showtime is airing a doc on the making of le mans if interested
heres some learned facts if you don't/cabn't watch:
steve was in a car accident right before the film having having a fling with his leading lady
one of the drivers lost his leg in an accident, steve tried to have the film dedicated to him and some proceeds go to him, the studio didn't agree
the production was a mess because of no script and a big faiure for steve who was depressed with the end result
