My recent post about Françoise in "Grand Prix" got me thinking (besides about her) how much the cars have changed since 1966. The advanced technology inside a modern racing car is something else entirely. Kinda like a several-million dollar computer on wheels that goes over 230 MPH (370.15 km).

"Safety" in the movie appears to be nonexistent. Drivers run into hay bales and trees, spectators line the course without any form of grandstand or barrier and get onto the track, at least one driver is almost decapitated when his car runs under a guardrail, and one of the main characters is killed tragically at the end when his car runs off a high banking and explodes.

Here are a couple of Ferrari "concept" cars for 2019. The third picture is Lewis Hamilton winning the United States GP in 2007 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I was fortunate to see this race as well as the inaugural event in 2000 won by Michael Schumacher. Bringing F1 here was a good thing IMHO. Indy screwed it up of course and lost out for 2008 and beyond. Now F1 runs a race in Austin, Texas at the Circuit of the Americas. Lewis Hamilton has won six times.
