Hopkins still rides for Suzuki.

McCoy did some testing for Ilmor in the last few races of the season, then got dumped...

it's a shame what crashes did to him

Politics... the powers that be allgedly provided Ilmor with an incentive to have a British rider in their team.

McCoy got dumped in favour of McWilliams (who should have retired well before now).

You probably can't hire the DVD's/video's, but i'm sure if you do a search, you'll be able to find a heap that you can hire.

Made by the same producer/director as Faster, you can also get:
Faster and Faster
The Doctor, the Tornado and the Kentucky Kid
