When a horrific crash during the 1976 Grand Prix at the Nurburgring nearly claims Lauda's life, however, a grudging respect begins to develop between the two racers as Hunt realizes just how devoted his greatest adversary is to the sport they both love.Canadian Home Video Rating: 14A.DVD ; widescreen presentation ; Dolby digital 5.1.
