FEW speedway riders have left such an impression in a few short years as Darcy Ward, the outrageously talented Australian whose career was cut short by injury.
“World Championship status was a no-brainer for him,” according to four-time winner Greg Hancock, one of a cast list of big names featured.
World champions Tony Rickardsson, Ivan Mauger, Ole Olsen, Jason Crump, Bruce Penhall, Chris Holder, Gary Havelock and Michael Lee are also contributors, along with family members, sponsors, speedway personalities, officials and riders.
Eye-opening race footage traces his journey from junior competition to Grand Prix celebrity, with observations and analysis from Darcy himself, extensively covering his Speedway GP, British, Polish and Swedish exploits – the highs and lows, his star profile, headlines of sparkling success and challenging controversy, and the crash which changed his life and affected so many.
Now Darcy and his wife Lizzie have taken on the speedway promoting rights in his native Brisbane, using all their endeavours to unearth the next stream of talented Australian youngsters.
This inspiring DVD is produced by renowned media professionals Martin Rogers and Mike Bennett.
