Such an honor having the Stig in the chair!

[@danielcrane1682]

Ed, would you have ever imagined you'd have the Stig on your channel when you first started?

[@VINwiki]

Absolutely not. Still pinching myself.

[@xxxDeaDLocKxxx]

Can't imagine that the actual Stig would make a good storyteller.

[@Joe2328]

Doubt it, the insecure little wannabe was supposed to stay anonymous. He was a lot more interesting before he took his helmet off and ruined the whole thing he was being paid to do. Bloke is a bellend who couldn't cope with being in the background like he was supposed to

Ben is an international asset. Protect this man at all costs

[@boriss.861]

My Father knew Moss, Hawthorne & Fangio, and with what Ben said about Sterling Moss, Mike Hawthorne & Fangio was correct but Fangio turned it up to 11. He was Italian, Moss was so professional and Mike Motorcycles and Cars true Motor Nut.

[@willbeasy2898]

Fangio was Argentinian.

[@Fastvoice]

@@willbeasy2898 ... and it was Stirling Moss, not Sterling. I smell a bunch of BS.

[@ouroesa]

That last crash looks sooo bad. Car crashing into the concrete marker and then a second later started flying off into the air, cuts to a very cheap looking CGI Waht were they thinking 😬

[@BloatedGopher]

Ferrari must have been running helium in those tires. 😄

[@UberLummox]

Right?! Makes me not wanna see it. That stuff drives me bat$hit.

[@simonamos5426]

The cgi is bad. Very bad. But the immediate following tragic scene was enough to make me ignore the terrible cgi.

[@JonnyOpinionated]

I had know the history of the events portrayed in the film prior to seeing it in the theatre. How it was handled and depicted was mind blowing, I didn't even think the crash would have been shown in the way it was. Similarly I cannot imaging a film will ever show the 1955 Le Mans horror. But hearing the audience react in an honest and visceral way, the gasps and even one woman weeping - I could hear/feel them thinking "I had no idea, I cannot believe this actually happened. How can these events have happened?" ...is all a testament to the filmmaking prowess of everyone involved.

[@taurincochran3398]

The photo of Sterling Martin, in the cockpit of his car, drinking a cuppa...classic!❤

[@TheCannonball79]

Thanks for a great story Ben.

[@cpt_nordbart]

I've seen visual artists react to that fliping scene( corridor crew)It is very grimm and a could have had a bit more polish to better sell it. The CGI wasn't that great but given that this has actually happened somewhat like this is brutal.

[@LittleBigMediaCo]

I once had to film a plane landing, with a camera on the runway angled up at 30 degrees. Asked the pilot to try hit the camera with the front wheel ... first try he hit the camera dead centre and destroyed it. Next take I asked him to try just missing the camera. Never underestimate an experts ability to do exactly what you ask them to.

[@curtthemk2kid235]

Why on earth did they CGI in the car hitting the telegraph pole 😅 it looks ridiculous!!!

[@watsisbuttndo829]

Agreed, so many times the CGI guys dont seem to ask the people who have seen crashes "does this look real?". Ben said it looked " playstation", he was right.

[@MPPJ1931]

Because that's what's actually happened.

[@johnmadden2421]

New Zealand rally driver Neil Allport, with a reputation for massive crashes, lost it on a downhill section of a rallysprint in South Auckland and cut a power pole in half. Admittedly downhill and only half way up the pole, but even that seemed unbelievable to some who saw it.

[@curtthemk2kid235]

@MPPJ1931 I know but this is clearly CGI and looked S H I T 😅

[@McDevittK]

Top notch as always from VINwiki! When will we see Rob Pitts again, amazing storyteller.

Sterling Moss. First Lotus F1 winner in an 18, Watkins Glen.

[@zalbert1098]

sorry to tell you ben but the crash scene with the car flying into the crowd looks so bad it ruined a movie for me a bit, looked crap :/

[@briandonovan5434]

Corridor crew watching this hoping they guessed it right!

[@wallyr.7854]

As a Ferrari owner and a lifetime car aficionado, I absolutely loved the Ferrari film. Sadly, as we all know the movie bombed at the box office. People rather watch stupid superhero movies than watch an epic film about and iconic man who started without a doubt, one of the most famous car brands in the world. It’s too bad, because the acting was truly fantastic and yes although the film moves at a slow pace at first, it’s because it’s based on a period of time in the life of a real man and it dives deep into his personal life. As for the racing scenes, well Ben just explained it best from the inside. If you have not watched the film Ferrari, do yourself a favor and watch it tonight.

