The film does not aim to challenge traditional social norms or prioritize identity issues. Instead, it focuses on the professional milestones of two specific racing icons and their corporate partnerships. Given its focus on a specific historical subculture, the representation remains largely homogeneous, reflecting the demographics of the era’s racing industry.
