The replica produced for the movie was quite impressively accurate.

I loved that movie.

from Wiki:

In the mid-1970s, charismatic English playboy James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) and Austrian perfectionist Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl) share an intense rivalry in Formula 1 racing. Driving vehicles that are little more than gas-filled, rolling bombs, Hunt and Lauda burn up the track, all the while pushing themselves to the breaking point of physical and mental endurance. Meanwhile, the women (Olivia Wilde, Alexandra Maria Lara) in their lives can only watch as both drivers risk death with every lap.

While he was in my city promoting a children’s book he wrote. He could not have been more friendly and engaging. I said “Mr Winkler everyone loves the Fonz and for good reason but my favorite thing you’ve ever done was Night Shift. I treasure that film.”

His eyes lit up and he talked about how much fun they had making it. I gathered he was surprised I mentioned it. Anyway, a terrific encounter with a nice man.
