's police station
to provide them with two signatures.
When she arrives, and when she leaves.
If she fails to comply, or if there's any kind of misstep,
this privilege will be revoked.
Meaning that Blu Venturi will go back to jail immediately. Hm?
If that's clear, then sign this.
Totally clear.
I have to say, after what she did in Mugello,
for you to want to put her behind the wheel of one of your cars
is pretty brave.
My dad used to say, "A champion's created when someone believes in them."
[man on PA] Venturi and Ambrosia to the track.
[Elena] Why isn't she answering? Where is she?
Come on, Blu. Pick up, for God's sake!
[Ettore] Hey, Elena, check this out.
Your driver did something crazy last night.
[crowd chanting on phone] Blu! Blu! Blu! Blu! Blu! Blu! Blu! Blu!
-[crowd cheering on phone] -[chanting continues] Blu! Blu! Blu!
I told you, she's not a driver.
Dammit.
[panting]
Oh yeah. I forgot about that.
What are you looking at?
What the hell's on your face?
-[exhales] Oh shit. -[Paolo chuckles]
[Elena scoffs, sighs]
Sorry I'm late!
Mm. So nice of you to finally show up.
Don't speak to me.
Stop running your mouth, and get into the car.
And when I call you, you pick up the goddamn phone.
What do you mean, "Get into the car"? I haven't configured anything yet.
Besides, she didn't get an ounce of sleep last night.
I can smell the booze she drank from over here.
-[Elena] All right. -Nobody's driving this car right now.
Listen, qualifying is today only.
You will let her get into that car and do three laps around the track.
Otherwise, there's no championship. We'll all lose more than we can afford.
-Especially me. -Are you listening to the boss, you clown?
Shut your smart-ass mouth, little girl! Got that?
No, listen, maybe I haven't made myself clear.
This guy is your driving coach, all right?
You're gonna train her, and she's gonna listen to you.
Because otherwise, I'm gonna send you back to jail tonight,
and then you will end up dead in your workshop.
What do you think? Should we get on with qualifying or not?
-I'm digging this little toy. -[Elena scoffs]
That "little toy" is worth a fortune.
Now, remember that the last chicane has a tighter turning radius.
Don't overdo the elevation changes.
-You're letting her do it? Oh, all right. -[Elena] Of course.
-Look, as long as you don't push it… -I'll be all right.
In the meantime, go and wash your face. And be quick about it.
Are you kidding me?
-How much? 200? 250? -But it's a pretty color, right?
[Giulio] Get one thing straight.
Your team's expenses aren't this family's responsibility.
There's only one team, and that's Alpha Blaze.
I don't think you understand how harmful having two teams is for this company.
No, you just don't think that having a female Dionisi
at the helm of your company is good for it.
Which team do you think is actually gonna win here?
Tell me. I wanna hear it.
The one with Benini, who's on the verge of bankruptcy?
And your other driver, the lunatic ex-con, who drag races all night?
She's out of control. Everybody knows it but you.
I just hope that little maniac doesn't totally wreck the car.
Because tomorrow, you're taking it back to Vasco.
-Life isn't all just fun and games, sis. -Just fuck off.

Well, her time was good until T3, right?
Come on, she was a mess.
If it weren't for the gravel, she would've hurt herself.
-Plus, she missed the entire T4. -Yeah.
Okay, that's done. Who else have you got in mind to drive, hm?
Hey! You can race!
That was good driving.
I hope you pass the scrutineering.
[chuckles]
[Elena] I just met with the committee.
She's new at this, so there's a margin of error.
The first lap was very good. They'll let us try again in Race 1.
-So they're letting me through. -Not exactly, no.
You have ten days to pass the scrutineering test
and to sweep your competition.
[Arturo] I can't believe it.
What did you say to persuade them all, huh?
Come on.
[intriguing rhythmic music playing]
You know we're just wasting our time here.
Hey, listen, could we try a little optimism?
It's beautiful up here, come on.
So boring.

Yeah, all right. This is more like it.

Go.

