Carpet Racers: A Crash Course explores a year long journey into the subculture of grown
men and women that make a living racing radio control cars… Professionally.
Whether at their local carpet tracks, or on the biggest and brightest of stages, these
competitors are almost exactly like those celebrated individuals that race NASCAR or
FORMULA ONE. Almost… the cars are the size of a shoebox, and no one has a clue who
these people are.Carpet Racers documents the ultimate victories and crushing defeats of
five of the top carpet racers in the world in their quest to be the best that they can be. The
film delves into the struggles they have to endure at home, and the sacrifices they must
make to race for a living.
