In the final stretch of [[spoiler:the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Jann is struggling from the trauma of his Nürburgring wreck, and Jack plays some of that music through his radio (via his new Walkman that Jann gave to him as a gift, which itself is a ChekhovsGun), to get him to snap into it and get angry, which instantly helps.]]
