这部电影几乎是一部纪录片的广度和深度，描绘了 70 年代在世界上最艰难的耐力赛场上的一场汽车比赛：法国勒芒。比赛在 14.5 公里的封闭乡间公路上进行，历时 24 小时。每隔几个小时，每辆车的两名司机就会轮流进行一次——但这仍然是对注意力和材料的挑战。焦点是驾驶法拉利 512LM 的德国斯塔勒和驾驶海湾车队保时捷 917 的美国人德莱尼之间的对决。德莱尼承受着巨大的压力，因为前一年他造成了一场严重的事故，他的朋友丽莎的丈夫在事故中丧生。
Almost in breadth and depth of a documentary, this movie depicts an auto race during the 70s on the world's hardest endurance course: Le Mans in France. The race goes over 24 hours on 14.5 kilometers of cordoned country road. Every few hours the two drivers per car alternate - but it's still a challenge for concentration and material. In the focus is the duel between the German Stahler in Ferrari 512LM and the American Delaney in Gulf Team Porsche 917. Delaney is under extraordinary pressure, because the year before he caused a severe accident, in which his friend Lisa's husband was killed.
