The part that was tampered with, that was removed from under the rear of the racecar, is a planetary gear-set found in all automatic transmissions. The racecar that he pulled the part from had a manual transmission. Also, this part could be in his hands only if the transmission had been removed from the middle of the car and then dissembled and pulled from inside the transmission. That would take 2-3 hours, not 22 seconds as acted.
There are numerous shots of people racing in open-top cars, but in none of these shots is the racers' hair or clothing buffeted by wind.
When scenes are showing the driver and/or passenger in the moving open-air racecar, it is quite obvious there are no lenses in the goggles they're wearing to protect their eyes.
