Original subtitles

It's getting closer, but it's not getting any nicer

Oh, wow

It did not look like this on the internet

Yeah, I don't remember it being this sausage color

Oh, man, it's a dump!

It's not so bad

We can fix it

We can start with that

Okay, that's the last box, Mum

Thanks, Jack I'm gonna take a look at the new shop

How about you ride down, and I'll see you there?

No worries, Mum

-Hey -Hey

Need some help?

Actually, you have an invite

Her mum heard we moved into town

Go-karts are for kids, Mum

Uh, you're a kid

I prefer you driving one of those than pulling cupcakes in my car

-They're called donuts, thank you -I know what they're called

-Stop doing them -I won't even know anyone

That's the point

You'll go to school with these kids once the holidays are over

I don't know

Look, here are your choices

You either go to the party,

or you can stay here and help me all afternoon

You know, because a platypus lays eggs and produces milk,

it's the only animal that can make its own custard

Wait Are you laughing with me or at me?

With you Yeah

I'm Colin Colin Faber

Jack Jack Hooper Nice to meet you

They're so fast

They are, aren't they?

I'm a bit nervous about driving one of these things

-I've never done it before -Neither have I

But I'm sure it'll be all right

Come on

Hey, it'll be an adventure

Who's the dude man?

Dean Zeta

State kart champion

Everyone thinks he'll win Nationals this year

Remember when I asked you if you were laughing with me or at me?

It was, like, one minute ago

Yeah, well, he and his mates laugh at me

Hey, out of the way

I know They're dim-witted vulgarians,

but I prefer to just ignore them and get on with my day

Come on

That's embarrassing

Woo-hoo!

Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Yeah!

How you going?

Woo!

Here I come, dude man!

Woo-hoo!

Yeah!

Come on

Move!

Show no fear, mate

Hey, Patrick

Mike

Thanks for holding the party here I appreciate the business

Yeah, of course

Have you thought anymore about coaching my boy?

Can't do it

Dean has a real shot at Nationals this year

All he needs someone with experience to help him get ready

And you'd make a great asset to our team, Patrick

Well, like I said, that's

not gonna happen

Why not?

Because your boy doesn't have enough talent and

I can't teach that

Yeah

Hey

How long have you been karting?

Um

about ten minutes

-Really? -Yeah

You were pretty good

I don't know I mean, I slid off

That's because you went on the outside of the track

That's where the marbles are

There were marbles on the track?

Not those kind of marbles

All the loose bits of dirt and rubber from the tires are swept onto the outside,

and when you drive over them, they're super slippery

Huh

Um, I'm Jack

-Mandy -Nice to meet you

So you, uh

race karts?

Yeah, but I prefer to make 'em go faster

So you're like a mechanic?

Well, they're actually called chief engineers, but yeah

I want to work in Formula 1 one day

-Cool - Mandy

Ready with the cake

Okay

-All right, I'll see you soon -Yeah

-Happy birthday -Thanks

-That's a nice dog -Thanks

Looks like he's got rabies

What's your problem?

When you spun off, you nearly took me out

I think you're mad because I almost beat you

Ooh

See, that would never happen

I had you

And you know it

Stay out of my way

That's your first and only warning

I really showed him, huh?

What's with the matching vests?

That's Mandy's mum and dad

He's like a race car guy Owns a team

-Hip hip - Hooray!

- Hip hip - Hooray!

- Hip hip - Hooray!

What's dude man doing there?

Oh, Dean? He's Mandy's brother

Of course he is

Never gonna beat you, am I, Dad?

Evening, Dennis

After everything that happened in Sydney,

you take my car again, two days after we get here

Mum, I was in the middle of nowhere

I mean, there was no traffic

And I'm driving a station wagon

Isn't that true?

Um

You were chucking donuts in an empty car park, son

Without a license

I apologize, officer It will not happen again

Well

considering there was no harm done,

I'm prepared to let you off with a warning

A stern warning

If I catch you at it again, you will be in very hot water

Understood?

Well, I should hit the road

The old frog and toad

Uh, I'm

Officer Barry Johansen

-by the way -Sorry Christie Hooper

Pleasure

Have you just moved into town?

Yeah, we're taking a lease on a shop on Queen Street

-Really? - Yes

That's great

Well, I might see you around sometime, at some point

In the future

perhaps

Okay

Okay

Evening

Thank you, officer

-Bye, Barry - Jack!

What?

You're doing donuts again?

What's going on?

Nothing

Well, why do you keep doing it?

