The feature film debut from director Adrian Bonvento, “Rookie Season” gives audiences unprecedented access to the team throughout their 2019 season, be it through visceral in-car cameras, frank pit lane and engineering room discussions, or meaningful insight from the main characters.

With Pro Racer Robin Liddell on board to co-drive, with Joe Hall as crew chief, this documentary takes you on an emotional ride of success, failure, commitment, and dedication.
This is a very interesting documentary for racing enthusiasts as well as non-racing fans. This documentary contains many revealing and informative insights. The amount of effort and preparation is quite intense. From all technical aspects to weather conditions, to the psychological preparation not to mention the practical elements and physical conditions within the racing vehicle.
Breathtaking in parts, emotional, and also thought-provoking at times. This is more than just one for the fans. An inspirational piece well put together that is worthy of seeing more than once if Pro Racing is your thing.
