Nominated this year for four Academy Awards including Best Picture, the film "Ford v Ferrari" tells the story of the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, the world's most prestigious endurance race. While the movie covers the race's underlying rivalry between auto giants Ford Motor Company and Ferrari, its true focus is on the two men, played by Matt Damon and Christian Bale, who helped develop Ford's racing program and establish the American automaker as a force to be reckoned with on the track. We highlight the real story of Ford v. Ferrari with some of the details that didn’t make it to the big screen.

@McLarenMercedes 4 года назад

Hawaiian Punch "We all knew who won Le Mans that year" Yes, Dan Gurney. He was easily leading the race when he retired with technical issues on his Ford GT40 with only 6 hours to go. It was also Dan Gurney (not Ken Miles) who did the fastest lap in the race, and also in qualifying for that matter. In 1967 Gurney came back to LeMans and won it in great style and managed a (then) record 388 laps compared to the 360 laps of the winners in 1966. Miles inherited the lead when Gurney's radiator started leaking. The movie completely omits this part. And yes Dan Gurney won races in Formula 1, Indycars, Nascar, Can-Am, Trans-Am, LeMans and Daytona.

@zabaleta66 3 года назад

@@McLarenMercedes Gurney was the fastest but you have to finish the race. McLaren/Amon were worthy winners, after all they were also well ahead when the team orders to finish together were given, which they complied with. Miles ignored the orders and only buttoned off at the end. The race also had finished earlier on the last lap at 4pm....the photo finish being purely a publicity stunt.

@rumblefish9 3 года назад

That isnt the triple crown. The official Triple crown is Monaco GP or F1 title, LeMans 24h and Indy 500. This is endurance racing triple crown of LeMans 24h, Sebring 12h and Daytona 24h.

No one mentioned the British engineer John Wyer who basically perfected the GT40 and getting rid of the bad handling and engineered the car to win Le Mans. He also helped Porsche in building the iconic 917 Porsche car that won their first Le Mans in 1970 and 1971, this victory literally made the company the most successful car manufacturer in Le Mans after being an underdog for 20 years.

@Loulovesspeed Год назад

@@ramal5708 Actually, Wyer didn't perfect the GT40, but was involved in its early development. He disagreed with Roy Lunn, Ford's Chief Design Engineer for the GT40 in some critical issues including which power plant to be used. The car was "perfected" by Shelby American, Kar Kraft and Holman-Moody and only then did it become a winner.

I honestly think someone had Miles killed & made it look like it was accident on a test track. Someone got paid handsomely to tamper his car. Cmon....Mile's knows his car very well. Damn, I been driving for 20 years & if I can feel something's not right just by driving a family car then....200% Miles can tell & know how to drive back in safely as soon as he felt it wasn't right. Even I felt the tyres & brakes wasn't safe in my friend's car once on a freeway & immediately chose gear down & brake slowly on the grass path. Cos if I brake any faster in the middle of a freeway, I can end up in a wall or hurting some other drivers. You just have these instinct & experience. FORD knew he was reckless, dangerous, stubborn after that season. Ford already got what they want. Speed, Reputation & sales. Don't need someone like him to tear it all down the years to follow.

Important correction: Ferrari entered only 2 factory cars in '66 Le Mans not because confident to win, only because that's what Ferrari had at the time to race at Le Mans. That's the reason Enzo wanted to sell production area to Ford, racing both in F1 and prototypes was beyond Ferrari budget, that's why they had a very limited production of the P-serie models, recycling when possible chassis and body parts. This movie is about an underdog trying to beat a giant, but the underdog wasn't Ford.

@Loulovesspeed 3 года назад

If you are truly proud to be an American, then you should try reading the truth as to what transpired in that famous finish line fiasco. It was the governing body, The A.C.O. that screwed Miles - not Ford. While you can take issue with Ford's idea for the 3 car finish, they were smart enough to get approval from the ACO before proceeding with it. The ACO initially said "no problem". Unfortunately, they changed their mind at the end of the race, and that is what screwed Miles out of his deserved win. Put the blame where it belongs!

Read Bout this in a Shelby book and this story stands out. Miles had that seat of the pants feel for driving, power and most Important, the handling of the car. Shelbys other talent was his crew, The right people ,the right time and the will to succeed

The triple crown of motorsports is actually Monaco, Indy 500, and Le Mans, and the only man to this day to own it is Graham Hill. The triple crown of Motorsports is often confused with the triple crown of endurance racing.