I don't know

That's not a good enough reason, mate

One day, your luck's gonna run out

And it won't end well

I'm hoping that we can build a life here

You know you can tell me anything

-Maybe you want to talk to me about Dad-- -Mum, I'm fine

Look I got sausage because it matches the color of this house

Far out It's so expensive

So

you've been bitten by the racing bug

Is that when you can't stop thinking about how much of a rush it is?

And you feel like it's what you were put on earth to do?

That's it

Then I've been bitten

Well

I think that's great

Now

I reckon you should turn around

go home

and never speak of it again

Excuse me?

You had one three-lap race in which you spun off and finished last,

and now you want to make it your life's work?

You know what would be a better idea?

Collect every dollar you have,

and your parents have, and your friends have

and buy the nicest boat you can

Park it in the middle of the harbor

blow it up

and watch it sink

That'd be a better use of your time and money

than trying to make it as a race driver

Wow

You're the worst

Hit the bricks, kid You don't want this life

-And your prices are too high

No wonder no one's here

We don't open for three hours

Well, that explains it then

Actually

I do want this life

That's not the problem

I don't have enough money to pay you to drive here

And when I say enough, I mean any

It's not a charity

I've got an idea that could work for both of us

I'm listening

Clearly, this place needs some TLC

Is that right?

So employ me to help out, but instead of paying me

let me drive three laps of the track for every hour I work

-What's happening right now? -I'm thinking

One lap

And only when I say

-Three, because the track is short -One, because of fuel costs

Three, and didn't you hear what I said about the track being--

One And I'm not loving this backchat

-Three -Two

Deal

-Would have done it for one -Would have agreed to three

All right, you can start now

What's this for?

When the track gets dusty, it's too slippery to race on

You're gonna spray it with water to keep it intact

You want me to spray the whole track using this?

Indeed I do

Why don't we use that enormous water truck?

I trust this backchat won't be an ongoing feature of our conversation

Make sure you spray evenly

And one more thing

Do not enter my caravan without an invitation

Ever You understand?

Yep

Hey I googled you last night

It said you used to race cars

Won some big stuff

Less talking, more spraying

Get to it You're burning sunlight Chop chop

Thanks, Betsy

Whoa!

Hey, Mamasita

-Is that for me? -Mm-hmm

Oh, thank you

Mmm!

Oh, that's good stuff

Yeah, that's good

So I, um

I got a job today

-Really? -Yeah At that kart place

Oh, well done, you That's great

Not seeing a water sprayer

This mean I get to drive?

I can't drive with this thing on

You've got until sunset to paint the garage with it

Dude!

-Is this a joke? -No backchat

Get to it You're burning sunlight Chop chop

And don't call me "dude"

"You're burning sunlight"

Really, Mr Miyagi?

Well

why don't you shove this helmet

where there is no sunlight?

Yes!

-Finally - Good

Now do the inside

That's right Slow down, mate

Hi, Barry

Does this mean I get to drive?

I need you to wash all these

And

you're gonna do it with your feet

My feet?

Your feet

You know that's super weird, right?

No backchat

Get to it You're burning sunlight Chop chop

Can't you offset the top from the center and add more caster?

I know it's unconventional,

but if you tune it right, it's worth at least a tenth of a second a lap

Really? Is that what you reckon?

If that were true, then why aren't other teams doing it?

'Cause they lack imagination?

I think we'll stick with what we know

It's worked so far

Leroy wouldn't know a fast kart if it was stapled to--

Hey

He has 20 years of experience

And he's still wrong Amazing

Put me in charge of the kart I'll be a better chief engineer

Sweetheart, you know it's not that simple

How am I gonna learn if I never do it?

Maybe you'll get your chance one day

But right now we all need to focus on our jobs

so your brother wins Nationals

I need to do some driving, man

Regional championships are next week

Regionals?

No

You've got a lot of work to do before you're ready to race

Then why am I spraying the track?

Or painting the walls with my head?

I need to do some driving

And you owe me 100 laps

You'll drive when I say so

All right?

We have a deal

Well, I'm canceling it

You can't cancel it, it's a deal

Hello? Is this thing on?

It's canceled

Hooper out

You're not racing in Regionals

But I will let you drive

Today, all right?

All 100 laps

No stops

And when you're finished

you're gonna take everything inside that shed and put it in the bin

I'm gonna turn that into a snack bar

Deal?

Yeah

-Yes? -Yes!

Good!

Get to it

-You're burning sunlight-- Chop-- -Yeah, sunlight, I know Chop chop

Woo!

Woo!

Woo-hoo-hoo!

Looks like one of the Transformers threw up

Yep

Know much about mechanical stuff?

Me neither

So, what do we do?

I've got an idea

- Hey

What?

Wait! It's Jack!

Man, you scared the hell out of me

Why are you leaping out of shadows?

