The driving scenes aren't any better or more realistic than the foolishness in the fast and furious movies. You can't yell at other drivers, and everyone is trying to "out brake" (what they mean is "brake later than") everyone else on every turn. That's just part of driving a good lap. More time on the throttle and less time on the brakes means a faster lap.

The movie is stylish, good clothes, cool music, but there's a perfectly good documentary about the same events called "The 24-Hour War." All those people they talk about in this movie are actually IN the documentary. It's on Netflix. Hell, I had dinner with David Hobbs at the Chattanooga Motor Car Festival last fall, and I also saw Bill Elliott there. Those are real people who really risked their lives for the love of racing, not some actors playing at it.

If you prefer to see the Hollywood version of the world, that's your decision. But I prefer real life or real fiction. This "biopic" nonsense is merely the appearance of art depicting the appearance of reality. Some would say the shadows of reality seen on the wall of a cave. I love a good story as much as the next guy, but if it's real, I'd like to hear it from the guys who lived it, not someone (like me) who only wished he'd lived it.
