The Rush trailer? Good stuff. The film? Even better. I saw it at a screening in New York on Wednesday. It was the final cut of the film, and trust me, you have reason to be excited about it. I think it's the best racing movie, and not just because of the car porn. They all have that in spades. No, this is about the…

Even more giddy goosebumps than the first trailer.

Other than a few notable exceptions, racing movies are pretty much all total crap. Sylvester Stallone's Driven actually made me stop and reconsider all my life choices. But Ron Howard is coming to the rescue with RUSH, and the trailer is simply amazing.

Racing cars are meant to race, not sit in garages and rot away. But racing means crashing, and this picture of a broken Ferrari 312T2 — a Formula One car from the late 70s — on the set of Ron Howard's Rush is one sad reminder of the fact.

For his James Hunt/Niki Lauda biopic, Rush, director Ron Howard appears to be recreating a 1970 F3 race that helped shape the legend of Hunt, the mercurial 1970s Formula One champ and shag-o-lator. Of course, Hunt's arch-rival Niki Lauda was there too. Or was he?

The key moment in the rivalry between F1 legends Niki Lauda and James Hunt was Lauda's near-fatal crash on the Nürburgring in 1976. It will now also be the fiery centerpiece for Ron Howard's upcoming film Rush, and a man walking his dog happened to record the whole scene as it was being filmed.

James Hunt was a sex-crazed playboy. Niki Lauda was nearly consumed in flames. They both raced in one of the most thrilling, dangerous eras in Formula One. Here is a look inside Rush, Ron Howard's upcoming film about their rivalry and motor racing in the ‘70s.
