premiumdiesel 300 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 hooper (not racing but lots of car action) cannon ball run Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jumper12a 1,641 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Definitely Six Pack. I have that movie on DVD, I love it. I also have Cannonball Run, love that movie too, but I don’t generally think of that as a “racing” movie. Although it technically is a race. Heart Like A Wheel was really good too.

leakin_fluids 1,305 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Winners take all, its a cheesy motocross movie from the 80s but, as a kid I bet I watched it a dozen times. The whole movie is on YouTube for free if you want to kill an hour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The plot is nonsense, but the racing footage is second to none. I never cared for Le Mans the movie. Ford vs Ferrari and Rush are pretty good though. Biopics are hard because they add too much dramatic license. With that said, both those are better than most. Not perfect, but pretty close. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
