Race swapped the team members
The real-life team (Mikael Lindnord, Simon Niemi, Karen Lundgren, and Staffan Björklund) were not diverse as portrayed. The team leader in real life is Sweedish, not American, and his name is Mikael Lindnord, not Michael Light. His wife was in the team in real life, but was portrayed as retired from racing and at home during the race, which is dishonors her efforts. Also some forced strong female moments.

Better Than Expected.
Only woke is DEI checkboxes in the casting. The original team was 3 men and 1 woman so that is correct. I'm not sure why they felt the need to leave his wife off the team other than to get another checkmark DEI POC in the casting. Well acted and cinematography. The core story is pretty accurate but there is the usual inclusion of a lot of scenes that never happened, and they are all pretty obvious. Also some unnecessary changes to the story that didn't need to be done. Still a good story overall and a well made movie worth watching in my opinion.
