Faster (Rapide)

That is the day

I made the biggest mistake of my life.

I was angry.

I felt betrayed.

And that's not a feeling you can shake off.

No way.

But allow me to go back to the beginning.

It all began exactly the same way.

A car speeding down the highway.

Move it!

Get outta my way.

Hurry up!

Move it, dammit!

Hurry up!

I'm maxed out.

I'm maxed out. - Max?

- Yes, this thing won't go any faster!

(gasps) I like that name.

- Oh, do you really think that was the time

to talk about that?

asshole!

Just over a mile, baby.

I can't make it another mile!

Shit! Ah!

What shit?

Why did you say shit?

- From the moment I was born,

I was addicted to speed.

But like, really addicted. - Isn't she supposed to cry

or something?

- No, I felt amazing at 80 miles an hour, I felt high.

From that moment on, speed became my thing.

Daddy, look.

I was never the cutest or the sweetest,

and especially not the wisest,

but I was always the fastest.

When I'm going fast,

I feel like the only person in the world.

I feel free.

- (gasps) Max! - I feel alive.

You lunatic!

You okay, sweetie?

- My father loved speed too.

One morning he up and left with no real explanation.

He didn't even look in the rear view mirror.

- That was the first time in my life

I wasn't fast enough.

- And I swore it would be the last.

- Yeah! - Woo!

Killed it!

Jealous.

Are you not having a good time?

Here, sweetie, look.

There are tons of games over there.

Take this and go have a little fun, okay?

Mwah.

Love you. - You got lucky.

(Bowler) Lucky? Get real.

Come on, now.

New player.

Max?

We're done, let's go.

Can I try this?

No, no, I don't think so.

It's very dangerous, you know.

Those things go really fast.

Plus, look, those kids are a lot older than you are.

- It's for kids over seven, ma'am.

And our carts are for boys and girls.

See, I can do it.

I'm not sure, honey.

- Please. - Come on, ma'am.

- Please, please, please. - Let her have a go.

Please.

- So that's to go faster and that's to break.

Never at the same time.

Got it?

All right, let's go.

Have fun.

Where is she?

I don't see her.

Er, uh, orange helmet, right?

- Yeah, that's right. - Okay, okay, okay, okay.

There she is. Right there.

- Wait, is she the one overtaking everyone?

I mean, there's no way.

She, she's never-

Driven?

Well, apparently she's a natural.

It's incredible.

Hey, look, Mom!

She's going really fast.

- Yeah, that's quite the understatement.

- Oh, my gosh. - Crash. Crash.

- Oh, my gosh. - Quick, quick over there.

- Someone go check on her- - Max!

- Please. - Parents, stay off the track.

- Oh, my gosh. - You okay?

Hey, hey.

Can you hear me?

- Of course I could hear him.

- You okay? - I was just in shock.

I had just taken a major hit and I loved it.

But now I needed to up the dose

- And here comes number 11.

It's Max Rolland,

who wins her first race of the season.

- An impressive performance.

- And there you have it,

the fifth win of the season for Max Rolland.

There's even a smiley face.

Thank you! - You like it?

- In racing, I have discovered a new addiction.

- Go, Maxwell! - Competition.

From then on, I wanted to be the fastest,

the number one always. - Yeah!

- And car 11 hasn't given anyone any chance.

It's in command to lead.

Who is number 11?

Max Rolland.

Oh, damn.

What?

It's a girl.

- And Max Rolland is breaking records.

It's unbelievable. - Woo, woo, ooh.

Whoa.

And now I had a dream.

Yeah!

To be a Formula 1 driver.

- There was even a school for it,

the Winfield Racing School.

So cool! - Mwah!

- My mom managed to save enough money for one year.

Just one year. - Go.

- So I couldn't afford to mess up.

Congratulations.

Your exceptional performance

has earned you a place in our school.

Here we will give you the means to become even better,

to maximize your potential.

You must feel deep down

that you have something the others don't,

something special.

This feeling inside,

this belief

it's bullshit.

Here you all have something special,

so nobody is special.

Look at the racers around you.

No, really look at them.

Know that one of them is going to take your place,

so you will have to step over them.

Remember that only one driver

will have the chance to drive an F3 next season,

the Winfield Racing School champion.

Here are your cars,

the F4 Mygale Gen 2 Alpine engine.

They'll be an extension of you this year,

so take care of them.

Saulnier, 21.

Muller, 26.

Duhil, 22.

Rolland, 25.

I want to see you go full speed in the two straights

and take the best angles on the turns.

That means keeping your distance, no overtaking allowed.

This is not the time to break out of the pack.

Don't be racing each other.

I want to see your potential, but no overtaking.

Alright, ready, set, go, go, go, go.

- 59.7, Saulner's gonna have to wake up.
