In 2014, the Saxon Didier Grams starts together with his Belgian teammate Marc Fissette on the narrow and highly challenging street circuit for the German Team Heidger Motorsport. The story of an underdog-team that competes like “David vs Goliath” against the big teams. At the end of every race remains the hope that all drivers return safe and sound from the biggest adventure of their life – in the style of modern gladiators.
