The film portrays a composite of two real fatal accidents at Watkins Glen, combining what appears to be the remains of a blue liveried 1973 Tyrrell 006 with the configuration of Helmuth Koinigg's accident and decapitation while driving a Surtees TS16 in the 1974 race. The fatal accident depicted in the Watkins Glen scene was that of French driver François Cevert, who won the race the previous year. Cévert was killed during practice for the 1973 U.S. Grand Prix. Jackie Stewart, Cévert's teammate and mentor, withdrew and retired from racing after the crash. A similar accident occurred one year later, when Austrian rookie Helmuth Koinigg died during the 1974 Grand Prix.