[@awesomecooly123]

I agree, I enjoyed the movie very much. The only pitfall was the crash scenes were exaggerated beyond reality and looked comical.

[@OG-Jakey]

Is it as good as Ford vs Ferrari? I really despise modern movies, the art of proper cinematography and even acting seems to have died for the most part but Ford vs Ferrari was an exception.

[@wallyr.7854]

@@OG-Jakey I’d say almost as good. Ford vs Ferrari had a faster pace (pun intended) and bigger name stars, which in my opinion were perfectly cast. Having said that, give Ferrari a watch.

[@babyeater4623]

This is the first time I’m even hearing about the movie but looks cool

[@willbeasy2898]

I didn’t realise it bombed. I must admit, I had intended to see it, but never got around to going to the cinema. I think Ford vs Ferrari left a bad taste in my mouth.

[@commontater652]

ONE of the Stigs. Still pretty cool.

[@wobblysauce]

11:20, that point of the car hitting the pole still looks out of place, it doesn't fit visually.

I like the story of Stirling Moss at Bathurst whilst he was chatting up a pretty nurse when a wombat ran out of the darkness and took Stirling’s legs out from under him.

[@gillesthibault429]

[@jonlyons1033]

The telegraph pole but does look fake. Nice when your visual instincts are backed up. Interesting insight though.

[@jrfish007]

11:03 Amazing stunt, too bad they replaced the car with (rather substandard) CGI in postproduction.

[@FluffyFerretFarm]

[@synthWizkid]

That movie was a tragedy. Oh well. You can never do that true story any justice in recreation.

[@f.kieranfinney457]

Too bad they couldn’t make the rest of the movie any good.

[@simonamos5426]

A lot of people comment on the pour cgi, personally i feel its such a small part of the movie its irrelevant.

[@badad0166]

I agree on the PlayStation comment. Spend all that time making a beautiful practical and then make it all appear like its all CGI. Cartoony stuff takes me out.

[@DaleGribblesHat]

Caterham should've sued Ferrari for misrepresenting their cars with a Ferrari body and devaluing their name for the lulz.

[@simarpreetsingh6283]

Ed can you get the new Aussie top gear host. He also has a KZbin channel called mightycarmods

[@kramnam4716]

Fascinating to hear Ben speaking about Stirling. Ben is a proper fella. Makes you realise what a bunch of clowns the top gear lot are.

[@simtalkayak]

I wonder if it's possible to get a copy of those shells.. they'd make a lovely Sunday runabout. It's a bit of a pity that the crash at the beginning, on the test track and in the mille miglia looked a bit too.. Hollywood. They were a bit too over exaggerated in my opinion.

[@ShootingAir]

Shame that all the effort spent on trying to recreate the era was shat all over by the 5th grade level writing/storytelling. Another one of those "could have been epic" movies, such a shame....

[@dingmanracing]

The crash CGI ruined the scene. Fast and furious video game stuff. Why did they even do a real crash…then CGI it…utterly ridiculously fake..STUPID..SMMFH???

[@ded32]

Sorry but, that Ferrari movie was fake... Cars were odd and they didn't do it.

[@OttoTheWeim]

Ferrari is absolutely THE worst car company currently in business. They are extremely owner unfriendly and they are the worst enthusiast car built today. They continue to skate by on Enzo’s legacy and continue to piss it away.

[@rahulsudhir666]

This was probably true about a decade ago n I too hated their modus operandi. But now they realise that opening up to the clients can really bring in the big bucks. They also seem to have opened up to let owners opt for a whole bunch of new colours compared to what they had in the 90s. There was a time they said their cars would never be offered in purple or green but now they do. They learnt a bit late that they could rake in much more if they increased production numbers abit as well as open up to new markets such as China where there are a lot of wealthy potential clientele. That's why they're the most profitable auto manufacturer that's almost 5x that of the manufacturer that comes in 2nd place, which was Porsche.

[@ValladolidArde]

true, just look at the crap they are churning out now, WHY on earth did they blacklist pininfarina for the Glickenhaus stunt.... it still bewilders me

[@rahulsudhir666]

@@ValladolidArde They didn't essentially blacklist Pininfarina. That issue was ironed out soon. The real reason supposedly is because Ferrari wanted Pininfarina to exclusively design for them n that wouldn't have been good for Pininfarina who were not doin great financially. Also keep in mind that Pininfarina designs stuff like pens, appliances etc other than cars for Alfa Romeo, Maserati n others. Imagine the state of your business designing just 3-4 cars every 10 years. In my opinion the 458 Italia/Speciale was the last car from Ferrari that was truly timeless in terms of design.
