Fast and Fearless tells the riveting true story of Hellé Nice, a fearless French race car driver who shattered gender barriers in the 1920s and ’30s to become one of the most celebrated figures in motorsport. Born Mariette Hélène Delangle, she rose from Paris cabaret star to international racing sensation, earning the title “The Queen of Speed” for her daring performances on the track. Shunned and forgotten, Hellé died in obscurity in 1984. Today, her legacy is being rediscovered. This documentary reclaims her story, celebrating a woman whose courage and skill broke barriers—and who deserves her rightful place in racing history.
