- This is a fine tune upscale render of the scene from the movie with the film grain removed.
Sorry the youtube encoding is such shit that it reintroduces compression artefacting. I recommend using a third party downloader to retrieve the source file (should be approx. 2.06 GB) and watch it natively on your PC. The quality is just stellar.
I just love to good old days of auto racing. We've lost something wonderful over the years. Thanks for reminding us how great it was.
The secret of the masterful filmmaking of this movie, is that the protagonists are the machines.
You can almost smell the burning gasoline...early in the morning.
That's when you do things with passion.
The movies' Grand Prix and Le Mans remain the finest racing films ever put to celluloid. I think that is because there is zero CGI involved, as in Ford vs Ferrari and the film Ferrari. Just raw racing. The plot lines are crap - but the racing is sincere. The real thing.
Everything else is just waiting!
Racing is life...
McQueen wanted this to only be about racing, the Studio forced him to put in that back story with him and the girl friend of another racer.
You might be interested to know that the camera car capturing the real live race action was an official entrant. It was stopping more often for film reloading. At one point later in the race the team realised they could win their class if they only stopped when needing fuel. They stuck to their filming job.
If I’m not mistaken, piloted by Jackie Stewart..?
Saw this multiple times in the theatre--great movie!
For those not in the know Steve McQueen's parts were filmed in the car at speed but during practice not the race. He did come very close to winning the 12 Hours of Sebring that year finishing second after leading during the closing laps( I was there). Je was driving a Porsche 908 and was offered a factory bdrive for this LeMans race. As he was in the process bof filming the insurance underwriters fir the film tefuesd to let him race.
McQueen as a racing driver was the real deal
@@sandynahar7667he wasn’t - that Sebring race was all his Co-driver Mario Andretti’s doing, as McQueen was nursing an off-road injury and had put them 2 laps down

Andretti was the winner in NART Ferrari, and he drove the hell out of it in the final stint to overtake McQueen’s Porsche.
Peter Revson was the pro who partnered McQueen on that drive.
Didn’t need music the engine sounds were the best soundtrack
Yes! Especially the Porsche V12 flat engines sounded absolutely glorious. Wish that today`s race cars still would sound like them.
The doppler effect of the 917 engine sound is pure music.
no tech just raw adrenaline
The 917 was insane
Shame Pedro Rodriguez never won Le Mans, He won everything else.
That 4 second clip at 3:59 of the long tail 917 coming at the camera will always be my favorite scene in a racing movie.

Actual real raw unfiltered speed.
No amount of trick camera work, editing or CG of today could ever replicate it.
You can only get this by being there and capture it while its happening.
Absolute cream of the crop this movie.
Awesome movie!
The Camera car was entered under Solar Racing. If it was an official entry it would have finished 6th.
レースを良く解っている名シーン。後にエルフモトやトヨタのGT−ONEをデザインしたアンドレア・コンタンツがレーサーとして出演（出場）してますね。
Steve McQueen, a car racer!
Good Movie, Bad Ending... Steve McQueen Lost the Race. May He R.I.P.
Steve was not meant to win the race he did as his team manager asked. To make sure the team won so he pissed his team mate and secured a first and second place for the team.

James garner
No James Garner was not in this movie. He was in Grand Prix.
Helluva guy, but that's Grand Prix
They run to the cars
They stopped running to the cars in 1970 for safety reasons. This was filmed at the 1970 race. The 12 Hours of Sebring also stopped the run to the cars in 1970 as per FIA regulations.
Running to the cars: some drivers would try to put on belts while driving the first lap. I think the idea of being in the car, engine off, at flag drop is good and should return. Starting the car is part of racing.
They stopped that because it was dangerous as fuck. Finally Jacky Ickx calmly walked to his car, fastened himself in and still won the race.
The few seconds in a 24 race don't matter.