-You couldn't see me? -They're shadows!

Of course I couldn't see you!

What are you doing here?

Can you help me get my kart ready to race at Regionals?

And I don't have any money

So I can't pay you

In fact

it could end up costing you money

So what do you say?

Well, since you put it like that

Why are you asking me?

Well, I don't know anything about karts

And I don't know anyone who does,

except for you

So you're asking me because you didn't have any other choices?

Absolutely

And that I think you'd do a good job

-I'll do it, but with one stipulation -Okay

I'm chief engineer That means I'm in charge of the kart

Deal

See you tomorrow?

We'll see!

Cool

Woo!

You want to race this at Regionals?

It looks like it was hit by a truck

Can you fix it?

Was it hit by a truck?

That's the way we found it

I can fix it

Let's start by sorting everything

Put the engine parts there, the brake parts there,

the steering parts here, and the exhaust parts here

Clearly, we need to start from basics

Okay, listen closely There'll be an exam afterwards

-That's an axle-- - Uh, Mandy?

Yes, Colin?

Will there really be an exam?

No, Colin That's the axle This is the brake disc

-She's so cool -That's the brake caliper

-I'm just happy there isn't an exam -Yeah

It's so

ugly

It's not ugly

You know what's ugly?

Slow And this ain't slow

So where do we test drive it?

Are you sure we're meant to be driving on this?

Sometimes you don't ask for permission, Col

You just do it and apologize later

Now, this is a test drive, so take it slow

I hear you

I don't think he heard you

Idiot!

Woo-hoo!

Woo!

Woo!

Well, gentlemen, it's been real

-See you at the track tomorrow? -Yeah

about that This was a one-off

If my dad finds out I helped a rival team

he'll go off like a frog in a sock

-Thanks -No worries

Don't go on the outside of the track like you did at my party

If you get on the marbles, you will slide off

Hey, what if we get you a funnel?

That'd be faster Then I could just pour it right in there

Are you working at that kart place today?

Um, no

Today's my first race

Oh, really?

-Right -Yeah

First race

Well, that's cool

I'll get Colin to FaceTime you

He'll FaceTime me?

Yeah

Just answer the call

Race starts at 11:00

-Wish me luck -Luck

-Bye -Have fun!

Hey

Out of the way

You know you can't let them treat you like that

I know I just don't know what to do about it

You want to go home?

No way I don't want to miss out on an adventure

Yeah, mate

After the KA3 qualifying session,

title favorite Dean Zeta is in first place!

In second is Jess Hoyt, with Juliet Kay a solid third

Top three finishers in the upcoming final

move straight through to the State Championships

I attack until I lead I take no prisoners

I never concede

Whoever said winning isn't everything is a fool who knows nothing

I am unbeatable

Go do your thing

This race is in the KA3 class

And just a reminder,

the top three finishers go straight through to the State Championship

Come on, Jack

It's my son's first race today

-Oh, how nice -Yeah

Okay, here they come, folks, in formation Two by two

We're getting set for a start Green light's on

We're off and racing, folks!

Oh! That was a lunge, with a capital L!

Dean Zeta takes the lead, and he's streaking away

And young Hooper now thunders through into tenth place

-He's inside, he's outside -That's good

He is wearing this go-kart like an old suit!

They're quite zippy, aren't they?

Is it safe?

Well, they're wearing helmets

Into ninth

From ninth to eighth

He's going after the champagne, the glory, and the gold!

Come on, Hooper! You can do it, son!

He's moving up into fifth

-Oh, this is sensational -Keep going

Yes, Dean! Yes!

He uses the whole of the track

He's got his eyes on first place for sure

-Jack Hooper takes fourth -Come on, get out of the way!

Show no fear, mate

Don't go on the outside of the track You will slide off

Yeah!

Dean Zeta, first

Jack Hooper, third

Come on, Dean! Go!

What the hell are you doing?

-Coming third in my first race -But I told you you weren't ready

Which you just proved by making that reckless overtake

That overtake got me through to States

Yeah It could have put you in a coffin

But it didn't

You should congratulate me

Where did this come from?

The back of your shed

Not bad work

Did you do it?

I had a lot of help from my mates

And I I need help from you too

Will you be my coach?

-When I say coach,

I mean teach me everything I need to know about driving

I don't wanna be doing any more of this spraying

or painting or cleaning with my feet

All of that was to improve your fitness All right?

The spraying develops your arms, so they don't get tired when you steer

The painting strengthens your neck, so you can handle the G-forces when you corner

The cleaning improves your ankles' flexibility,

so you can work the pedals faster

See?

