Race 1 (2021)
Race 1 is streaming in Malaysia on Lionsgate Play.
The verdict
Race 1 stayed short of the ratings needed to call this Chinese film either way. The 105-minute runtime sits in the comfortable middle. In Malaysia you can stream it on Lionsgate Play.
Should you spend 1h 45m on it?
1h 45m of Chinese action, leaning drama. Standard length — a normal evening's watch, nothing to plan around.

Story
The once dominating LIONS team gradually declined after the death of team leader Lao Shen. Unwilling to retire, Li Yi Fei and his new partner-the first female driver in league history, Lu Li li did not get along, and the two did not give in to each other, which made the team's situation worse. The second-generation new team leader, Ah Shen, who is not optimistic, has to pin his hopes on Du Jie Ke, an otaku who can only play simulator racing.
