“He also did almost all of the stunt driving in his movies.”

Yes, a very accomplished stunt driver. He made popular what is now called “The Jim Rockford” maneuver. (Back up fast and spin the car around in the other direction)

A “Crazy Ivan” if you will.

He was great in “Grand Prix”. A role originally offered to Steve McQueen.