This is exactly why I need you to be my coach

-Are you thinking again? -Yes

All right, listen to me

I will coach you, but you are gonna do everything I say

Do you understand?

No backchat

Okay No backchat

Nice suit, by the way

Oh, those corn are great, by the way You're gonna love it

-Thanks, guys See ya -Thank you

Mmm

Mmm

No, no, no, no, no

Hi, Barry!

He did not

Not on my watch

Jack

I'm gonna get you to pull over and, uh, turn off your ignition, please

Your mother is going to be very disappointed

Jack?

Hello?

Is this thing working?

I'm ordering you to stop the vehicle

Please Thank you

What on earth do you think you're doing, mate?

I need you

to ask my mother out on a date

What?

-And why would I want to do that? -Because you like her

Excuse me? I don't

This You

You

I hope your conversation skills are better than this on the date

There isn't gonna be any date, mate

-Why not? -What makes you even think I like her?

Well, you haven't arrested me

The night is young

Ha! See? There it is

That's the type of cheeky banter my mother loves

Why are you asking me to do this?

You're a cop, so you're probably not a criminal

And you're not wearing a wedding ring You are single, right?

-Yes -Good

And I'm guessing your dad's out of the picture

Yeah

So, uh, what do you reckon?

The thing is

when I talk to women socially,

I have been known to freeze up from time to time

Okay

-Make that all of the time -Okay, well

that ends today, Barry

She's inside

Take a moment to come up with an opening line

All right

Okay

-Got it -Good

Try it on me Go

Hey, Christie

Would you like to go out to dinner with me?

Next week, perhaps?

Why do you have an accent all of a sudden?

-I don't have an accent -You do!

Okay, let's try it again One more time, yeah?

Okay All right

Hey, Christie

Would you like to go out to dinner with me sometime?

Sometime next week?

That was pretty good

-It was adequate -That was all right

All right Come on

Okay

Good luck

Ahem

-Officer Johansen -Hey

Uh, is everything okay?

Everything's cool-magool

Yeah

Um

Can I help you with anything?

Yes

Christie, I was, um

Christie, I was wondering if you'd, uh

like to go out to dinner with me sometime next week

Perhaps

Yeah That'd be lovely

-Really? -Yeah

That's great!

That's great

Um

I'll be in touch

Oh, okay

There we are

Uh

Bye

So, Regionals went well

Didn't need to make those changes to the kart after all

I guess

"I guess"?

What's that supposed to mean?

The kart was fast I won

Your changes weren't necessary

I'm just being honest

Don't take it personally

If your kart was fast, you would have pulled away

But you won by half a length

If you started anywhere but the front, you would have lost

I'm just being honest

Don't take it personally

Hey

Hi

I've been asked out on a date

-Really? -Yeah

That's cool

I don't know what you did, but

thank you

I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about

You know you don't have to fix everything, right?

You don't always have to be the strong one

It's okay if you want to, you know

show some emotion

That one

Hey, Barry

Welcome to race school

-What's that for?

Backchat It will also be used as a teaching aid

-It's really quite loud

Now get in

Sorry

Act like I'm not here

Place your hands on the wheel

Wrong

The correct position is nine o'clock and three o'clock

-It doesn't feel natural--

You'll always know which way your front wheels are pointing

if your hands mirror their position on the steering wheel

Easy breezy

Easy breezy

When the wheel's turned, a string will be tied on the accelerator

You won't be able to press it without snapping it

But as the wheel straightens

it'll start to give you some slack

You can floor it

Ugh!

I want you to drive as fast as you can

But you don't snap the string

You keep your hands at nine and three at all times

Aah!

Whoa

I'm all right

Easy into the corner

-Nine and three!

Wait till we exit

Nine and three

- Too soon

You've got to find that balance between the accelerator

and the steering wheel

Yes?

-Nine and three!

Keep the balance

Not so easy breezy now, is it? Huh?

All right, that'll do

Right

Same time tomorrow

Hey What if the race line is blocked?

I mean, how do I get past?

Well, each situation's different, so there's no right answer

But I like to apply the rules of the overtake

Be patient,

analyze what each driver is doing,

and take advantage of any mistake

What's going on?

I wasn't very good today

Feeling sorry for yourself isn't gonna make you a better driver,

it's just gonna make you annoying to be around

Yeah, but it pisses me off

Good

Use it

Hey

When I googled you,

it said that you retired from racing in the middle of the season

Hey, Mandy

She never says hi to us

Accelerate out of the apex

Remember your balance here Take a tighter line

Okay, pull it up here

How was that?

Oh, my God A smile!

That's the first time I've seen your teeth

All right, don't get cocky

You've got a long road ahead of you

You've got to prepare your kart for State Your friends are gonna help again?

