Directed by: Renny Harlin
Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Burt Reynolds, Estella Warren, Til Schweiger, Kip Pardue
Factual error: During "Joe's Coin Bit", the team wouldn't be able to hear Joe humming. Race car radios are activated by a button on the steering wheel.
Suggested correction: So maybe he held the button the whole time to prove a point. This is movie-land, after all.
Factual error: At the "Prototype Exhibition" party, Jimmy and Joe hop in two cars for a run through the Chicago streets. But, CART cars do not have built-in starters, they need external ones.
Trivia: In the scene of real Champ car drivers doing pre-race rituals, Kenny Brack (the driver of the Shell car) is holding a photo of a baby and then tapes it inside his race suit. The baby you see in the picture is director Renny Harlin's son, Lukas.
