Matt Damon got the voice right in ford vs ferrari

[@andrewcrowder4958]

I think Damon is too often regarded as a movie star, a celebrity; but he’s a fine actor; he’s underrated. Brilliant in Invictus. Miscast in Oppenheimer, but a fine performance. Listen to Shelby here. Pure Texas Irish. “Furtherest” is not bad grammar, it’s pure Elizabethan English, handed down across six or seven generations.

Rest in peace, Ken

[@jtames9040]

May God Jesus Christ rest his soul in peace. the truth in life is in the ORTHODOX christianity religion, it is the original and true form of christianity that Jesus taught us when he came to earth, and we believe in our religion that after death God takes the soul of the just Orthodox Christians and puts it in eternal life. and you can feel God through the holy sacraments after baptism , confession and holy communion in the orthodox christian church, something that completely changes your life and turns you into a happier person with a meaningful life and also saves you by strengthening your bond with God. Become an orthodox christian, get baptised and live a spiritual life (repentance- confession to the priest and holy communion) Spread the word and positivity and God Bless !

The vast majority of people don't realize that, as you pretty much have to have racing blood in your veins for that. It's not about the win, it's about knowing you're the best, which Ken knew, only prideful people that have talent (or insane money and training) care about the win, because they think that's how they prove they're the best.

Daytona, Sebring & Le Mans aren't the Triple Crown, brother. Yes, they were the races that happened in a year, but, it was and is 24H Le Mans, Indy 500 and the Monaco Grand Prix of Formula One that is considered as the Triple Crown of racing. First to do was Graham Hill.

The movie Ford V Ferrari portrayed the “1 2 3” idea somewhat differently, giving the impression that Shelby was against the idea. Then Shelby giving the decision to Ken Miles to “make that photograph happen” or not. This may just be a matter of semantics and/or theatrical license. I don’t know anything about the 1960’s Le Mans rule book. Carroll Shelby and Ken miles, two great men and racing legends.

[@Brock_Landers]

Bruce McLaren did not win the 66 LeMans, Ken Miles was a lap ahead of the 2nd and 3rd place GT40s and he intentionally slowed down to allow the three GT40s to cross the line 1, 2, and 3 all at the same time for the Duece. Ken was literally cheated out of a triple crown win for winning all three major races that year by a ridiculous technicality. That's why Carroll felt bad about asking Ken to slow down to allow the #2&3 GT40s to catch up to please the Duece.
