Continuity mistake: When we first see Daniel in the taxi and the guy jumps in the back, when Daniel removes the steering wheel from the car the armrest has all four electric window switches present but when he changes the wheel whilst driving with Emilien in the back for the first time, the armrest only has one switch meaning a right hand drive modified car was used in motion shots. Hard to spot but its there.

Continuity mistake: When Daniel gets into the 2 Mercedes, he breaks one of the side mirrors, but in the race the mirror is there again without a single scratch.
