The race takes place in Pepe’s home town Andalusia, and incidentally on the date of marriage of his ex-girlfriend Carmen to his elder brother.
Pepe goes down the road of disappointment, even as he remembers how his career has not exactly turned out the way he would have wanted it to be.
With his sponsor having thoughts of dropping him, Pepe must drop all thoughts and make his final push for success.