I'm in!

Is he the one who made it quick?

He just found out the engine runs on petrol

We need the one who made it quick

-Hey, Mandy?

What?

Are you serious?

You did it again

You really couldn't see me?

We've been over this They're shadows

What are you doing here?

I wanted to thank you

I wouldn't have made it through to State without you

I know

Can you make it quicker?

I don't know if I want to

-Why? -Because you didn't listen to me

I told you not to go on the outside of the track,

and that's exactly what you did

The inside was blocked

The inside is always blocked

The trick is to find a way to unblock it

See?

I need to know this stuff

You only say that because you want me to help you

Absolutely

That doesn't mean it's not true

Will you do it?

I don't know

I'll take that as a definite maybe

Is this all your handiwork, Jack?

That's pretty good

I thank you

You're working with Mike Zeta's daughter?

Yeah, and he can't find out I'm doing this

This is not gonna happen

All in favor of Mandy being chief engineer?

Carried

You said you wanted the one who made it quick

Hey, I, um

I really appreciate you helping me out

No worries

I want to say thank you by

uh

asking you out

That'd be lovely

Right, well

This is awkward

Yep

I'll go see if Patrick needs anything

Anyway

I thought it'd be cool to see what you guys do for fun-ness around here

Does that smile mean yes?

It means

I'll meet you at the Rollerdrome tomorrow at six

Cool

Yeah

- Patrick?

Hello? I'm off

Oh, cool

What the hell are you doing?

Uh um

I had to drop off your keys

Right, and somehow break a $150 Thomastik-Infeld D string

I'm sorry

Get out

Whoa!

That's so cool

Get out!

Okay

Oh, my God!

You're so young

Who's your mate?

Nobody

Out

G'day, Barry

Everything okay?

Yeah, of course

Uh, no, not really

Thing is, I've got a date with your mother tonight

-Yeah? -And

I've come to realize that I don't know what she likes

So I need some advice

For example

what does she actually like?

Uh

The music of Daryl Braithwaite

Just give me a second, mate

Braithwaite

Yeah

Um

Chinese food

Chinese

And, um

Steve Carell movies?

I really did like 40-Year-Old Virgin

I'm just

I'm afraid she's gonna think I'm really boring

Then don't be

Look, don't talk about yourself too much Ask questions

Listen to the answers

-Listen -Make jokes

-Jokes -Have fun

-Fun -Yeah

That's gold

-Where'd you get all this stuff? -My dad

Well, he was a very wise man

Catch you later

Wow

You look so lovely and

clean

Did you say, "Lovely and clean"?

I mean, most of the time, you're covered in grease

You should stop talking now

Yeah Yeah

Coming up!

Well, we tried

I've got an idea

Humongous Claw!

You didn't have an idea

You just looked around, saw the Humongous Claw,

and shouted, "The Humongous Claw!"

Absolutely

That doesn't mean it's not fun

Hey? I mean

it's a claw that's humongous

Please give it a go

Please

Hey, do you wanna go and see the new Steve Carell movie tonight?

That'd be great

It's playing up at the Orana Cinema

Okay

Then maybe

if you wanted to, we could go to the Jade Temple

Get some Chinese food

Oh, yeah, I love Chinese

Yeah

Are you singing a Daryl Braithwaite song?

-Yeah

I love Daryl

I'm a massive fan

-Really? -Yeah

You like Daryl Braithwaite?

Yeah

No

Not really

I've never heard of him Actually, that's not true

I committed it to memory

Oh, my God!

-Why would you do that? -I don't know

Someone told me that you liked him, so I thought I'd impress you

Look, why don't we do something that we'd both like to do?

So no Steve Carell, no Daryl Braithwaite, no Chinese restaurant,

no whatever else my son said that I'd like

Good thinking Rightie-o

Although I'd still like Chinese food Do you want to do that?

Oh, good Yeah, I'm dying for a dim sim

If you finish in the top three and you make it through to Nationals,

it's my first step towards becoming the next Leena Gade

Next who?

She's the first woman to engineer a car that won Le Mans

I want to be her but in Formula 1

Cool

Well, we'd better win then, hey?

No pressure

My dad and I used to come here when I was little

We haven't been for a while

What's your dad like?

Uh

He died when I was 11

Cancer

Oh, man And here I am blabbering on

It's fine

What was he like?

Oh, he loved cars

We used to drive around on the weekends in his old car

I really miss that

I'm sorry This was supposed to be fun

Actually, this is the most fun-ness I've had in a long time

You know, R2-D2 speaks perfect English in the Star Wars movies,

but all we hear are the beeps,

because he loves to drop the f-bomb so much

- Oh, no - It's ruined

Who'd do this?

