The award winning actor and MotoGP superfan has produced and narrated a new documentary ‘Hitting The Apex’, due to be premiered on August 28 at Silverstone’s Moto GP.

Pitt continues: “This is the story of six fighters, six of the fastest men of all time” as the film delves into the high-octane rivalry between Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo.
