OTOH, the 'Hollywood treatment' broadens the appeal; my girlfriend,
who doesn't have a gearhead strand in her DNA enjoyed the movie
(which makes for a more pleasant after-movie experience). I also
liked that they made Enzo Ferarri look like a jackass which, from
all I've heard, he was. I'm sure most of us on this list would
prefer a technical documentary on exactly how the cars were
designed, built, tuned and driven but then you'd have an audience of
maybe a couple thousand people.<br>

sound realistic, but I've never driven a GT40 so who knows.<br>
