Somehow, as the film progresses, its superficial protagonists grow more complex and assume added dimensions, until they unexpectedly emerge as interesting people.The result, though not a picture that many filmgoers would take special pains to see, still provides an agreeable hour for those who do. It is enough to make a viewer wonder what Mr. Corman might be able to accomplish with a better project and adequate means.

A talky European Grand Prix thriller/romantic potboiler. [14 Sep 2007, p.WE38]

Lust on the Grand Prix circuit. [30 Sep 2007, p.N34]

The Young Racers mostly succumbs to the streak of pretension strongly felt beneath the hubristic surfaces of more than a few Corman features.

It's pure soap opera, but the race sequences are pretty impressive. [19 Sep 2007, p.E6]

Despite some terrific race sequences, which Corman shot beautifully, the film, itself, is just a total bore.
