Steve McQueen does the 1970 12 Hours of Sebring...with a Broken Foot
Everyone knows Steve McQueen loves cars and can make great films about racing. However, this quick clip is great - a quick interview with McQueen after a stint talking about driving with a cast on his left foot. Apparently, strapping sandpaper to your cast gives traction enough to make the drive doable. Incredibly, with a co-driver and fellow 'Merican Pete Revson - who also ran in Formula One - the pair came in first in their class and 2nd overall in a Porsche 908/02 just a few seconds behind Andretti's Ferrari 512 for a controversial finish.

Take that Frankie Muniz.