You've straightened out, so you wanna tap the brake.
Careful now. Not too much pressure on it.
-You see those snowdrifts over there? -I'm not blind, okay, Barnie?
Drive through the middle of them.
Do a sharp turn, and then keep going. Come on.
Watch out for that little one.
Come on, now. Try to be a little more controlled.
You're all over the place.
You need to feel the car. Come on, really feel it.
Go, Blu. Go, Blu.
You want to countersteer now, all right? Decisive. Stay round on that turn there.
You gotta-- No, you gotta-- Listen.
Get your speed up again, and another countersteer.
I'd recommend not hitting those poles.
Countersteer again here.
-Go for it! -Go now!
-[exhales in frustration] -[music continues]

Good job, Barnie. Gardening looks good on you.
Ahmi, you'll never guess where they've brought me. This place is cra--
-Hey, give me my phone back. -No.
You're going to bed as soon as the sun goes down.
You're not gonna need your phone.
-Tell him to give me my phone. -Look, try to stay calm. Huh?
You should give it back.
Fuck's sake.
What is this place?
[Elena] Hm.
Listen, if you don't like it, I can arrange to have you go back to your cell.
[Blu] Hm.
Breakfast is at 5:00. I recommend being on time.
Have a good night.
-[Blu] Wait. -Mm?
I'm not gonna talk to him. Not today, not tomorrow.
Well, whether you like it or not,
right now, he's the best thing you've got going for you.
Nobody loved your dad more than Arturo. If you don't want to talk to him, don't.
The important thing is that you listen to him. Is that clear?

[birds chirping]
[rooster crows]
[Blu] No! [groans]
What are you doing? It's freezing! Ugh!
[Arturo] Come on, get up! Let's go!
[wood clattering]
-[Arturo groans] -[Blu] It hurts, huh, Barnie?
When you're racing,
it's not the speed that ends up killing you.
And it isn't the sharp corners either.
It's your emotions.
If you want to race and stay alive,
then you have to learn to control your emotions. Mm?
[intense rhythmic music playing]
There's only one spot you can strike to split a log.
You can't just make a guess. Here.
There's a big pile over there.
And when you're done, come have breakfast.
You want me to do it all?
Yeah, do all of it.
Push back into my hands.
-There. -[Blu grunts]
-What are you doing? [grunts] -Nothing. Don't you have any muscles?
By the fourth turn, your head will drop.
By the fifth, it's over, if you can get there.
Are you saying this 'cause I don't have the body of a man?
I'm saying it because your physique's really bad.
You're weak.
You need muscles in your arms, your legs, your neck, all over.
Do it harder.
And bend your knees, or you'll get sciatica really quickly.
[sighs] Oh, for fuck's sake.
Now, find your balance.
-[Blu grunts] -Come on, Blu. Stand up!
-[Blu grunts] -[Arturo] Go on.
-Okay? -I'll be waiting for you down at the lake.
[Blu] What lake?
[compelling music playing]
[grunts angrily]
Give me a car to drive, and I'll show you, you fucking clown!
[Arturo] Any slower, and you'll put down roots! Come on!
[grunts]
[Arturo] Hey, better late than never!
Look how majestic it is! All right, now empty them into the lake.
What kind of person empties water into a lake?
What are you, a psychopath?
It's a beautiful lake!
-It's peaceful and relaxing! -[Blu exhales]
Come and empty them out. We need to tie them to this board here.
[Blu] I'm not getting on that.
Listen, if you don't learn how to adjust your posture during directional changes,
then you'll never be able to control a car going 180 miles an hour.
That's the only Porsche you've got right now.
[Blu grunting]
[Arturo] What are you doing? Get on it, come on!
Nice work!
Focus on one spot, and straighten out your neck a little.
-Stand up straighter, come on! -[Blu yells]
Get back on! A little bit of water never hurt anyone!
Oh yeah? Then why don't you do it?
If you talk, you'll lose your balance, and you'll fall again!
When you're young, you think you've got a million shots at greatness.
But it only happens once, huh?
All you've got is today!
[Blu grunts]
[Arturo] Relax. Try to find a little inner peace, a little balance.
Relax, straighten out!
[Blu wails, grunts]
[Arturo] Nice try. Get back up, do it again.
We can do this all day, you know.
[music fades]
[animal calls in distance]
So? How's the training been going?
-Fine. -It's bullshit.
Should we talk about it?
[both] No.
[Arturo blows]
Spending the evening with the two of you is great.
What? Do I need permission to leave the table?
[sighs]
-[dishes clatter] -[Blu exhales]
Your friend out there is a real chauvinist asshole!
[water running]
You know that your plate isn't going to wash itself?
He's training me so hard I spit blood, but he still won't let me drive!
I see.
To your point about him being an asshole, I have nothing to say.
But there is something in his manner, the way he speaks to you.
If a guy like Arturo didn't care about you,
then he'd have already given up on you.
In our world, nobody does anything out of pity.
[scoffs] Yeah. A world where best friends get away with killing each other.
Drivers at this level of the industry always take everything into account.
That they could die, or that they might lose their friends.
It can happen to anyone.
Does this place have internet or not? The hell am I supposed to do tonight?

