The intense rivalry between racing drivers Niki Lauda and James Hunt, which culminated in a showdown in the 1976 Formula 1 season.
Patterned in the style of Senna but as full-out drama rather than documentary  with top-notch talent, and despite the writer's usual slanting of the truth (Lauda was almost as much of a womaniser as Hunt), the film is a memorable moral and sporting joust between two latter-day knights of equal character flaws and strengths. Good 70s period detail too.
