Stallone really wanted to shoot a movie about Formula One, but after lenghthy negociations, Bernie Ecclestone didn't like the project anymore. So Sly turned to the CART series (who welcomed him) but kept a scenario full of F1 references. |

There used to be a German CART race on Eurospeedway Lausitz. |

Now I found the thing, it is Waltek C 4500 airport fire truck. http://www.waltek-trucks.com/Relife.html |

Yes, but during a horrible accident in the inaugural race, that was held under the theme "help heal wounds" from the terrorist attacks on the United States, Alex Zanardi lost both legs. Since then the speedway, that was designed to host both - CART and NASCAR races, is derelict. |

By the way, there are more chances that the local firetrucks look more like this one : http://www.ffw-forst.de/TM23-12.html |

Yes, on the race circuit, but not the superspeedway. |
