Le Mans START OF THE RACE. Steve McQueen

Classic film!

[@highplainsdrifter699]

[@Lewis.Alcindor]

The most unique part of this movie was that the film production coincidentally took place during the only year of this type of race start (drivers sitting fully buckled up in the cockpit, with the car turned off in the pit area and in diagonal position). The year before, LeMans still had the classic "LeMans start", with drivers running across the width of the tracks into their cars, starting it, and then racing off. This was the year that a driver was notoriously killed during the first lap because he wasn't buckled in properly, and which Jacky Ickx won the whole race even though he protested the unsafe start conditions by walking slowly to his car and buckling himself in properly before driving off. The year after, LeMans implemented the "Indianapolis start", which is the same rolling start you see nowadays. IMO, it was great fortune that they just happened to make the movie in 1970 because neither the classic "LeMans start" nor the rolling "Indianapolis start" could have that same awesome slow-yet-tense buildup with the heart beating faster and faster until the clock hits zero, the light turns green, the flag waves, and the drivers turn on their engines as a blast of 12-cylinder noises comes roaring to life and the cars zoom out of the pits in a haze of rubber debris and smoke.

[@Lewis.Alcindor]

The film definitely had music. The director was simply smart enough to allow the viewers to enjoy a full mostly-uncut first lap with only racing sounds before starting the music and the camera cuts. Luckily for us, it was a cool jazzy 60s soundtrack that fit with the whole decor and feel of the film.

monster boxer 12, and a howl at full song that raises the hair on your neck, 240 mph down the Mulsane Straight with a 4 speed trans, drivers that weren't afraid to drive them that fast, what a car! miss that era.

[@Kneedragon1962]

The 917 boxer 12. In 1970, that was the best sounding car man or god had yet made. Now here we are, poor busted old farts almost 50 years later, and what has changed? The cars don't go as fast, they don't look as good, they are a lot safer & more efficient, and that 917 boxer 12 is still the best sounding engine ever made. Absolute eargasm, every time. The "boxer" 12s made by Ferrari, those sound pretty good too, but those are 180 degree V12s. They're not boxers. Look at a BMW motorcycle engine, from any time in the last century, and that's a boxer. Look at the VW, and that engine was quite literally copied from the BMW bike engine, by Ferdinand Porsche, at the orders of Adolph Hitler. So is the flat 6 in all the 911s, and so is the 917. That's where the design roots come from. Today, you can buy a 911 GT2 RS, which has 700 hp, does comfortably over 200 mph, and goes around the Nordschliffe in about 6:45 or so, and that can trace it's design ancestry back to a motorcycle engine first built in mid 1919. And the AutoUnion grand prix cars...

I remember watching this film in the theater when it first came out. I loved it and was totally mesmerized by the speed, racing action, and feeling like I was in the driver's seat. This film was pure racing, no soap opera, just cars. I loved it and couldn't care less what critics had to say. I saw it several times on the big screen. What a mind blowing experience. The film still holds up today for racing photography.

I saw this movie for the first time in a drive-in movie upon its release and multiple times in the coming years at theaters. In November of 1982 I went on vacation from Los Angeles to Paris and took a train to Le Mans and a bus to the race track. I was given a ride around the "Bugatti Course" at racing speed by the chief driving instructor for the drivers school that was in progress. THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!! Tremendous, great memories of the experience, thanks to this movie a Steve Mcqueen.

This was one of the 1st films That actually paid tribute to car racing there were no stunt drivers. What you're seeing is real unlike the movie Grand Prix with James Garner that was Hollywood krapp. Steve McQueen while filming the movie lemone's was asked by the director to dirty his face up and do it with make up he refused jumped in the car ran a couple laps and came back in his face was perfect for the shoot dirty and real as it got. There's a documentary on the making of this film Steve McQueen was supposed to be at Sharon Tate's house the night Charles Manson killed her and her house guests he was unfortunately in France shooting this movie and missed the party invitation.

frank Lujan Same with Conrod Straight at Bathurst. The ‘no straight longer than a mile rule’ took away so much of testing of car components, especially at Bathurst where it is all downhill.

The old Mulsanne (Hunaudieres) straight was over three and a half miles long. I remember standing near the track, about halfway down and listening to cars at full throttle for 30 seconds , getting louder and louder until they screamed past me - at 250mph a few feet away - and then another 30 seconds at full throttle into the distance.

That ceased after 1969, as a result of John Woolfe's (917) fatal accident on the first lap. The problem was that in some, if not most cases, drivers just speed off once they got into their cars - then somewhere along the Mulsanne they would steer with their knees trying to secure their seat belts. Oddly enough, in this same 1969 race, F1 ace Jacky Ickx staged a safety protest of this problem just as the drivers were given the green flag to run to their cars - as he simply walked across while his competitors ran to their cars. Ickx/Jackie Oliver won that race by a mere 100yds in front of the 2nd place Porsche 908 (Herrmann / Larrousse).