Them

That's my brother and his ass clown mates

Well, it was fun while it lasted

I can fix it

I don't know

We can do it

State Championships are tomorrow

So? We work all night and hit Dean where it hurts On the track

Personally, I'd rather hit him in the nuts, but

on the track works too

Okay Let's get to it

We need a new brake disc This one is toast

So we're screwed?

Not necessarily

My dad won't give me anything

if he finds out I'm working with a rival team

It's our only option

Look, I'm sure you'll do great in prison,

but my delicate constitution isn't suited to a life behind bars

No one's going to prison, Colin

We're just gonna fix what they destroyed

Now, keep your balaclavas on There's cameras everywhere

Okay, you're on watch

So if anyone approaches the building, you have to let us know

All right If I see anyone coming, I'll make a bird sound like

Ca-caw! Ca-caw!

Ca-caw! Ca-caw!

Okay Let's go on three

-One, two-- -We're up to two already?

Three!

Okay This isn't so bad

All right, Colin

You got this

I'll bet you're last!

Here comes the ankle tap! Oh!

Stupid joke, Dean

- Don't be such a baby -Jeez

Got it!

Excellent

- Dean, tell us the code - You're dreaming

Caw! Caw!

Ca-caw!

Ca-caw!

Quick, quick, quick! Down here!

Fire up the PlayStation I'll get some drinks

-Shotgun player one! -You're always player one It's my turn

I'm player one I'm the best

Hey, Dean Get me a lemonade

What's with that stupid bird?

Ca-caw! Ca-caw!

Ralph, three Ted, nothing You ain't gonna stop me

-'Cause I'm the best! - Coming right up

Ca-caw! Ca-caw!

What was that?

Who's there?

I've never felt so alive!

We stole a brake disc!

You stole my heart

That's the lamest thing you've ever said

And the best

It's amazing you don't get heartburn

Sorry I can't come today

Ah, it's all right I'll just get Colin to FaceTime you

I like to call it FT

Okay, yeah

-I've got to go, Mum -Okay

-Wish me luck -Luck

See you soon

-Don't do that scary sliding thing -Don't worry, Mum

You're clearly favorite to take the Under-16 State Championship

Are you confident of a win?

Yes, well, of course I would love to win State this year

But, at this point in time, I'm just taking it one day after the next

Let me give you a tip

Everybody takes it one day after the next

That's how time works

See you at the finish line

I'll be waiting for you

Out of the way

Mate, you've got to stand up to him, okay?

Show no fear

Hi I'm here to register for the Under-16s

The KA3 qualifying session ends

and title favorite Dean Zeta is in first place

In second it's

Aw, man 14th?

That sucks

Don't worry

I mean, look at these

You're gonna be a lot faster with some new tires on

I can't afford new ones

It's a good thing I brought a set then, isn't it?

Oh, man

Thanks

-Really, thank you This-- -Yeah, all right

Just focus on the race

Remember the rules of the overtake

Be patient

Analyze what the other drivers are doing

Take advantage of any mistake

And dance like nobody's watching

There's no dancing

But yeah Good

Okay

What?

Aren't you gonna give me a motivational speech?

Didn't I just do that?

I mean something rousingly inspirational about never giving up,

and doing your best, and the eye of the tiger and all that?

Oh, yeah

I mean, I could do all that It would feel a bit forced now

I mean, that stuff's got to be spontaneous

I attack until I lead I take no prisoners I never concede

Whoever said winning isn't everything is a fool who knows nothing

I am unbeatable

And they're racing!

Okay, kart racers,

let's see how fast you really are

After 20 laps of racing,

the top three finishers will advance to the National finals

Dean Zeta leads with daylight second

They're traveling at 100 km an hour a few millimeters above the ground

You make your own luck in a kart

And Jack Hooper slices through the field

Jack Hooper has a monster lunge down the back straight

and picks up three places!

Storming performance from the new boy from Busselton

He's hugging the inside of the track like it's his favorite granny

Remember the rules of the overtake

Be patient

Analyze what the other drivers are doing

Take advantage of any mistake

Hooper picks up another place

The top three can cruise home from here, and they'll be through to the Nationals

Hooper throws one up the inside and steals it

I'm coming for you, dude man

A beautifully-constructed pass, but also completely unnecessary

Hooper didn't get the memo about holding positions

He's here to race

Hooper tries to dive for first

Come on!

He muscles Jack Hooper wide

We're on the final lap

Come on, Jack!

Come on, move!

- Show no fear - Don't go on the outside

- Be patient -I am unbeatable

-He loses it!

