(Flash Review)
Before Lewis Hamilton there was Willy T. Tibbs. minus the 6 (and counting) championships. Ribbs, who can race any type of car super-fast is also super confident, doesn't mince words and knows what he wants and nothing stops him from his desires. In the late 70s and into the 80s he gets spotty racing opportunities and wherever he lands has exceptional success yet often the color of his skin limits his opportunities as well as limited funding options. While he has Formula 1 aspirations, his true goal is to make it into the Indy 500 and he would be the first African American to run in the 500. This was really well told and edited and paced. Ribbs is a hoot and a smart guy and if giving fair opportunities could have been a huge name.
