Movies about Car Racing

Whether it's about professionals - like in the awesome “Rush” by Ron Howard – or lawless racers – like in the adrenaline-fuelled “Fast & Furious” saga, cinema has always loved high speed and race cars. Sometimes the plot is centred around racing, other times high speed stints are just a means to get the loot, like in “the Italian job” (watch out: there are two movies with the same title!) So, illegal races, on the track, on tarmac or off-road, Nascar and Formula 1 championships, dragsters or taxis. This is a vast section with dozens of genres for those who love races!
