What make it so awesome is that Simulation is probably an overstatement, they used real race cars, very few green screens and kept the sound, its glorious. Buy, beg, borrow or steal it any way you can, well worth a watch.

Great pics Steve
I've never done a search on this movie but seeing the camera on what looks like a stripped Le Mans car it all makes sense.
The action sequences are at a reasonable speed and it's beautifully shot for it's time.
Speaking of which, have you ever seen "On the beach"?
Shot in Victoria in the fifties.
End of the world scenario where racers compete in the "Last" Grand Prix in the world at What I think is supposed to ne Phillip Island.
The most amazing crashes! Cant believe it was not real and there were not people getting killed.
May have been real footage
