Wikipedia
Faster
Faster is a song by English rock musician George Harrison from his self-titled 1979 studio album. The song was inspired by Harrison's year away from music-making in 1977, during which he travelled with the Formula 1 World Championship, and by his friendship with racecar drivers such as Jackie Stewart and Niki Lauda. Although equally applicable to other professions, the lyrics address the difficulties of achieving and maintaining success in the field of motorsport, particularly Formula 1. In Britain, "Faster" was issued as the third single from George Harrison, and was available on a picture disc depicting the faces of several past world champion drivers. The single raised funds for a cancer fund set up following the death of Swedish driver Gunnar Nilsson in 1978, and also commemorated Nilsson's countryman Ronnie Peterson, who died as a result of injuries sustained during the 1978 Italian Grand Prix. Harrison made a video of the song, during which he performs the track in the back of a car chauffeured by Jackie Stewart.
