digree. It was nominated for four Academy Awards, including best picture, and it won an Oscar for best sound. Kosinski wrote the screenplay alongside Oscar-nominated scribe Ehren Kruger, and the film was produced by an A-list roster that includes Jerry Bruckheimer, Kosinski, Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Lewis Hamilton and Chad Oman.

In a making of the film feature, THR's Beatrice Verhoeven reported that Koskinski and his team  relied as much as possible on practical effects  while leaning on digital magic for certain sequences. Said VFX supervisor Ryan Tudhope:  We had two or three of our APXGP cars on the track, so in visual effects, we would replace those and add other cars in the background to make it feel like they were within the race.  Other times, they replaced cars on the tracks to avoid major accidents.  Some damage was too risky,  Tudhope said.  So we'd use a smaller vehicle, an F3 car, and a stunt driver would do the stunt and we would later replace that with our APXGP car.
