Grand Prix won three Oscars. The photography was incredible for the day. It won for best sound, best editing, and best special effects back in the day, and truly was ahead of it's time.
It brought the high risks of racing, and national pride to the masses. There have been loads of racing movies since....but they're not Grand Prix.

"Y'know one of the most beautiful things about a car? If it isn't working properly, you can strip the skin off, expose the insides, find out exactly where the trouble is, take out the faulty part and replace it with a new one. If only we could do that with people!"
