actually relate to Le Mans (which was made at Daytona, by the way) better. Most fans who never raced or never got above formula V (back in the day) prefer Grand Prix, as you do. Of course, those of us who like Le Mans still wish he had left out the goofy love story, but never mind.

Perhaps the difference makes a bit of sense, as McQueen was the only accomplished (and successful) Grand Prix driver amongst the stars. Whilst filming Le Mans, he actually placed 2nd at the Daytona 24 hrs . . . with a foot in a cast.
