Rush--Hunt vs Lauda by Ron Howard
Most of you will recall the 1976 F1 season when James Hunt and Niki Lauda went at it. Lauda was involved in a horrific accident at the Nurburgring but returned to fight to the end-to everyone's delight/amazement. Ron Howard is making a movie of the season called "Rush". Original footage and actual 1976 F1 cars are being used.
Ron Howard's Rush caught filming at 'Ring

I don't recall much about the 1976 season. Because I was 6.

Remember it well... and Niki is one tough SOB. Met him twice... he is also very nice.

I can't recall seeing a bad movie from Ron Howard's productions.
God knows Motorsports needs a good movie.
