Im not sure if anyone's seen it, but "Senna". About a formula 1 driver who becomes a Brazilian icon. It documents his rise and fall. He tragically dies when he makes a hairpin turn and his drive shaft breaks and he drives into a wall head on at full speed. The drive shaft thrust forward and hit him in the head, killing him instantly.
At the end it shows his funeral and there's a ton of people. It's a bummer. Great movie though.
