The movie didn't " portray " 1970....much of the footage was of the actual 1970 race !
Like Grand Prix, the cost logistics and insurance restrictions would prevent a remake involving
the actual race.

To hardcore gearheads, Lemans is great....the vintage cars, sounds, drivers, etc.
But to most others, it's a bore...no script....just Steve McQueen having fun.
