• The film is based on the true story of gamer Jann Mardenborough, who became a professional racing driver.
• Jann Mardenborough himself acts as a stunt double for the actor portraying him.
• Races were typically filmed at the Hungaroring (Hungary).
• The character of Orlando Bloom was based on Darren Cox, a former employee of 'Nissan' who created the 'GT Academy' program in 2008, which helped gamers become professional racers.
• The character of Peppe Barroso was based on Lucas Ordóñez, a gamer from Spain who won 'GT Academy' in 2009 and became a professional racer.
• Yann Mardenborough himself acted as a stunt double for the actor portraying him.
• The racing scenes were mainly filmed at the Hungaroring in Hungary.
• The character of Orlando Bloom was based on Darren Cox, a former Nissan employee who created the GT Academy television program in 2008, helping gamers become professional racers.
• The character of Pepe Barroso was based on Lucas Ordonez, a gamer from Spain who won GT Academy in 2009 and became a professional racer.
• Many scenes in the film feature real racing tracks, but the filmmakers were not allowed to film the endurance race at Le Mans. The track imagery was created from footage shot at the track in Hungary, supplemented with computer graphics.
• The crash scenes, including the collision involving Archie Madekwe's character on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, used cars created using digital technology.
• Yann Mardenborough gave the filmmakers permission to include an episode in the script about the 2015 crash at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, which resulted in one fatality (49-year-old Andy Hermann from Denmark). The film faced criticism for creating the impression that this accident influenced how Mardenborough drove in Le Mans. In reality, the crash occurred two years after the Le Mans race.
