[B]Rush[/B]. 2013.  Ron Howard directed. This is a recent re-watch with my daughter.  Stars Chris Hemsworth as James Hunt and Daniel Brühl as Niki Lauda.  It's based on a true story of two F1 racing drivers and their epic rivalry.  Hunt is British, and is essentially the Joe Namath of F1, good looking, partying, risk taking, playboy.  Lauda is Austrian, stern, serious, dedicated, risk averse.  Olivia Wilde and Natalie Dormer have supporting roles as two of Hunt's companions.  The race scenes are really well done.  The interplay between these guys, who don't like each other but very much come to respect each other, is what makes it work.  The rivalry culminates in the 1976 F1 season, which comes down to the last race for the championship on the most challenging track in the world, the Nürburgring.  The dangers of the sport are front and center.  When Niki Lauda first saw 'Rush' he said "! That's really me."  It's a really enjoyable film, probably my second favorite about the sport to Ford vs Ferrari.  Enzo of course, shows up in this one as well, since Lauda signs with Ferrari.
