Well, if Luc Besson has anything to do with it, the racing scenes are going to look good. "Taxi" was such a failure worldwide that they made two sequels, and it sells like hotcakes on DVD despite being subtitled - usually the kiss of death for a film on general release.
I would think the producers will at the very least be astute enough to release the film in France a week before this year's race. Should be ample opportunity during the annual Le Mans pilgrimage to dive into town and catch a screening, and hopefully if nothing else, the art cinemas in most major conurbations in the UK will show it.
