You can see the sports car on the pace lap in the shot taken behind the chariots. At the top of the screen there's a dark red convertible making turn 1.

Guess I'll have to get the DVD and see if I can get a screenshot of it.

It'll be a long search

Interesting factoid: There have been three great rumors circulating for years about the chariot race: One, that a red Ferarri is visible parked outside the stadium. Two, that in certain scenes, Heston is sporting a wrist watch. Three, that a man was killed during the filmming. All three are totally false, urban legends handed down for years from the movie industry.

Just watched it again, but still couldn't see it. Are you talking about the wide overhead shot? All I saw in the background there was matte painting.
