haven't seen it in years, forgot how amazing some of the cinematography was, that shot of the suspension working on the monza banking was awesome.

Quite poignant, the closing scene given today's sad news. Don't know if the film was scheduled or a slot-in?

Just saw it today and i'd say the cinematography is better than Le Mans. The plot building sections though? I tuned out for those bits.

The shot where the camera pans from the driver (with a gyro-gimbal mount) to face forward on the Monza banking did, literally, make my jaw drop.