[Elena] It's always so cold here at night, huh?
Even in the summer.
You know, I can still remember when you guys went on your retreats.
[chuckles]
And that one summer when Arianna was here too.
Maybe you should tell Blu about it.
That was another life.
One that I don't care to talk about.
You shouldn't have given up racing.
The nerve in my leg was totally decimated.
[Elena laughs] Right, the nerve in your leg. Sure.
While the Arturo I knew would have raced with only one leg.
What's up?
Have you become some kind of Zen monk, Benini? Huh?
[chuckles]
Your streak of madness…
It looked good on you. Made you handsome.
And I wasn't the only one who thought so, you know.
[Arturo] Hm.
Blu will never listen.
She's never gonna trust me.
But I know that you don't care about that.
You're so pigheaded, you wanna win everything,
challenge everyone. Huh?
Do you see it, or not? I don't think she can handle it.
She can't handle herself, so how can she manage the past?
Well, pigheaded or not, I recognize something in Blu.
Of course she might crash.
But I think she'll make it, and I think you agree with me.
You can't spend your whole life rationalizing things.
-Well, what else is there? -[chuckles] You wanna know?
It's the thrill of it, the instinct, the adrenaline.
Something that you can't control. It's just there.
It's there between me and her, between you and me.
And between you and Blu.
I know you can't have forgotten.
I know exactly how you set up the car when you were racing with Michele.
When you finished the testing,
I would stay behind because I wanted to see how you would set it up.
I would spend the entire night in there.
I liked all the details.
And I liked you.
I did too.
[Elena laughs]
[Arturo inhales slowly]
Are you saying that you "liked me" liked me?
I really liked how you raced.
The way you would bend your head on the turns.
The way you would always spin the car on its axis.
So yeah, the details.
That's what catches everyone off guard, though.
What does?
-The details. -[Elena chuckles softly]
And when you're on a team…
The details always send the driver careening off the track.

That's right, but I'm not here about mine.

I'm here about the one my sister bought.
-[Blu laughing] -[Elena] But I'm telling you, the problem…
The problem wasn't that I drove my motorcycle into the restaurant

-No! -No!
The problem was that my mother was sitting at the table.
-Oh no, no way! -Yes, I swear!

…I was with Ahmed.
He wanted to get fast food, okay,

[Arturo] No!
We had to pull over in the middle of nowhere.
-Wow. [laughing] -[Arturo] That's a horrible image already.
[Blu] And when we finally made it back,
the cops were there leaning against the car with the sirens on.
No.
[Blu] I was turning 18 that night.
And thanks to those goddamn tandoori chicken wings,
it was just past midnight.
So the police took me in and locked me up.
And my mother, Arianna…
Well, I haven't seen her since.
She didn't even come see me when I got out of jail.
Whatever. [chuckles emotionally]

The accident with my father.
[somber music playing]
How did it happen?
There isn't much to tell.
I thought that he would break. That's what I would've done.
But then suddenly,
light started flooding into my helmet.
The sun was too strong.
I misjudged the distance, and we collided.
And that was it. It was an accident.
[Blu inhales shakily]
And were the two of you really good friends?
He and I were inseparable.
He was my best friend in the world.
He was my brother.
And also your rival.
What was he like?
My mother never talked about him.
Ah, Michele… [chuckles softly]
He was different from everyone else. I mean it. He was unique.
He had an insatiable need to race.
He was different from me.
I would put my foot on the gas and forget everything, but not him.
He wanted to build something. He wanted to get somewhere new.

for race number one.
She's giving it all she's got to keep pursuing her dream, folks.
Will her flag be green?

[thrilling music playing]
[Arturo] Hear that music?
Enjoy every second of it, because this is your moment, kid.
[commentator] And now, with less than half a lap to go,
Venturi is pushing hard towards the green flag.
She's lighting up the track!
Green! Green! She did it! Bravo!

