Netflix has announced a highly anticipated biopic on the life of motorcycle racing icon Wayne Rainey, titled “Racing Against Time.” The film will commemorate Rainey’s remarkable career and his courageous journey following a life-altering accident.

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker, Stephen Hopkins, the movie will star Chris Evans as Rainey, with production set to begin in early 2025. “Wayne’s story embodies resilience, determination, and passion,” said Hopkins. “We’re honored to bring his inspiring tale to the screen.”

Rainey, a three-time World Champion, dominated motorcycle racing in the 1980s and 1990s. His career was cut short after a devastating crash in 1993 left him paralyzed from the chest down.

The film will explore Rainey’s rise to fame, his struggles with adversity, and his unwavering dedication to the sport. “I’m thrilled to see my story told,” Rainey said. “This film will showcase the triumphs and challenges of my life, both on and off the track.”

“Racing Against Time” is slated for release in late 2025, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of Rainey’s retirement. The biopic promises to captivate audiences with its uplifting portrayal of a true sports legend.
