This documentary is about champion speedway driver Ivan Mauger, who powered and slid his motorbike around oval tracks to a record six individual world speedway titles, from 1968 to 1979. Interviews with Mauger and his family cover his long career, from his boy racer beginnings — he argues that in Spain the heroes are bullfighters, but in Christchurch they were speedway riders — to his Western Springs farewell, and a tribute from David Lange. Mauger's focus on winning comes through: "if you show me a good loser you show me someone who consistently loses".
