Details

This film is about one of the toughest enduro races: Le Mans in France. The race lasts 24 hours on a 14.5 km track, normal road that is closed for this occasion. Every few hours, the two drivers per car alternate, but it remains a challenge to keep the concentration and the material intact. The focus of this film is the duel between the German Stahler in a Ferrari 512LM and the American Delaney in a Gulf Team Porsche 917. Delany is under high pressure after causing a serious accident in the previous year in which his friend, the man from Lisa, was killed. The film was shot in Panavision, this is not a film studio. There is a 35mm version and a 70mm version. Michel Legrand was also the musical (soundtrack) director. Famous racing drivers rode the cars, including: Jacky Ickx. Steve McQueen also drove himself, as he did in other films, such as Bullit and The Great Escape.
