Ahhh, yesh - that is UNTIL the last race.  When the filming started - the 
actors were treated rather poorly as their predecessors on the celluloid 
race tracks (The Green Helmet et all) had made a hash of the sport - but as 
the movie progressed and egos flared - the real drivers chimed in - HEY, how 
do WE get in this thing?  And there you have the big rain dance discussion 
scene just before the Intermission.

And then the last race, ah yes - the fabulous H-16 on song.  Theory being 
that per cubic engine size, the greater the square piston area the greater 
the horse power.  Up to a point.  Ah well, the H-16 sure was interesting. 
Wonder what ever happened to it.

Yeah, GP, the movie.  As with Bullitt - GP marks a motor filming high 
point - oh not the fru fru - the actual filming.
