I put off watching this as I'm not that interested in cars but the reviews were so high I eventually felt like I had to and it was much, much better than I thought it would be. The direction and epic scale of the movie really bring to life a captivating story that amazingly seems to be mostly true. For me it's a little long (2h 32m) but the driving sequences are spectacular and the human element keeps the movie interesting even if it feel's like real life has been smoothed out quite a bit with broad brushstrokes to keep things black and white.