Venturi is also the only female in this competition.

STAGE 1/6 MUGELLO CIRCUIT
[Arturo] Blu, we made it. You're in.
Now, focus.
Time to begin! Let's go!
This is it, folks. Nothing but pure adrenaline now.
Let it breathe, baby. You gotta let it breathe.
[commentator] Newcomer Paolo Ferri with his Ferrari for Alpha Blaze
and Blu Venturi with her Porsche 911 for SC17,
are locked in a head-to-head battle, edging everyone else out.
We're watching a war between the youngsters, and it couldn't be better!
[man] There's a little more grip on one side. Maybe check the brake balance?
[commentator] Look at that beautiful Porsche commanding the lead!
Surprisingly, it has a good chance of sweeping this race!
She's a bullet out there.
-[Blu] Is it time for attack mode? -[Arturo] Not yet. You're good.
-Stay calm! -[Blu] The balance is stable.
Give me some space!
How far is Ferri?
[Arturo] He's .7 behind you. Not a problem.
You'll be able to control him.
You gotta watch out for Berselli. He's coming up from behind.
-Don't let him pass you. -[Paolo] Goddammit, get off my ass.
-[Arturo] Tighten that corner! -[Blu] He's right on my exhaust pipe.
Ferri isn't your problem. He's not the issue.
Don't play his game.
-Concentrate on the track! -[commentator] Whoa!
Blu Venturi attempts a bold maneuver on the brakes,
nearly making contact with Paolo Ferri from Alpha Blaze.
Easy! Don't give in to racing like he does! Stay with yourself!
That's all that matters.
Stay focused! Visualize it!
What the fuck? This Alpha Blaze is a bastard.
Oh, I don't know how you drink this crap! It fucking sucks!
[commentator] Venturi is not giving up! She's holding her line down.
Ferri's got to steer to avoid making contact,
but Alpha Blaze's driver will not be intimidated!
Ferri attacks Venturi straight on!
He's overtaking her!
Ferri passes! Ferri passes!
-[Blu] No! -They touched on the bend!
She's on the verge of a penalty now.
Go, go, go!
She's also running low on fuel. Won't be able to recalibrate to catch up.
No, she shouldn't be pushing like that. Ferri is making her too nervous.
Blu, listen to me. You've gotta stay focused.
Don't take any more risks.
[engines roaring]
[engine revving]
This pit is an oven. It must be 100 degrees.
My brain is melting.
[commentator] Paolo Ferri slows down briefly,
and then gets back on the throttle.
1:32:332.
Alpha Blaze is making incredible time and leading in the rankings.
Look at the exit, not at Ferri. Hold your position.
Hold. Hold!
[exclaims]
Hey!
You see? She doesn't listen to me!
Are you listening or what?
-Come on, come on! -[Arturo] Hold your position!
Hold your position! You have to control yourself!
Watch out for the exit.
You're at 150 miles an hour on the exit. Don't touch the wheel!
[commentator] Venturi is trying to intercept him at the corner exit…
[Arturo] Straighten up!
…but she's at risk of going too wide and ending up in the dirt.
Venturi spins out, putting herself in an absolutely heart-stopping position!
Venturi's Porsche is now stranded at the very edge of the track.
Filippi barely misses her by just a few inches.
Pollini slips by with his Lamborghini and overtakes Ferri,
who now drops into second place.
Venturi manages to straighten out the car and gets into fifth position.
She's proving she has grit,
but since this is her first race, her tactics may just have cost her deeply.
Okay, come on, it's all right.
"It's all right," my ass! She could've been standing on the podium!
[commentator] Vince Berselli takes the win,
and Ferri comes in second for the new Alpha Blaze team,
which rose from the ashes of the Dionisi dynasty,
led by the late, great Bruno Dionisi.
CHAMPIONSHIP STANDINGS
Perhaps a cold shower for Elena Dionisi, the disgraced daughter
who's back after a year's suspension.
Keep driving dirty, and next time I'll take you out.
Is that supposed to scare me, you idiot?
You're just lucky I don't hit women.
And you're lucky that I don't put my hands on pieces of shit.
And maybe you don't hit women because you just can't catch them.
Oh yeah?
Mm-hm. Without your pretty face glued to my ass, I would've come in first.
Little girl, learn how to drive.
