Rick Knoop is a veteran American car racer, who even at the age of 60, is still a fierce car racer and is considered one of the top American endurance car racer. The documentary starts with the introduction of Rick Knoop and Julian Mann, the owner of Knoop Mann special. He shares the experience of working with Knoop and Busby garage and how they decided to take part in the Pikes Peak car race. They used a "Tribute" 1958 Lister Jaguar for this event. The Knoop Mann special is a tribute to the generations of the fathers of Knoop and Mann. The documentary further demonstrates the technical aspects of the up-gradation of Knoop-Mann Special. They upgraded with a new rear wing and a splitter for greater down-force, rocket front suspension, and lower the center of gravity to 4 inches. Besides this technical interior, they also modified the exterior of the car in navy blue color with silver and yellow stripes. They paid homage to the United States' navy seals. With Rick at the wheel, the Knoop-Mann Special drives to the height of 14100 feet and it took them 8 months to prepare for the big day. The course that drives up from 9000 feet to 14000 feet is one of the most dangerous courses in motor-sports which has seen its share of fatal accidents. Rick Knoop went through rigorous physical training to be able to drive to the top. Finally, all of the hard work paid off and Knoop did it in just 10 minutes and 17 seconds. The track has 152 turns and 12.4 miles in length. Knoop dedicated his victory to his father. It was truly an amazing achievement for Knoop Mann special. See less
