The new Sly Stallone CART racing film "Driven" is coming to theaters in April.

There's a full page ad for it in the March 2001 issue of ROAD & TRACK.

Here's the link to the film:

Mark your calendars!

 

It looks like the emphasis might be on crash-bang and kissy-face. Rocky does CART?

looks like we'll have a few racing movies to check out this summer.. fast and the furious (comedy), and Driven (love story?, action)

 

I can't say I'm waiting too excitedly for this one. I had initially thought this would be an F1 movie, and was looking forward to it. But, after seeing the trailer for the movie in the theater, I realized it would be a CART movie. That's fine, but the producers apparently liked the sound of F1 cars better, because the engine sounds they use in the trailer are unmistakenly those of a Formula 1 car!

It's that kind of attention to detail that makes me love Hollywood (-:

Yeah, I remember the commentators talking about Stallone being at the race at a few of the 99 races, that's when I started to get excited.

Regardless the reason, it's a shame )-:

You have Bernie to thank for that. He did everything he could to make it difficult for Stallone to make it an F1 movie.

I prefer CART to F1 anyways because the field's a lot more level. It's not like F1 where you can flip a coin and be 50% sure that you've picked the winner of the race (McLaren or Ferrari). Plus, it's great to be able to meet the drivers at a CART race while they're walking around the paddock. I'd like to see that happen at an F1 race!

At the Long Beach Grand Prix last April they ran a car around with a camera mounted on it during practice.

The announcer made some announcement about the camera car and the movie.