Oh, no!

I told you you weren't ready

Get on the marbles, you will slide off

they qualify for the National Championships

Jack Hooper finished fourth and backwards over the finishing line

You were second and we were on our way to Nationals,

and instead you threw it away

by making a reckless move that wasted all our time and effort

Why would you do that?

I don't know

I just had to beat him

But you didn't

And you didn't even qualify, so you could beat him when it counted

You put yourself ahead of the team,

and I can't be with someone who does that

Not enough talent, hey, Patrick?

Looks like you backed the wrong horse, mate

Come on Help us load this in

Come on We're doing this for you Chop chop

What?

Well

if it wasn't for me

you'd still be in that caravan hiding from the world,

like a sad old man

You know, that was a bit harsh

Shut up, Colin

What would you know?

Hey Are you okay?

-I saw the accident -Don't want to talk about it

-Well, I do -Don't want to talk about it, Mum

-I don't think you should race anymore -You don't have to worry about it!

I didn't make it through to Nationals!

It's over!

Yes!

Go! Yes!

Finally

What?

Look after your mum when I'm gone, mate

Hey, Jack?

Jack?

- That's it, there There - All right

Jack?

Jack, you've got to talk to me

Why do you keep doing this?

It was our thing

What? What was?

Donuts

Me and Dad used to do them when we drove around

Sometimes, I just

miss him so much

So I take your car out and for a little while, I just

it's like he's

with me again

And I don't know how to fix it

Fix what?

The way I feel

Our lives without him

Some things you just can't fix

But this pain that you feel

it'll fade

I don't want it to

I mean, it's already happening, and I don't want it to

I don't want to forget him

Oh, we won't let that happen

I'm crying

Just let it out You'll feel better

Yeah, well, Dad said blokes only get three cries in life

Well, he was wrong

And if I have to choose between this

and you keeping everything inside

until you lose it and steal my car again

I choose this

Yeah

Oi, Colin!

Colin?

Colin!

Mate, I know you're there I can see your curtains twitching

I want to apologize

Okay Fair enough

I'm sorry

I know what I said was terrible, and I'm an idiot

And I don't deserve you as my bestie

-Hm -What is it?

The driver who came second at State had an illegal carburetor

He's been disqualified

And I've been promoted to third

Oh

And I can race at Nationals

Doesn't matter

Kart's wrecked

I managed to piss off everyone on my team,

and you don't want me to do it anyway

Well, if it's something that you really love

I guess I'll just have to be brave

Thanks

Just get your team back together

I don't know, Mum

I mean, I was terrible

I think they'll help

You know, girls kind of like it when you apologize

Yeah

Heard you lucked through to Nationals

And that means you're gonna need to fix your kart

And I'm not gonna let you steal any more of our parts

You do need to be punished for the last time you robbed us

Leave my bestie alone!

-Standing up to them Showing no fear -I love it!

-Does it mean you accept my apology? -Yeah, but don't do it again

All right

Stop!

Settle it on the track

You're dead, Hooper

Mandy

Come on, mate Let's go

I, um

I shouldn't have said what I said

Okay, it was stupid and

cruel

I was upset, and I took it out on you

And I hope you can forgive me

Well, I can,

because you did get me out of the caravan

You want to get out one more time?

What do you mean?

The driver who came second at State was disqualified

So

we're going to Nationals in his place

Oh

Listen, that accident of yours

was

unnerving

And I can't go through something like that again

Look, I'm trying to push it to the limit

I'm trying to be fearless

You don't want to be fearless

You don't want that Fear is good

Fear tells you when you push too far

Doesn't it separate the winners from everyone else?

No

It separates the dead men from those that get to go home

It's why I was reluctant to help you in the first place

Then why did you?

Because, honestly, when I saw you racing for the first time,

it was like I was watching myself

And I thought I could help you avoid some of the mistakes that I've made

What mistakes?

We were racing I was behind my teammate, and I

tried an overtake which was risky, stupid

And we clipped, and I sent him into the wall

Was it the guy in the photo?

Trying to be fearless on the track, I ended up killing

a man who was very important to me

So, honestly, I don't think I'm the right man to be teaching you--

You've taught me a lot

Let me show you at Nationals

No

Actually

I do want this life

But you've taught me a lot

Let me show you at Nationals

What was the first thing I ever told you?

The stuff about sinking the boat?

No, no, after that

Oh

That you don't like backchat?

No, before that

That I don't want a life in motor racing?

Yeah

When I said that

um, I may have been

talking about myself

All right? But, you know

things change

Come on We've got a kart to fix

Chop chop

This is the section where you backed down

You can't do that, son

See how you've been muscled wide by that kid?

