Suggested correction: So maybe he held the button the whole time to prove a point. This is movie-land, after all.

Corrected entry: During the scene were Bly is going over different tracks on his laptop prior to going to a night club, you can see a track map for Nurburgring on the laptop screen. The cart series do not race at Nurburgring.
Correction: CART indeed never raced at the Nurburgring, but that does not mean his simulator cannot include the track for general testing purposes; it may not be a CART-specific sim.

Corrected entry: Mercedez Benz wasn't even in CART this year, and for the past few years when they were, they only won ONE Race. It doesn't make sense that they would win the driver's championship. Except if they sponsored the film, of course...
Correction: CART used Mercedes engines until 2000. Despite being released in 2001, the actual year of the film's championship is never stated. During the gala scene, an announcer says "... Magnificent extreme machines that will race us into the new millennium", indicating that the film takes place in the late 1990s or 2000.
