A young girl from rural Ireland dreams of one day becoming a champion race car driver, and jumps at the opportunity to compete in a local go-cart race despite the fact that the odds seem to be stacked against her. Mary (Niamh McGirr) may only be 11 years old, but she's got the spirit of a seasoned racecar driver. She lives on a County Antrim farm with her bickering parents, who are too distracted by personal and financial issues to recognize their daughter's true passion. One day, a wealthy farmer announces he'll be staging a go-cart race and encourages the local children to participate, Mary sees it as her big chance to hone her skills behind the wheel. Unfortunately for Mary, competing in the race at all is going to be an uphill challenge; her parents are dead set against it, and the kids at school tease her for wanting to make a name for herself in such a traditionally male-dominated sport. But Mary isn't one to give up without a fight, and perhaps with a little help from her best friend Tom she'll be able to build a car that will carry her across the finish line faster than anyone else.

Colm Meaney, Susan Lynch, Niamh McGirr. Run time: 84 mins. Originally released: 2009. Language: English. Factory Sealed Brand New DVD In this heart-warming family drama set in a poor rural community in Northern Ireland, eleven-year-old Mary loves racing and hopes to become a race car driver one day. When a rich local farmer announces a Championship Go-Kart Race, Mary is eager to enter, but everywhere she turns, she finds obstacles in her path. With no money, no help from her father (Colm Meaney-Law Abiding Citizen, Kings) and only her fiery determination to build a go-kart in time for the race, Mary must cope with her mother's (Susan Lynch-Elizabeth: The Golden Age) growing discontent, while braving torment from her peers for daring to compete in a male-dominated sport.
