Justin Wilson Documentary
On the 10th anniversary of losing an incredible racer, father, husband
and friend, Marshall Pruett and CoForce are proud to announce “Bad Ass Wilson: His Life, His Legacy”
documentary film that will bring the story of Justin Wilson to a wider audience.
The long-form production will exhibit CoForce’s capabilities and artistry in film-based storytelling, and is being made with the full support of the Wilson family, including Stefan Wilson, Justin’s younger brother
and fellow IndyCar racer.
“It’s hard to believe that it’s been 10 years since we lost Justin,” said Wilson, who serves as a producer on the project. “It’s super heartwarming to see that all these years later, he’s being remembered and celebrated by so many who knew him. Having seen some of the behind the scenes clips of the film, I think his fans are going to really enjoy it, and it gives the new generation of motorsport fans, those who didn’t know him, a chance to see what made him a fan favorite.”
INDYCAR has partnered with the production and will look to promote and distribute the documentary via the series’ digital platforms. The official premiere date of “Bad Ass Wilson: His Life, His Legacy” will be announced at a later time.
“No matter what happened on track, Justin’s fellow drivers respected him for his excellent race craft and tremendous competitive spirit,” INDYCAR President J. Douglas Boles said. “He was always a leader in the paddock and an invaluable source of advice and wisdom among his fellow competitors. INDYCAR looks forward to joining forces with Marshall and CoForce to share this important story with our fans and a wider audience across the globe.”
A new and dedicated site for the documentary, BadAssWilson.com, has been established as the long-term home of the film, which will include extras and additional news throughout the progression of the film’s production.
Updates and promotional materials showcasing the film’s production status, including an in-person debut event, will be published via the CoForce (@coforcecrew) social media channels.
Autoracing1 asked if the new chassis which will be coming in 2027 or 2028 would be named after Wilson similar to the DW12 being named after Dan Wheldon and was told no. I think they should call it BAW2? for Bad Ass Wilson.
