The sound effects surely were added in, which make it sort of unrealistic although more dramatic.

It's hard to say where the fuel cell of either car is. Both cars are rear engine RWD, so it would mean the cell is somewhere in the rear of the car near the engine, or in the front in between the suspension, which I believe the latter would make more sense as far as weight distribution goes.

If you look in the begining of the film, the weather really wasn't that bad you can clearly see signs in the background, etc.. it wasn't till the cars went by that the visibility got really bad.

A year or two ago CART held a race in Mexico I believe in a really bad rain storm. Not only was the visibility horrible to begin with, but as soon as the cars started moving it was impossible to see. Imagine only being able to make out the siloette of the flag stand on that first video. As soon as the green flag dropped someone spun a collected half of the field (usually only 24 or so cars in a Champ Car race) and littered the front straight with cars and parts. Needless to say CART cancelled the race for the day. It's unfortunate that some racing organizations are too blinded by their money and put the lives of racing teams and track crews in jeopardy.