-I'm a little girl, huh? -[Arturo] Come on, Blu.
Come on, Paolo. Let's head inside.
Get inside, now! Come on!
That's enough now, come on.
Pull that shit next time, and I'll have you disqualified, you psychopath!
So many divas in Alpha Blaze, huh?
You shit yourself, didn't you, little bro?
Well, get used to it, 'cause we're not going anywhere.
-[Blu] Well said. -[both] You shut up.
When I talk to you, you do what you're told, you listen to me.
At least you can say, "Yes, I've got it."
Lay off me.
You saw how he was taunting me, right? Didn't you see?
I'm the one driving, Barnie. Give me a break.
I'm tired of listening to your bullshit about staying calm and those heaters.
-If you'd let me push when I wanted-- -You would hurt yourself!
It's my voice that decides. You don't decide anything.
If you'd listened to me, you'd be on the podium right now, celebrating.
Not in the middle of the damn track about to get hit like a bowling pin!
Just back off and give me a break!
Come on, Arturo.
Let her cool off. She was great today.
[Arturo] Here.
What did you bring me? This isn't prison, you know.
Sure, but, uh, vitamin C is good for you, isn't it?
[Vittorio grunts weakly]
You're in a real mess, you know that?
That workshop is our home.
You and Michele grew up there.
What could I have done?
Well…
You know Michele's daughter, don't you?
Arianna brought her by when she was little.
[Arturo] Ah.
She used to love to play with all the engines.
I was the one who took her out karting, you know?
[somber music playing]
How was she? Was she as good as Michele?
She was as good as you.
But unlike you, she was looking for something.
What was she looking for?
A mentor.
But then, I don't know. Arianna stopped bringing her,
and I never saw her again.
Why do you think she stopped bringing her around?
Not sure.
Maybe for the same reason that you disappeared for 20 years.
[Arturo sighs deeply]
I also heard that she ended up in Casadio's hands.
He got her.
Uh, you know…
if you don't look after the things in your life,
evil will come and take them away.
Why are you suddenly so interested?
Come on, eat. It's getting cold.
[Ahmed] That clown Arturo needs to let you do your thing.
I mean, shit, you need the adrenaline.
And he's in your way. Who does he think he is?
Blu.
We need to do something real.
There's a job for the two of us.
Something for Casadio.
A bunch of cash,
a McLaren 720, the "S."
This time it'll be for real. Huh?
Arturo was right.
I shouldn't have touched the steering wheel.
[upbeat music playing on stereo]
[gentle music playing]
-[Arturo] Hey, it's late. -I brought our baby home to sleep.
This is our team's workshop, isn't it?
I also got this.
Shall we hang it up?
MICHELE VENTURI IS THE NEW STAR OF THE GT CHAMPIONSHIP
[Arturo] SC17. You still haven't told me why you chose that name.
[Elena laughs]
You'll find out when we win the championship.
Vittorio will be happy that his workshop is coming back to life.
Tell him, okay?
I think Blu was brilliant today.
She lacks experience. She just lost her nerve.
"Just."
Well, that's how people die.
[laughs]
It's also how you win.
I think you might be crazier than she is.
And do you like that about me, or does it scare you, Benini?
It terrifies me.
But you must like it a little bit.
-Those are all just details. -[Elena chuckles softly]
[inhales]
Mm. What do you think she's doing right now?
She's probably wrestling with her demons.
Come with me.
-To do what? -Come on.
-No, don't do that, please don't. -Yes! Come here.
-No. [laughs] -Do it.
[camera clicks]
[cell phone vibrates]
OUR GARAGE. GOOD NIGHT, DRIVER. TOMORROW IS A NEW DAY.
[cell phone vibrates]
NEW FOLLOWER PAOLO FERRI STARTED FOLLOWING YOU
Wanna go inside?
[cell phone ringing]
Give me a minute.
Vasco, hi.
Elena, honey, I've been trying to reach you.
-Yeah? -It's about the Porsche.
I know it's late, but I need to let you know that your check bounced.
I'm afraid you'll have to bring the car back tomorrow.
[phone clicks off]
[music turns uneasy]
I'm so sorry, but something's come up.
I have a fire to put out.
I've got to go.
[upbeat techno music playing]
[music fades]
