From the old Opel to the Manta bullet
That’s what the film is about: Because nothing came of his career as a racing driver, Bertie (Til Schweiger) runs a car repair shop with an attached go-kart track. After a chain of unfortunate events, the driver finds himself in financial difficulties – the only solution seems to be the cash prize of an upcoming car race. So Bertie sets himself the goal of tuning an old Opel into a fast Manta sled and winning the race.
