Corrected entry: The plot revolves around Tobey being locked up, and that the evidence was such that there were no corroborating witnesses to show there were 3 Agera R's racing that fateful day. This is simply nonsense. There were hundreds of people in cars on the highway that could easily testify that there were three cars of the same make but different colour. There were also people that crashed because of the racing, and there's just no way that the police wouldn't get involved in cleaning that up and trying to establish how they crashed in the first place. It's inconceivable that of the hundreds of people on the highway that day in broad daylight, not one could tell the police that there were in fact 3 Agera R's racing that day.

Directed by: Scott Waugh
Starring: Dominic Cooper, Aaron Paul, Dakota Johnson, Imogen Poots, Kid Cudi
Continuity mistake: When the Shelby Mustang makes the 'Grasshopper' jump, the wheels change to a completely different type when it's in the air. After it lands, the wheels change back to the original wheels.
Tobey Marshall: I do not fear, for you are with me. All those who defied me, shall be ashamed and disgraced. Those who wage war against me, shall perish. I will find strength, find guidance, and I will triumph.

Question: Near the end a cop rigs his car up ahead of the racers with a baton holding down the accelerator. As the racers came by he put his car into drive, launching it into them. It's this an actual legit police technique? Wouldn't it be just as effective, if not more, had he simply parked it across the road? (Small road with trees on both side).
Answer: I agree with Ssiscool though I am not a cop either. This method is way too drastic and risky, I doubt that any police would use such uncontrollable and destructive force to simply stop a suspect while they could just install spike strips or - as suggested by the aforementioned - place a proper road block, giving a chance to the offenders to stop in time and surrender.

Correction: In the movie the police state that there were witnesses that saw three cars, but no-one could place Dino at the scene. Also prior to the race Dino implied these 3 cars do not exist, so without proof of a third car showing Dino owned it and no witnesses who saw him at the scene, police didn't have proof Dino was there. Even if Dino was proved to be there, Toby would still have been charged and probably gone to prison for his involvement in the race, which led to a accident and death, so it's believable.