You need to be more aggressive defending your position

come from all around the region

Loads of talent from all the young kids

I want to throw it to the principal and the band master

to tell us about what sort of music they're gonna play

Who are you, and what have you done with my son?

See? I do listen to you

Okay, well

I've got to bounce

-Wish me luck -Luck I'll see you there

Go get 'em, tiger

Rounding up the qualifying session from the KA3

and it's nationals title favorite Dean Zeta sitting on pole position

Ninth

Don't worry about it

Refocus

My steering was all over the shop

I couldn't turn in properly

I've got no idea what that is

I know someone who will

What is it?

Look

I know I was handed the keys to the

keys to the castle

and dropped them in the moat

Okay?

What are you talking about?

What I'm trying to say is

I'm sorry for what I did

If I could go back and change it

I would

But I can't

Our team needs you

I need you

Please come back

Please

You think adding that second please

will make the difference between me saying yes or no?

With water on the track, there won't be much grip,

so we'll see the karts slip and slide around the corners tonight

It should make for an epic race

So keeps missing the apexes, right?

It looked like he was driving a box of cats

We've got 20 minutes till the race

What do you think?

Can you fix it?

Of course I can It's me

What do you think you're doing?

I'm chief engineer of this kart

What?

What did you think I was gonna do?

Wait around, sorting bolts for people who don't appreciate me?

Would you do that?

Of course not

You never let me work on the kart We built this using my ideas

It cost one tenth of yours, and it's quick enough to beat it

Come on, Amanda

I'm not discussing this in front of strangers

They're not strangers, Dad

They're my team

"They're not strangers, Dad They're my team"

Boom That was epic

Thank you Now let's fix this kart and win this thing, yeah?

Dad!

I attack until I lead

I take no prisoners

I never concede

Whoever said winning isn't everything is a fool who knows nothing

I am unbeatable

Last call for entrants for the KA3 final

You're required in the marshaling area immediately

Are you ready?

Yeah, yeah

-Do your best -Okay

But don't be reckless

I'll try not to be, but I

I lose control and

this anger rises inside me

Yeah, it's called the red mist Keep it open

It has a name?

Yeah It happens to a lot of people

Believe me, if you want to have any success on the track

or in life

you're gonna have to learn how to control it

-Okay How do I do that? -Well

the only thing that ever worked for me

you take a deep breath

and count backwards from five

That's it?

Sometimes the simple things work best

Okay

Good to know

So are you gonna give me the motivational speech?

I mean, I think

we've established that's not my strong suit, all right, but

hopefully

this'll make up for it

Patrick

thank you

-Jack Hooper -Yeah, yeah

Go on, get to it You're burning

moonlight

Chop chop

Jack!

-Hey!

The last race of the night is the KA3 class final

A 20-lapper, at the end of which, we'll have a new national champion

Go, Jack!

Welcome to our television viewers as we go live around Australia

Come on, Jack

And they are off!

Let's go! Come on!

Dean Zeta leads by two kart lengths He looks like the man to beat tonight

-Come on -Come on, you've got this, Dean

Back in the pack and the elbows are out

Jack Hooper fires one up the inside

and picks up a place

Come on!

You've got it, buddy!

A monster lunge by Hooper and he grabs another place!

Be patient

Dean Zeta, showing all of his experience, and he skips away at the front

Hooper threads the needle through turn three

with a bucketload of understeer

Woo!

Analyze what the other drivers are doing

He's gained another place!

Take advantage of any mistake

Hooper gets a run and throws one down the inside

Go, Jack!

Hooper looks the only driver capable of challenging Zeta

This is the final lap

Here's a chance

Hooper thought about it, but Zeta-- Ooh! Slams the door

There was no way past

I am unbeatable

It's called the red mist

You have to learn how to control it

Five

Go get 'em, tiger

-Four - We can do it

Three

-Colin Faber -Jack

-I don't want to miss out on an adventure -Two

Be patient Chop chop

One

Show no fear, mate

For you, Dad

Zeta and Hooper, first and second on the road

There's just millimeters in it

Hooper's going around the outside!

This is dangerous There's absolutely no grip out there

Hooper cuts up the inside and slingshots out of the final corner!

Zeta's right with him

-But Hooper passes! -Woo!

-What a finish! -Yeah!

-Woo!

Jack Hooper is your new national champion

What a drive What a mega race

That was Australian motorsport at its finest

Dean Zeta finished second Jack Kagan was third,

rounding out the top three

Ah!

-I couldn't have done it without you -I know

Did you count back from five?

Yep

Pretty good, huh?

You did well

Patrick

Thank you

Thanks

You did great

You all did
