Any good “history of racing” movies?

Just finished “Lawless” on the Flix and it only briefly touched on the “we had to put in a suped-up carborator to get an old jalopy runnin’ so fast we could outrun the law...”
Is there any good movies where that is the main focus? Lawless was about the bootlegging, but is there one that starts there and transitions to the start of race car racing?
TIA

Probably a good documentary somewhere about it, more so than a film.
Six Pack
Speedway
Greased Lightning
Stroker Ace
The Last American Hero
Are decent old racing movies though

I'm pretty sure Days of Thunder was filmed right after America beat the brakes of the British army.

There is a documentary about Fomula 1 called "1". It is excellent.
It really shows how dangerous the sport was and is.

Netflix has a series that covers the 2018 and 2019 F1 seasons. It's excellent. It's called Formula 1 Drive to Survive.
There's also a show on the Williams family of F1 called Williams. One called Senna that I really enjoyed which was a season of episodes. The 24 Hour War documents Ford vs Ferrari.
Prime has a series called Le Mans Racing is Everything. They also have a series called Grand Prix Driver which follows McLaren as they prepared for the 2017 season. It shows how much of the deisgn is seat of your pants stuff and how last minute much of it can be.
There's also a prime show about the racing life of Paul Newman.
That should be enough to get you going.
