Insight TV has partnered with the energy drink company Monster Energy to co-produce Jndia, The Fast Life, a documentary about the female drag-car racer Jndia Erbacher.

Jndia, The Fast Life follows the journey of the Switzerland-born 24-year-old as she works to make her dream of becoming the fastest female drag-car racer in Europe and in the world come true. Driving a Nitromethane-fed dragster that can reach speeds over 300 m.p.h., Erbacher’s speed levels are so high that it can take two parachutes to stop her car. The documentary is slated to premiere on Insight TV on August 10.

Frank le Mair, executive producer at Insight TV, said: “Through our partnership with Monster Energy, we have had the good fortune to identify exceptional emerging talent. Jnida Erbacher is another outstanding example. Her story is as contemporary as it is compelling, and with the incredible adrenaline-producing racing and exotic locations, which are all the more engaging in stunning 4K UHD, this is perhaps our most exciting co-production to date.”

Erbacher added: “I’m really excited for people to see this documentary because it is an authentic representation of what it’s like to be a young woman in the world of drag racing—a traditionally male-dominated sport. The show looks at how I train, race and recover, and viewers will see the challenges that I face every day in order to be at the very top of my game.”
