The comment about how long it would have taken Ken Miles to walk from the cathedral to the circuit reminded me of another movie where this happened. I had just returned from a trip to Singapore and watched Crazy Rich Asians with the wife. There was a scene where a character just casually walked from Orchard Road/Newton Circus area to Sentosa Island. Made me laugh as that would have taken all night, similar to Miles' walk.
Do not forget Ben Stiller's extreme skateboarding trip through Iceland in The secret life of Walter Mitty

Well the amount of Porsche 906 rear ends was also quite high, compared to how few there were, compared to Ferraris and especially GT40's which entered the race:
