As good as the effects and production values for this film are, it is still, I think, the acting that "drives"  this movie. Grand Prix is interesting for me because it delves into each driver's personality somewhat, as well as the reasons for their participation in such a dangerous profession. The personality contrasts between the drivers are pronounced: the American driver, Pete Aron(James Garner), is pragmatic, direct, and can come off as brusque, though I think he's a good fellow at heart. Sartis(Yves Montand), the Frenchman, is very savvy, somewhat world-weary, very suave and dashing, beneath his polished exterior an always smouldering drive to win. Stoddard(Brian Bedford), the Brit, is a quiet, introspective guy, similar to Aron, and Barlini(Antonio Sabato) is a young guy, likable and very affable, who is spontaneous and unpredictable, always with a female on his arm, and the life of the party(actually all the post race parties, in many of which he is a wild drunkard). thumbs up
