At the Gran Premio d’Italia Alice, the public saw the first phase of the ‘Velocity’ project when Kenny Roberts Jr took to the track with his bike sporting a brand new sponsor, Venture Petroleum.
However the sponsor is fictitious and is all part of the new movie script.
It is just a first stage of filming of Velocity, the first dramatic feature movie to be granted permission to use MotoGP as its backdrop.
With the backing of MotoGP commercial rights-holders Dorna Sports, the film will feature real race footage from the 2006 season, with the aim being for the release date to occur in Spring 2007 after further filming at locations around the world.
