A fan of motor sport, started watching F1 around late 70s, but i have no recollection of Tommy Byrne. I came away from the documentary feeling more annoyed with the direction the documentary took and the attitude of Tommy. I suppose, if Tommy still has feeling of resentment towards a corporate sport that shunned him because of his off track actions, then I think he has to stop, take a breath and look at himself. I believe he does admit, only slightly, that he wasn't the ideal 'Star' racing driver, that sponsors would rush to back, but that is the nature of the sport, whether we like it or not. My final feelings after watching the credits, were one of disappointment, that another Irish talent (George Best, Alex Higgins), wasn't fully realised because of extra curricular activities and I would have loved Tommy to show the younger generation, that a wasted talent is not something you should blame on others. Still an enjoyable, if uninspiring watch.
