My CommentThis is not a real documentary, it is an action movie spiced with some real footage from the 24 hours race of Le Mans in 1970.
Steve McQueen, in the role of the main actor and being a real race driver in real life, had intended to actually race a Porsche 917 together with Jackie Stewart at the 24h of Le Mans 1970, but the #26 entry was not accepted. Instead, in the movie, he was shown starting the race on the blue #20 Gulf-Porsche 917K, which in the real race was driven by Jo Siffert and Brian Redman. The race-leading white #25 Porsche 917 "Long tail" was piloted by Vic Elford/Kurt Ahrens, Jr.
