The movie was filmed at a variety of races on the Champ Car schedule, but some, including Chicago, Motegi, Detroit, and Germany, are no longer on the schedule: Chicago Motor Speedway's financial operations were suspended after Champ Car's last race there, Motegi, like many of Champ Car's teams, left for the Indy Racing League after 2002. Detroit was removed from the Champ Car schedule after the 2001 season due to lack of road surface, and Germany was suspended after Champ Car competitor Alex Zanardi lost his legs in a crash with Alex Tagliani with 13 laps to go. Zanardi would come back to finish those 13 laps in a specially modified Champ Car when Champ Car made its first (and last, to date) appearance at the EuroSpeedway. It should be noted that in Driven, the German race took place on a road course, but in fact, the CART race is on an oval. Champ Car, a shortened form of Championship Car, has been the name for a class of cars used in American Championship Car Racing for many decades. ...

The movie premier took place at Grauman's Chinese Theatre, with several Champ Car competitors driving and demonstrating pit stops in modified Champ Cars down Hollywood Blvd. The movie only met modest success, but fared better than director Harlin's last three films, Deep Blue Sea, The Long Kiss Goodnight, and the critical and financial failure, Cutthroat Island. The movie made mixed reviews, with people for the most part saying it was a good movie that needed quite a bit of improvement. The movie later spawned a video game of the same name, which, like it's silver screen counterpart, only met modest success.

Criticism The movie didn't receive good reviews from motor racing fans, since the movie has numerous glaring errors including: - Champ cars don't have start keys,
- You don't suddenly decide to floor it half way down the straight
- the quarters scene was a travesty
- the Nürburgring track was never part of the Champ Car calendar - the real-life race in Germany was on an oval
- most of all, the accidents shown are very unlikely to happen in real Champ Car racing.
