“This is a racing movie. It is not Driven.” Those are the words of award-winning director Ron Howard about the film Rush, which goes on general release in October.

The film is the story of the 1976 Formula 1 World Championship, the epic James Hunt versus Niki Lauda battle. The clips that Motorsport Retro has seen show that Howard means what he says. The cars are real, owned by collectors, and driven as they should be – at 100%.

The recreations of the triumph and tragedy are beautifully handled, and we think that Rush will soon be mention with the same awe as Grand Pix, Le Mans and Senna by both racing fans and those that like a good movie. As soon as we can, we will drip feed you some more clips.

Robert DeNiro's His critically acclaimed, longtime collaborations with Martin Scorsese began with 1973's Mean Streets, and earned De Niro an Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Jake LaMotta in the 1980 film Raging Bull. He was also nominated for an Academy Award for his roles in Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976) and Cape Fear (1991). In addition, he received nominations for his acting in Michael Cimino's The Deer Hunter (1978) and Penny Marshall's Awakenings (1990).

Farrah Leni Fawcett was an American actress and artist. A multiple Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominee, Fawcett rose to international fame when she first appeared as private investigator Jill Munroe in the first season of the television series Charlie's Angels, in 1976. Fawcett later appeared Off-Broadway to critical approval and in highly rated and critically acclaimed television movies, in roles often challenging (The Burning Bed; Nazi Hunter:

The Beate Klarsfeld Story; Poor Little Rich Girl: The Barbara Hutton Story; Double Exposure: The Story of Margaret Bourke-White) and sometimes unsympathetic (Small Sacrifices). Fawcett was a sex symbol whose iconic poster, released the same year Charlie's Angels premiered, broke sales records, making her an international pop culture icon. Her hairstyle was emulated by young women in the 1970s and 1980s.

Lindsay Jean Wagner (born June 22, 1949) is an American actress. She is probably best known for her portrayal of Jaime Sommers in the 1970s television series The Bionic Woman (for which she won an Emmy award), though she has maintained a lengthy career in a variety of other film and television productions since.

This was soon followed by his breakthrough 1967 film role as Benjamin Braddock, the title character in The Graduate. Since then Hoffman's career has largely been focused on cinema, with sporadic returns to television and the stage. His most notable films include Papillon, Marathon Man, Midnight Cowboy, Little Big Man, Lenny, All the President's Men, Kramer vs. Kramer, Tootsie, Rain Man and Hook.

Hoffman has won two Academy Awards (for his performances in Kramer vs. Kramer and Rain Man), five Golden Globes, four BAFTAs, three Drama Desk Awards, a Genie Award, and an Emmy Award. Hoffman received the AFI Life Achievement Award in 1999.

What Car Would Steve McQueen Drive Today?
If the only car Steve McQueen ever drove in his day was a 1956 Jaguar XKSS he'd still be one of the coolest car guys around. But what new cars would he drive if McQueen were alive today?

Not to mention, McQueen also had a 1963 Ferrari 250 GT Lusso, a 1976 911 Turbo and a 1967 Ferrari 275 GTS/4 NART Spyder, a 1953 Siata 208S boutique sports car, and that's not even scratching the surface. But would any modern cars pass the McQueen test? Sure. What would they be?

The Volo Auto Museum is in the process of restoring the Ferrari Daytona Spyder replica used during the first two seasons of Miami Vice. The vehicle, which was reportedly used and abused by the star, Don Johnson, was left out to pasture and is now undergoing a full restoration to bring it back to its former glory.

The replica of the Spyder was built off a 1980 Corvette C3 and spawned countless copycats and subsequent lawsuits from Ferrari. After the first two years of filming the series, Ferrari decided to give up two Testarossas in an effort to stem the tide of replicas flooding the market.
