Yep, very excited about this movie. :dance:
Howard really chose an interesting period in F1 racing. The crusade for safety was in full swing, but there was pushback at the time to keep the traditional dangers in place. They were still using the Nordschleife, but by the time I got to see any races at the 'Ring (1981, I guess it was), the Nordschleife was considered too dangerous for racing, and wasn't used any more. The cars were still deathtraps, and this was still a little ahead of the ground effects revolution.
