Looks promising but I sure don't see Damon as Shelby. Maybe Bale as Miles... now I know why they were waving the green flag at Indy.
Some of the "crashes" on the trailer remind me of "Driven." And that is NOT a good sign!!
Will take a lot to do better than Daniel Bruhl as Niki...

I'm very much looking forward to this movie. I hope that at elast include SOME of the real history over "let just make it hollywood drama."
But either way, my butt will be in a theater seat for it.

I'd settle for being able to go back just to NOT SELL all the cars I sold for peanuts over the years.
Also...I'd complain about the 550 Spyder with the Buick V6 in the ad above, but that seems a little hypocritical given my circumstances
.
Can't wait for the movie though. Sounds like a good one.

Apparently this movie is based on "Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans" by A. J. Baime. I read it a few years ago. It tells the story of Fords attempt to acquire Ferrari and its decision to then beat Ferrari at Lemans. Not a bad book.
I finally got around to watching "Rush" last night. I thought it was fairly good.
Hollywood really has a hard time with auto racing.

Want to see the real Ford GT40 Mark II from ‘Ford v. Ferrari’? It’s in a Utah movie theater lobby.

This is such an inspirational story, finally a Goliath beats David movie!
It is exciting to watch Ford spend millions of dollars to show il Commendatore of Maranello who is boss.
When you see the Ford executives at the 1966 running of Le Mans you can’t help but cheer as the 7 liter GT40 outlasts the ugly Ferrari 330P3 with a peashooter 4 liter V12.

Year's ago I interviewed Dr. David Helmick for a story and as an aside he told me he was the team Dr for the GT40 team. Ford was spending sooooo much money that he convinced them to rent a copter to have him in the air and shadowing the cars as they raced, that way if they wrecked he could land and be on site in seconds. Never landed but he said he had the best seat in the house!

Saw this today with the Wife.
We both loved it. There were a couple funny Faux pas that made me go, "how did they miss that..." Most of the people there wouldn't have caught them, but it didn't hurt the movie.

There was one thing that they did that wasn't accurate. From my reading the word was that Enzo never went to the track but listened by radio from the Factory in Modena. It made for better movie magic to have him watching at Le Mans but I don't think it happened that way.

Saw yesterday on IMAX. The 3 of us probably comprised a third of the total viewing audience in the theater for a midweek, midday showing. Almost like a private viewing
As mentioned, a couple of minor inaccuracies and it got slow in a couple of the human interest scenes, but didn't detract from the overall great story and really well executed movie. Lot's of shots included Porsches.
Only true petrol heads or those who boned up on their history in advance will anticipate the ending. On par with "Rush" and "Senna". "Le Mans" is still the gold standard, IMO. Two thumbs up and would definitely see again.

I cringed at the outside pass at Willow turn 9.. I was waiting on the grid when this happened:

...went off of #9 WSIR in the days of narrow-body biturbo / 7" steelies +slicks . The L/rear slick blew while powering into the turn so my exit into the dirt was immediate left (driver side) tarmac. Wild ride indeed...lucky just several flat spins...this was prior to the updated widened turn 9.

We saw the movie today. Shar and I both enjoyed it. Probably more than Rush. The CGI wasn't a huge distraction. And I didn't have any trouble with Damon as Shelby. Worth watching for sure.

Saw it last night with the whole fam. Took my dad, he likes cars but not as much as a gearhead as I am. He recalled the story of Ford trying to purchase Ferrari back in the day, but knew nothing of the result and implications. Wife and my two girls enjoyed it too..

Good film, but I wish film makers wouldn't get sucked into the 'fast and furious' gear changes, close-ups of speedometer needles heading off the scale and drivers staring at each other at 200+mph on the Mulsanne... Also, the '90 days to build it' was the timescale for the Daytona Cobra, not the GT40.
But as car films go, not bad at all. However, watch 'The 24 hour war' on Netflix for the real deal...

Over at the Petersen Museum today for a Sunday Cruise-in, they were celebrating the Ford, Cobra and Mustang marque. Also a panel discussion by several top notch Ford people like; Pete Brock, Peter Miles, Bruce Meyers, Aaron Shelby, Allan Grant, Charlie Agapiou, Lenny Shabes, and A. J. Baime.
They also displayed some of the Movie cars, the faux GT40s, a very cool green Porsche (906 long tail). They only used a real GT40 for the celebrity up close shots...the action cars were mostly Superformance tributes, or Hollywood studio stunt cars, with LS1 Chev v8 power. Sound tracks were dubbed in studio. The paint on the faux Porsche was perfect.
