   Why did Steve McQueen race at Le Mans?

   • For McQueen, a serious amateur racer who had finished second (sharing a Porsche 908 with Peter Revson) in the 1970 Sebring 12 Hours, making 'Le Mans' was a self-confessed seminal moment in his life. In fact, it was an obsession, and a dangerous one at that. The sole aim was, in his words, "to show rather than explain why a man races cars".

   Is McQueen's Le Mans a good movie?

   • A couple of minor errors in the cars' paint jobs fail to dampen the reality of the on-track action. It is true that the off-track storyline is a little weak, and some of the performances are a bit hammy, but McQueen absolutely nailed the "feel" of the Le Mans race. For this reason it is many race fans' favourite movie. It's certainly mine .
