Robert Duvall is obliged to reminisce about the old days and the deaths of drivers informing Cole, the rookie, that there is a tradition that no racing driver ever attends another’s funeral. In this he is less than correct: at Ayrton Senna’s state funeral in Sao Paulo his fellow Grand Prix drivers escorted the coffin.

That apart, Towne gives a philosophical underpinning to this seemingly straightforward story. “Cole Trickle is the embodiment of the competitive zeal and talent that believes blindly in itself. Until that critical turning point of the story, a mind-bruising crash. It is then that the young protagonist must discover how much he can control his own fate. His story becomes the struggle of a driver trying to replace his belief in his own infallibility with the true courage of a man who recognises that, even if some things are beyond his control, he must go on to face them if he is to race, to win, to live his life.”
