I am really looking forward to the release of "Ferrari". The trailer looks pretty good and I am sure the movie will also be a really good one.

Looking forward too, here. Not sure it will be a good one but really don't care that much. Sure Adam Driver is a great actor but the relationship with Enzo is more Hollywood-style than credible imo. Not so many occasions to watch something related to this kind of stuff. Will watch.

The Brawn series on Disney + is excellent . It's hosted by Keanu Reeves , who makes every question sound absurdly portentous , but the interviews and archive stuff with everyone from Button via Barrichello to Brawn Fry to Ecclestone* and Di Montezemolo are compelling .

* BCE treats us to his usual gnomic nonsense about dictators etc

"Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend" has been panned by all sorts of critics.

Nabu, did you ever watch the french crappy "Overdrive"? https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5pmz5g
If you show some interest in Bugatti's, this one could be better (caution: german advert…) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zT6sB_Uc_g Note: nice MG B at 36".

[NaBUru38]

I haven't, and neither have I watched Grand Prix, Le Mans, Winning, Cannonball, The Great Race or older films.

[Gerard C]

My opinion only: Grand Prix is a timewarp, Le Mans by McQueen is an absolute reference. OK, if you don't appreciate some romance added to hot abestos brake pads smell and castor oil, don't watch!

Le Mans is a simply terrible film , redeemed only by some nice footage of 512s and 917s . Grand Prix is an enjoyable watch , even though the cars were largely tarted up F3 cars and it was fun spotting the real racing drivers in it.

The Ford v Ferrari film was enjoyable, but the on track stuff was silly. And it seems to have created a small army of Ken Miles fans , convinced he was robbed of victory by a conspiracy, rather than just being collateral damage to Ford's publicity stunt. Wonder how many Miles fans had even heard of him before the film ?

Fantastic documentary (full film) of Michael Fassbender's Le Mans.

One for Gerard C , real short film about a no holds barred drive through Paris . He has probably seen it , might have even been part of it .
Completely mad but real , unlike a lot of the " Hollywood " style car movies .

Not sure if it can been linked to or even watched now as it was so " UNWOKE " compared to todays stuff .

Came across this trailer at Youtube:

Race For Glory: Audi Vs Lancia

Feel the thrill of the road with this action-packed sports drama inspired by true events. Daniel Brühl (The King’s Man) and Riccardo Scamarcio (A Haunting in Venice) star in a true David vs. Goliath story spotlighting the intense rivalry between Germany (Audi) and Italy (Lancia) at the 1983 Rally World Championships. Against all odds, Lancia battles to regain its former glory with an unbeatable combination of bold innovation and extraordinary courage.

Not quite sure about health and safety , but a rough count shows him going through nearly 20 RED traffic lights at high speed .
If you watch till the end , it looks like he was on a "Promise " , so perhaps it was all worth it .


Did see the trailer for " Race For Glory " a while ago , and it seemed to say the film is out in early Jan .

Race For Glory is now released , just watched it on computer and it is not bad at all .

[Adam43]

Yeah, I’ve had a copy for years. I “recreated” it through Milton Keynes (!) a few years back with a Go Pro. While it was in a ‘60s car which sounded great I overplayed the Rendezvous sound. It is rumored was done for the original and the actual car was a fast Merc.

Unlike the original, and because I am woke, I did speed my version up and edited it to remove how long I had to stop at a red light (I think I only got one).

[NaBUru38]

There's an upcoming documentary film about Uruguayan rally driver Gustavo Trelles. He was a four-time FIA Group N champion. The Wikipedia photos are mine

Producers say that they collected eons of footage, I wish they had done a series instead.
