there are excellent movies about the SPORT of racing
You are kidding right?
Most are clichéd rubbish.
Driven
is simply appalling. APPALLING!!
Le Mans
is by far the best motor racing film ever made but that's not really saying much. It was ruined by studio intervention and probably wouldn't have been much even if McQueen had gotten his way.
Should give a shout out to
Grand Prix
(Frankenheimer, 1966). More racing clichés than you can shake a stick at - the playboy Italian, the toffy Brit, etc etc. But some of the footage is extraordinary, particularly of those beautiful long gone European road circuits, and with little cameos from the likes of Graham Hill, Jimmy Clark, etc. A must-see for any racing fan.
Personally I consider F1 the Golf of the racing world, takes little physique to do
I'm enthused by your stance against idiots who think motor racing isn't a sport but you've just destroyed all credibilty for yourself. You need to get an education. F1 is extremely demanding physically, they are among the fittest athletes in the world, with drivers regularly pulling 5gs. Any unfit (i.e. normal) human being forced to go through an F1 race simulation would be in bed for 2 weeks

Most apoligetically I deleted that statement about F1, I personally don't think that of the series, infact it is my ultimate dream to drive an F1 car. The idividual that edited my post was my little brother and he has a thing for Rally Racing over F1, and absolutly loves to do that sort of stuff to me. I watched 5th Gear a couple years back and watch "Tiff" drive an F1 car and the riggers that he had to go through just to withstand the g-forces from a turn were rediculous. I again apologize for the idiot I call a brother lol.

Another shout for Grand Prix. A great film which highlights the dangers of racing in those days well.
Mark Neales films about MotoGP and Grand Prix bike racing are really good too. (Faster, Fastest and Hitting the Apex).
Both bike and car racers are incredible athletes and Mark Neales films show just how dangerous it can get. -

The only decent racing movie you listed was Lemans, and even that has major flaws, but Driven and the rest above Grand Prix?

DAYS OF THUNDER was seriously overrated IMO and despite the fact that they were a couple at the time, the chemistry between Cruise and Kidman in that film was non-existent. Of course, that changed when they did EYES WIDE SHUT, where they had MAD chemistry.
