Driven

Rookie race-car driver Jimmy Bly faces challenges in maintaining his focus, leading to a notable decline in his race rankings. The pressure from his ambitious brother, Demille, amplifies his struggles, putting his career at risk.

As Jimmy navigates his professional setbacks, he finds himself entangled in a complicated romance with Sophia, the girlfriend of his rival, Beau Brandenburg. This relationship adds another layer of stress, complicating his racing endeavors.

Car owner Carl Henry decides to take action by recruiting legendary former racing star Joe Tanto to mentor Jimmy. Tanto's goal is to earn Jimmy's trust and help him rediscover his passion for racing amid the chaos around him.

Through a series of insightful coaching sessions, Joe Tanto begins to break through Jimmy's mental barriers. He helps Jimmy reconnect with his love for driving and escape the detrimental influence of his corporate environment.

Just as Jimmy seems to find his footing, his brother Demille betrays him by signing Beau Brandenburg as a client. This betrayal ignites a fierce determination in Jimmy to prove himself and reclaim his former glory.

In a dramatic turn of events, Jimmy secures victory in the season's final race, propelling him to the world champion title. This achievement revitalizes his career and confirms the effectiveness of Tanto's mentorship.

As Jimmy struggles with mounting errors during races, Demille's focus on lucrative endorsements distracts him from actual racing. Meanwhile, Brandenburg's anger towards Jimmy leads to his engagement with Sophia being threatened.

Joe Tanto finds himself dealing with personal complications as he realizes that his ex-wife, Cathy, is now married to Memo Moreno, Bly's teammate. Despite the complicated history, they maintain a friendly relationship.

During a crucial comeback race, Jimmy struggles to maintain his lead over Brandenburg. A critical pit stop decision by Joe allows Jimmy to triumph, showcasing Tanto's impressive coaching skills.

As tensions arise, Demille expresses disdain for Joe's influence over Jimmy, causing frictions within the team. At the same time, Brandenburg reconciles with Sophia, which further distracts Jimmy during racing events.

At a Chicago gala where next year's cars are showcased, Brandenburg's return of the engagement ring to Sophia disturbs Jimmy profoundly. In an impulsive act of frustration, Jimmy races an unauthorized vehicle through the streets.

In a critical race in Germany, Jimmy faces a life-threatening situation as a horrific crash occurs due to Memo's defiance of Carl's orders. This incident leads to both Jimmy and Brandenburg putting their rivalry aside to rescue Memo.

The aftermath of the crash brings Jimmy and Brandenburg together as they work to help their teammate Memo, who is hospitalized. This act of camaraderie marks a significant shift in their rivalry.

In an electrifying final race in Detroit, both Jimmy and Brandenburg compete fiercely for the championship title. Fueled by Joe's motivational words, Jimmy edges out Brandenburg by mere inches, securing his victory and the title.

After his hard-fought success, Jimmy, Joe, and Brandenburg unite on the podium to celebrate their achievements. This moment signifies the newfound respect and camaraderie developed among the rivals throughout the season.
