Grand Prix (1966)<\/h3>\n

Grand Prix<\/a>\u00a0remains to be one of the best films today. It tells a story of American driver Peter Aron, who had a romantic relationship with an ex-teammate’s wife. What makes the movie great is the racing skills displayed in the film.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Le Mans (1971)<\/h3>\n

The film has similar characteristics to Grand Prix, where it has a loose plotline. In the movie, Steve McQueen does not say a word until thirty-six minutes into the film. Despite that,\u00a0Le Mans<\/a>\u00a0is more than made up for thanks to the incredible race footage and the realistic stunts. To make it more realistic, one of the drivers tragically loses the lower part of his leg while filming one of the crashe scenes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Days of Thunder (1990)<\/h3>\n

When you talk of high speed, think of Tom cruise. His first day’s experience behind the wheel was during the filming of the movie in 1990. The American star plays the role of a young driver looking for success in NASCAR. Some of the movie critics describe\u00a0Days of Thunder<\/a>\u00a0as a top gun on the wheels. Tom Cruise drove the Red Bull Racing show car back in 2011.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Senna (2010)<\/h3>\n

Ayrton Senna<\/a>‘s story was perfect for the silver screen because of the charismatic and successful career, which ended in tragedy. The movie documents the occupation of the three times Formula One champion formed from his early days at the karting track to his death at the San Marino Grand Prix in 1994. The film received a high rating of ninety-two percent score on the film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Some of the awards won .by the film includes two BAFTAs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rush (2013)<\/h3>\n

The film tells the story of Ferrari’s\u00a0Niki Lauda<\/a>\u00a0and McLaren’s James hunt, as two rivals were fighting it out in the Formula One World Championship in 1976. Before Rush, the last time Hollywood had a motor racing film was Sylvester Stallone’s melodramatic Driven. The movie star Ron Howard’s Rush received equal high marks from movie fanatics and Formula One fans.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Williams (2017)<\/h3>\n

The movie is about Formula One legend, frank Williams, who created one of Formula One’s most enduring teams. Williams has a lot of drama to explore. The director of the movie tells a story of Williams’s love for racing at a young age. He has lived at high speed and scarred by tragedy.
