The Young Racers

The Young Racers is a 1963 sports drama film directed by Roger Corman and starring Mark Damon, William Campbell, Luana Anders and Patrick Magee.

Joe also becomes involved in extramarital affairs, using his unwitting brother, Robert (R. Wright Campbell), to divert the suspicions of his wife, Sesia (Marie Versini).

Meanwhile, racer turned writer Steve Children (Mark Damon) arrives in Monte Carlo to meet his girl friend, Monique (Béatrice Altariba), and sees her in an emotional scene with Joe, with whom she has had an affair.

In a race at Aintree, the two men participate in a personal grudge match on the racetrack, but when Steve's car swerves wildly, Joe has a change of heart.

Corman wanted Campbell to base the script on an earlier screenplay he had written about a young American who gets involved with a great bullfighter in Spain.
