This will be a special event to celebrate the film’s release and will see the New Zealand film making team Director Bryn Evans, Producers Matthew Metcalfe (McLaren) and Fraser Brown (McLaren) reunited with Scott and Emma.

Producer Matthew Metcalfe comments, “winning a fifth championship is an amazing accomplishment for Scott and we are delighted that he, and wife Emma, will return to New Zealand for the premiere to celebrate a story of Kiwi ‘can do’ and determination.”

Rialto are also thrilled to share the official New Zealand film trailer.

Sales manager Kevin Gordon comments “We’re privileged to be able to bring Scott’s story to New Zealand cinemas, this will be a very special film that is a must see on the big screen”.

Born Racer: The Scott Dixon Story will premiere at Sylvia Park on October 24, followed by the official New Zealand release on October 25.

Born Racer is a stunning, cinematic documentary that takes viewers deep inside the world of INDYCAR with unprecedented access to New Zealand born five-time INDYCAR series champion Scott Dixon, his family, and his team at Chip Ganassi Racing.

It poses a simple question, what does it really take to keep winning in the world's most dangerous motor sport? The question may be simple, but the answer is most definitely not.

Central to the experience is the disarmingly portrait of the 'Iceman' himself, one of the world's most respected, yet enigmatic, athletes. Watching the film, we're literally in the cockpit with Scott as he faces his 20th all-consuming season; we get to experience first-hand what sets this man apart from the rest of us, and even from those closest to his heart.

Born Racer: The Scott Dixon Story includes an action-packed, yet highly intimate & intense blend of close observational filming plus never seen before spectacular, cutting edge racing footage exploring exactly what it takes to compete in the world’s fastest and most challenging racing series.
