Fly on the wall DeBoer's!
Monday, January 15, 2018
The Racers Group driver Derek DeBoer and his family star in Fastlife, a brand new documentary-style 10-episode reality series streaming now on Amazon Prime.
Just one week after its debut on streaming platform Amazon Prime, Fastlife is quickly becoming a hit. The series, produced and shot by DeBoer’s filmmaker wife Brooke DeBoer, is a no-holds-barred, behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to become a winning race car driver in the world of competitive racing. From Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas to the Circuit de la Sarthe in Le Mans, France, Fastlife gives you an all-access pass on the track and off with the DeBoer family as Derek takes the wheel of TRG’s Aston Martin and Lamborghini race cars in Pirelli World Challenge and IMSA action. Derek's TRG SprintX teammate Jason Alexandridis is also featured.
Derek and Brooke teamed up to create Fastlife in 2014. “It’s pretty humbling to see our project come to fruition,” Derek says. “Brooke has really captured the moments and feeling of what we’re about and what it’s like to pursue our dreams and to be on the road and in the car with TRG.”
The series gets underway as DeBoer and TRG CEO Kevin Buckler meet in 2014. DeBoer tests for the team and the rest is, shall we say, history. “We have a rocking relationship with Derek and his family and over the past few years, Derek has really developed as a key driver for our team with wins and podiums… He’s finished every race for us he’s started and is a real pro both on and off the track,” Buckler says. “Brooke is always there with her camera filming every step of the way -- it’s like she’s a member of the team -- and it’s been great to see the results of all of that hard work, on the track and on the screen. We couldn’t be more thrilled.”
“Fastlife has already been renewed for a second season and I am in the process of going through hours of film now to create more episodes,” says filmmaker and racing road warrior Brooke DeBoer. “Our series is about Derek chasing his dreams and all of the ups and downs we’ve experienced as a family along the way. I hope our story inspires others to really go after their dreams, too.”
