In the April edition of VRJ, both the editor and Robert Daley independently complained about cinema’s treatment of motor racing. When I first began writing this column for VRJ, Sylvester Stallone was making “Driven” and I predicted it would be a clunker. That wasn’t clever; everyone I know in motor racing was resigned to the idea that it would bomb even before it was made. Why?
I think we knew that “Driven” would be a clunker because we all secretly know that you cannot make a movie about modern motor racing.
