Crash and Burn chronicles the thrilling and turbulent career of Irish racing driver Tommy Byrne, who rose from a rough, working-class background to the cusp of Formula 1 in the 1980s. Directed by Seán Ó Cualáin, the film explores Byrne's undeniable talent and rebellious personality, which set him apart on the track but also clashed with the conservative and elite world of Formula 1. Byrne’s story is filled with highs and lows, from his dominance in lower racing categories to his brief, rocky stint in Formula 1 and subsequent struggles. The documentary combines interviews, archival footage, and personal insights to portray the complexities of Byrne’s character and his “what could have been” legacy in motorsport.

If you like motor racing you HAVE to watch this movie. 9/10 Tommy Byrne was obviously an outstanding driver - more wins than Ayrton Senna who was on the same team immediately below him coming through the ranks. An Irishman with a huge chip on his shoulder that wouldn't conform to the snobs in F1 - he didn't have a chance, but he DID get plenty of chances. Too bad he didn't get a chance to race in the big time 'cause he probably would have been a World Champion.
