Plenty of other Oppos have vouched. Caught a late showing last night, and I am vouching, too. If you get a chance, see it. Great flick.

I liked it. One thing mostly done well was the racing scenes.

But; The Daytona scene was a bit gratuitous in that nobody weaves through other cars to pass them for the lead like that. And the stick shifter that sounds like a bank vault slamming shut on every shift was a bit overkill.  

And he downshifts to pass on the straight? Really? Try that at redline and the next thing you hear is the engine grenading..... Those were annoying details to me that I am sure the public eats up.....  

But LeMans had a pretty good feel. I did find it interesting how jumpy the rear tires were. I suspect hard tires of the day combined with hard springs made those cars skittery. There were very good scenes at LeMans.

It was amazing! Movies aren’t made like this anymore. It was like an “old movie”.

And honestly: I wanna see it win best picture. Absolutely beautiful movie!

I definitely feel that there was some overkill, but the audiences will love it.

We were playing “identify the race track” on some of the Le Mans scenes.  Road Atlanta was used a couple of times for sure.

Has anyone identified the kind of boom chicka song that plays a couple of times when Miles gets into cars?  I’ve gone through the sound track and a couple of the songs from the trailer and can’t find it.

It’s quite the earworm isn’t it.

This is the original. And here’s the Ford V Ferrari remix.

Funny you mentioned that, I subconsciously saw something that had me thinking I recognized a track I’d been to.

Yes, I am  waiting for the racing equivalent of Saving Private Ryan in a race movie..... This was good, but not that good...

Ah, I hadn’t found the remix. Found the original, but it didn’t seem quite right. Yeah, I like the remix a lot. Quality driving music there.
