Tuesday, 5 February 2013 00:00

Last night saw the star-studded world premiere of the new MGP documentary Grand Prix Racer.

The film was made by Douglas-based Greenlight Television and had its debut screening at the Villa Marina.

It follows the trials and tribulations of last year's Manx Grand Prix with the star of the film being newcomer Kamil Holen.

A slightly shortened version of the film is on ITV4 tonight at 8pm.

Chairman of the Manx Motorcycle Club, Harvey Gartland, says there is something in the programme to appeal to everybody, not just motorsport fans.
