You know the film isn't totally accurate right?

[@dylangalvin98]

@@mfelix2183 it's not. But the #1 car not winning due to it's starting location was entirely accurate.

[@LICobra]

Shelby should have never asked Ken to slow down and wait for the other GT40's to catch up ....in another documentary carroll said he always regretted that decision...Ken deserved to win the triple crown that year.

[@mathisprigent5451]

@@LICobra triple crown??

[@brendonmadden-smith]

The #1 Ford (Miles/Hulme) only caught up to the #2 Ford (McLaren/Amon) after all the Ford entries were ordered to slow down, and Miles ignored the order and kept pushing. This was before the order went out for the Fords to finish together. If the cars were left to race, the #2 Ford would have won comfortably.

[@davefesse-bouc8756]

@@lakartecim2176 No, it's not exact. Before the end of the race, the ACO (organisator) said to Ford there could not be 2 cars winners but only one, and in case of strict dead heat, the car who made the longest distance will be the winner. So Ford knew that BEFORE THE END OF THE RACE and decided to let the victory to Mclaren-Amon. So Ford is the only responsible.

[@davefesse-bouc8756]

Don't forget 1969 with the incredible finish between Ickx (Ford GT40) and Hermann (Porsche 908). A nice movie could be done with this other story at Le Mans. Jacky Ickx winner after starting last to fasten seat belt (because of Willy Mairesse accident in 1968 followed by his suicide) 1966 : McLaren-Amon / 1967 : Gurney-AJ Foyt / 1968 : Rodriguez - Bianchi / 1969 : Ickx - Oliver.

[@andrewhigdon8346]

Fools? Fools? Surely there is a better description. Fool denotes the uninformed. These guys were hyper-informed, calculated, and took risk with some experience to give them the confidence to push harder. Yes, in hindsight, we are all fools for doing things now which were not long ago widely accepted as healthy. Such is hindsight. But these guy were not fools. Were the Apollo Astronauts fools? Surely more so than these guys. At least if these guys got something wrong they didn’t hurdle through the upper atmosphere towards the earth with their craft on fire and every odd against their survival after flopping into the ocean. So hit the water at 300mph or a wall at 170.

[@Pulsonar]

Dave Fesse-Bouc Yes, Ickx walked to his car in protest, buckled up his seat belt properly and was last to start his car and he still won the race quite amazing. They abandoned the traditional running start the year after that.

[@inquisitor229]

Excellent clip, and thanks for uploading. However we must assume the commentator was given a script to read without knowing the true story of the race. The Ken Miles and Denny Hulme #1 led the race for much of the Sunday, the black #2 didn't lead despite what you hear on the footage.

It had it all in 1966 !!Shelby did a great job on this, had enzo fuming

[@Loulovesspeed]

@FortMetallica - Phil Remington made changes in the shape and location of the intake scoops, which added 70 HP to the car!

[@beagle7622]

Check the facts instead, or the Chris Amon recent interview before he passed away. Also Miles had a really really quick Co driver Denis Hulme the 1967 World Champion hardly mentioned here.The 2 car was 53 seconds ahead around 11am when all the the Fords were told to slow down. One didn’t the No 1 car & passed the 2 car. The 2 car changed from Firestone to Goodyear tyres late the first day when they couldn’t get the Firestones to work on the GT. This film has stirred an unnecessary hornets nest. All these drivers were highly competitive drivers. I saw 3 of them a number of times, they were all racers. I am angry at the language being used about particularly Bruce McLaren the driver that did follow team orders . I love the GT have since I was a 13 year old in 66. Bruce is in my autograph book as is both Denny & Chris. They were 3 of the top drivers in the world at that time. I am angry at the way Lorenzo Bandini was betrayed in this film,He was consistent & smart Formula 1 driver, the Ford was nearly 20 mph faster, so there was no head to head drag down the straight! Had a chance to have a good look at the Gulf GT40 in 1975, an amazing car.I am really glad Chris Amon never saw the Ford versus Ferrari film.He passed away. In 2018 I believe.

Beebee manipulated the Duce because he hated Miles from go and he was an image marketer not an engineer purist racer like Miles and Carol. Mostly Miles and it hurt him to the core. The Mach III didn’t have lift issues. His kid pointed out they were two laps up Miles second stint he only went a lap or two but was puking he had to get out. He said put the kid in i jumped, went two laps Miles got back in for two, the stewards pointed out that once out in exchange 1st driver cant get back in. He was penalized the laps and the kid got to do a full stint which was harrowing and untold but for the European press that morning. And to his kid; your mom made me run and grab you she didn’t want you to see him in that condition, you were consoled in the reminder that he loved you a did she.

Look, i know many of you are here after watching the movie, but the movie doesn't giver all the facts and it's very pro-American leaning. Bruce McLaren also has an outstanding life story himself. The fact is that the No. 2 Ford McLaren/Amon had a very bad start of the race as they where on untested Firestone tires and lost allot of ground. Later in the race they switched to Goodyear and started catching up and gain the lead. They have lead until team orders where given to all Fords to slow down, so they did...Ken Miles did not slowed down and took the lead. The end is history and you all know it. Who deserved more, it's your own personal opinion...but Bruce McLaren it's one of the best drivers and team owners in history.Guy started from scratch and...he's both Ken Miles and Carol Shelby in one person.

Le Mans del 1966 fu vinta da una Lola powered by Ford e non già da una Ford. L'apporto di Shelby fu determinante, ma la macchina fu progettata e sviluppata da Eric Broadley patron della Lola Cars International Ltd su incarico di Henry Ford II, che ci mise tutti i soldi, ma che senza Broadley non ci sarebbe mai riuscito, neanche con l'apporto determinante di Shelby

[@girolamosorriso6980]

Da qualche parte, tuttavia, mi pare di aver letto che Broadley abbandonò il progetto per forti divergenze di opinione con i manager della Ford. Egli avrebbe voluto realizzare una scocca in lega leggera di alluminio mentre alla Ford pensavano (come in effetti avvenne) di realizzare una scocca in acciaio per potere successivamente costruire una gt stradale. La fondazione della Lola avvenne proprio in conseguenza dell'abbandonò di Broadley del progetto.

[@pietrobelotti6207]

@@girolamosorriso6980 la Lola Cars venne fondata da Broadley nel 1958. Effettivamente, nel corso dello sviluppo del progetto originale della GT40, Eric Broadley lasciò la collaborazione con la Ford, però la vettura era ormai definita, anche se poi lo sviluppo continuò con l'apporto determinante di Shelby.
