I too cringed while watching the trailer when it played up fiery crashes at the beginning. I enjoy most all forms of motorsports and like most fans, get tired of dispelling the belief that people only watch auto racing for the carnage. But the fact remains that many forms of motorsports were still pretty dangerous then. Many of the drivers of the era crossed over, driving in different series and types of cars - Indy and Nascar, Grand Prix and LeMans, and so on, and had seen many of their fellow drivers die during their careers. My point being that just because a driver died while competing at the Indy 500 or the Daytona 500, I'm sure it still affected the whole community of drivers and fans. Walt Hansgen died during testing for LeMans at LeMans, I'd say that counts as the event. I'd guess most of us that are into cars roll our eyes when Hollywood plays up the drama and takes license with the true story when they try to do a film on anything automotive, I imagine we'll just have to watch and see how this effort turned out. Adam Corolla is calling this a documentary, the story that originally got him interested was purchased by a different production and went nowhere, so I'm hoping it's more accurate and less fantasy. After all they could have done Fast and Furious - the GT 40 years.
