That plot may be as simple as those from "Need For Speed", the movie or the game, or any "Fast And The Furious" film.  However, in it's 2 minute 30 second running time, it squeezes in a much rubber-burning, tire-squealing, smoke-billowing, engine-growling fun that some movies with much larger budgets wish they had.
