Shorly regardless of ford fiddling the results the fact that it was decided someone starting further down the grid has covered more ground is wrong. Your race only starts when you cross the start line . The same as when you finish .

There could have been a third contender. Facel Vega, known for their Crysler engined luxury cars. They had a prototype 80% complete when they went bankrupt in 1964.

Doesn't properly answer what really happened.

USA! USA! USA! 🇺🇸💪

So yeah indeed it was sabotage

Sylvester Stallone and Emile Hirsch

I would like to see a prequel on the Cobra Daytona GT winning it's class at Daytona and La Mans.

The american "showy" side ruined the race.

Let's not forget that the GT40 was, (After Shelby got a hold of it), a quintessential American hot rod.

Those were incredible cars back then

Why is the Welshman chatting with a cockney accent?😂

And we did just because we wanted too

The reality is not a movie...

I just wish Carrol Shelby was still alive when the movie was made so that he could critique it.

7:33 _“And that was the McLaren/Amon car, which started _*_well behind_*_ the Miles/Hulme machine.”_ but then you show a photo of the cars lined up at the start, with the #2 car (McLaren/Amon) just 2 spots behind the #1 car (Miles/Hulme)- to “well behind”, since it's just two positions back (so “barely behind” would be accurate). It's true that the #1 car got moving a bit later than many other cars, but that's not relevant here, since the position is judged by distance, not start time. Put another way- if Miles had crossed the finish line just 2 car lengths ahead of the #2 GT40, he would've gotten first by all accounts. Ford could've still gotten their photo finish and he would be #1 if he punched it in the last 10 seconds up to the line.

What I never understood about the finish was that Track officials and historians always mention Miles was up 2 laps over McLaren, so really Miles covered more ground than McLaren regardless of him starting behind Miles. Miles was cheated out of the triple crown

Love the camel livery... iconic

Surely the qualifying times determined the starting position so the car in front deserves the win despite who made the quicker time from behind, if Ken pulled up and let Bruce through so be it..shit call I think ✌🍻

miles was not liked by many of the ford boys so the ending sucks point blank because the real winner did not come first.

I was quite disappointed that the movie didn't cover the Cobra Coupe part of the story. Fords real first win @ LeMans.

58 years later Leo is still responsible for the bruce mclaren accident for the 24 hours of le mans even though ken got robbed all because of ass hat Leo beebe i bet he still regrets it.Ken got robbed all because of a distance rule.

i cant imagine the feelings of peter his son , seeing the movie and how they portrayed the father son relationship making him relive those memories the happy and heartbreaking ones , me myself it was hard to forgive the betrayal and the scheme ford did to ken so I cant even think about the emotions he felt , rip legend ken miles 🕊

LOVE THIS STYUFF, SO DAMN COOL TO WATCH AND LEARN, THHANKS TO EVERYONE WHO WORKED AND SACRIFISED FOR THIS MOVIE AND IN REAL LIFE. !!! K.M.. LIVES FOREVER!!!

USAAC WWII pilot Carroll Shelby and Henry Ford II destroyed Ferrari at Le Mans.

It was a Victory stolen from Ken Miles, the guy was ahead and that clearly states he was the best driver out their. This is typical ford's dirty game yes did the photo finish look good but you screwed the person out of that by cheap tactics

Just love watching old footage of Le Mans, when it was a proper race before it became sanitised

Very funny how Toyota, Porche, Ferrari, Audi and the others commit and win multiple years and Ford spend 10x the budget their rivals and they are the David in the battle.

Can we just appreciate what an incredible man. Helped with engineering etc. but also at such an age was 2+ laps ahead. How was he so much better than Mclaren and co. 🤯👏🏻

It was Shelby's idea to have the cars finish together, not Ford's. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKvUZXebic-NZ6M 1:07:00.

Duct taping the rear bodywork in place . . . The yellow MkIV (Mark Donahue) lost it's rear bodywork. He managed to prop it onto the car and limp back to the pits where it was duct taped in place. As a precaution the bodywork on the Gurney/Foyt car also received the duct tape treatment.

One of the commentators keeps talking about the P4.....(They were quite nice, but...) The Ford Mk IV is one of the most magnificent and beautiful cars ever built! They definitely should make a sequel about this race! "FORD VS FERRARI II"!

In 1967 Ferrari returned the favour in Fords Back yard 24 hr Daytona Ferrari 1/2 with a private Ferrari making 1/2/3 Ford one finished out of six It goes to show it is not about large V8 engines but small V12 [ 4 Lt ] and what you can do with it. In 66 in was Goliath who won in 67 it was David

More like money won as human history demonstrated

Let's not forget Ferrari took out the world championship that year. This Doco is very biased towards Ford. Please tell the whole story

What's with these foreigners talking racing? Everyone knows racing is American!

Amazing cars ferrari 😅, gimme a gt40 for the track though 👌 mk2 cobra 427 full monster 👻

The Daytona is nice

People forget Ferrari was a tiny company making a few hundred cars a year back then, it wasn't yet the behemoth it is today. Ford had to spend millions to beat Ferrari, just shows you want a titan of a racer Ferrari was.

Arrows told Bernoldi to hold him up because they needed the TV exposure money as they were broke

Hearing Bruce Mclaren and Denny Hulme's names was Fantastic, 2 Kiwi's withe the nothing can hold them back attitude, RIP to them both

So really the 66 Le Mans 24 hour belonged to New Zealand, with 3 Kiwi drivers, McLaren, Amon and Denny Hulme with a lone Englishman ,(Ken Miles) for support.😁😁

That's another way at looking at it after all in Australia we have a very strict law about left hand drive card but any car that is right hand drive no problem that will include any vehicle from Japan South Africa and the UK and been right hand drive there would be no problem importing a Ford GT40 into Australia intact there are probably a couple in Australia

Anything of Agostini?

Father can be equal to the son

At 10:30 the photo where Ken miles is shaking Henry Fords the second hand look at the guy in the middle how is looking at Ken miles knowing he should of won

That 2001 Arrows was such a fast car, and that livery was just pure beauty

Amazing!!

When making a movie on actual events there is a little bit of poetic lisense as the finsh of the 1966 LeMans race was in rain were in the finish in Ford verses Ferrari it is in sun shine and the two Ford GT40s in the film they were much closer and we must not forget the Ford GT40 is a british car because its right hand drive if it was a USA car it would have been left hand drive because in most states in Australia you can not import a left hand drive unless its a certian age but you can import any right habd drive car any age into Australia and we get plenty of grey imports from Japan in Australia

A perfect example of failed american arrogance and thank god if loosing a few races means not having automotive hegemony considering design marvels such as the ford zephyr. Lets see ford taking over formula 1😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 The only reason ford ever won was on account of the dollars thrown at it. Ferrari equals passion. And time has proven them right. Enjoy your zephyrs😂

I remember 1966 what a year.
