Plot Summary

Almost in breadth and depth of a documentary, this movie depicts an auto race during the 70s on the world's hardest endurance course: Le Mans in France. The race goes over 24 hours on 13.4 kilometers of cordoned country road. Every few hours the two drivers per car alternate - but it's still a challenge for concentration and material. In the focus is the duel between the German Stahler in Ferrari 512LM and the American Delaney in Gulf Team Porsche 917. Delaney is under extraordinary pressure, because the year before he caused a severe accident, in which his friend Lisa's husband was killed. Written by Tom Zoerner

Trivia Film driver David Piper lost his leg because of a deep cut caused during a crash. Brake fluid and other debris got into the cut, which caused an infection and the need to amputate the leg. He received a special thanks "for his sacrifice" at the end credits. See more »
Goofs During a night pit stop, you can see the breaths of McQueen and his manager, even though the race takes place in June. This may have been due to the movie shoot running well past schedule, ending in November. See more »

Quotes Lisa Belgetti: When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Michael Delaney: Well, it better be.
Lisa Belgetti: But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Michael Delaney: Lotta people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well. When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.
