What's the Story?

Elena Dionisi (Giulia Michelini) has fallen from MOTORVALLEY grace in her father's car racing dynasty. When he dies, her brother takes over and ices her out of the family business. Blu Venturi (Caterina Forza,) a scrappy driver, is out on conditional release from prison. She'll do anything to get on the track and behind the wheel, and her antics catch Elena's eye. Deciding to form her own race team, Elena approaches Blu and Arturo (Luca Argentero,) a disgruntled ex-driver in serious debt. Begrudgingly, the trio build a team of "fallen all-stars." But family drama, secrets, and betrayal might tangle their shot at redemption in the Italian Gran Turismo.

This series never hits the brakes when it comes to its eye-catching driving sequences. Motorvalley moves at breakneck speed with its action and its drama. The narrative is straightforward, and the characters and their chemistry are entertaining to watch. The language, smoking, and violence make this suitable for older teens.
