00:00 [dramatic music]
00:01 Any one of the actors that are portrayed
00:03 as driving the car, anytime that you see that in the movie,
00:05 they're actually going around the track
00:07 pretty close to the speed that they should be going.
00:09 Neil's approach was, if I put them in a speeding car
00:11 at 140 miles an hour, you're gonna get
00:13 that real guttural reaction from them,
00:15 and you're gonna feel the G-forces.
00:17 [engine revving]
00:20 The pod vehicle, which is designed for interior photography,
00:24 all of the driving equipment is moved to the roof.
00:26 So your stunt driver is above the performer,
00:28 and then the performer is basically holding,
00:30 essentially, a fake steering wheel with fake pedals,
00:32 and the cabin is not in control of the car.
00:36 We're actually on the track in real time,
00:38 doing the real choreography of the race.
00:39 So everything feels very, very real.
00:41 [engine revving]
00:44 We did build what I believe
00:46 are the fastest driving pods ever built.
00:49 These cars travel close to 140 miles an hour.
00:52 Stunt drivers who are driving those pods
00:55 so that our actors can give real life performances
00:57 at high speed.
00:58 - They're boxing me in!
01:00 - It's pretty extraordinary.
01:01 - It makes the film all the more special
01:03 and all the more fun, 'cause you know
01:05 that what you're watching is real.