Not Miles, not Shelby. Phil Remington was the true innovator and mind behind the GT40 program. Nobody did more for this program than Phil.

@redwankabir8506 4 года назад

It was miles and Shelby who made the car go faster it had a shelby engine and Miles made it go faster.

@Loulovesspeed 4 года назад

@Redwan Kabir - Actually, the GT40 didn't have a "Shelby" engine as you say, but rather a NASCAR engine that was slightly de tuned and reworked for endurance racing by the other major contributor to the car's success - Holman-Moody.

@dohcsmr1175 4 года назад

Loulovesspeed The MkII and MkIIII did have a NASCAR type of motor that was detuned. It was an Aluminum block and heads. The NASCAR motor was iron. Phil Remington was in the wind tunnel 3 months before the 67 LeMans race making changes to the MkIIII body and developed the brake change system of replacing the disk and calipers in a minute and a half. Yes Miles did most of the testing and recognized what needed to be changed but it was Rems fabrication skills and talents that made the GT40 program successful. Ford vs Ferrari is a good movie. It just is not about racing as much as the Ford Machine and how Miles was robbed of the triple crown of endurance racing. All Shelby engines were basic American hot rod motors. This is what makes this story so interesting. A bunch of hot Rod mechanics took a car that was basically hacked by the British, given to Shelby and his hot rod crew, completely rebuilt it and won the 24 hour of LeMans 66 and 67.

@Dohc SMR - Thanks, but I already knew that! Actually, it had aluminum heads but a cast iron block.

Nice to see someone giving Remington his due. I've a second cousin that is married to Phil's only daughter, Kati. Sadly, I never met Phil, but I've been in his home, and I made it to his huge Memorial Service at the Riverside International Raceway Museum. Talk about a who's who of motorsport folks in attendance.

So in general, Ferrari is very arrogant. Wasn't it the same company that insulted an owner of a business to stick with just building Tractors. Annoyed business man built Lamborghini Super Cars to spite.

@baduploadschedule1015 4 года назад

If you knew the real situation then you would have known that it all started by Ferrari needing to sell because they were basically bankrupt, Ford offerd to buy, Enzo was happy with selling the comapany but he wanted to retain control of Ferrari’s racing team, however the contract handed to him basically meant that he would lose control of the racing team, he highlighted the section that stated that with a large NO and them stormed out of the room, this video doesn’t picture the whole story

@Flame Resistant Troll - You're 100% right! I'm a Senior and can't help but notice this disturbing trend with the younger set. When I was their age, you only had books to get information from. Now it seems they are just too lazy to do anything that sounds like research, or would rather relate their own, unfounded feelings about history or take whatever their friends say as gospel. It's a very scary happening!

@bluzshadez 4 года назад

@@Loulovesspeed I agree with you too! Learning from books, Encyclopedias, Dictionaries and other printed reliable materials was better. I had to go to the National Library just to be able to photocopy contents of books which I needed. You are right to say that some young people "lost the ability to think for themselves." They are called SHEEPLE because they are easily "herded." I was always trained to question the facts. Most of those young ones can't even spell without SPELL CHECK or GRAMMARLY. A girl from work does not even know when to use Apostrophe S. She thought it was for Plural Form. Anybody and Everybody can edit WIKIPEDIA. I don't use that because some of the information is not accurate. God bless you! They think that being ale to Google information is a skill. In a few more years, that generation will lead different countries. This is very alarming.

@Loulovesspeed 4 года назад

@bluzshadez - From that standpoint, I don't feel bad about being in my later years of life. I embrace the time period I grew up in that much more as I look at the many disturbing trends present today.

@SeaMonkey137 2 года назад

I certainly wasn't there, and I don't want to be one of the "I had a buddy who..." guys, but my dad raced with a lot of Holman Moody parts in the 60s/70s and constantly heard the stories about how Ford treated its racing partners. Hollywood is Hollywood and it creates drama. But from what I remember dad telling me all those years, and after watching the movie, I came away thinking Shelby and Miles were pretty spot on, Iacocca was probably more overt than portrayed, and Beebe was every bit the snake he looked to be. Miles was screwed, but by Ford and not the FIA. They spent $9M for that photo of the three Mk2s crossing the line together. And by the way, according to Evans Frankenheimer, Lorenzo Bandini was a very delightful and funny guy to be around, unlike his character in the movie.
