[Closed] Ford v Ferrari thoughts?? (possible small spoilers?)

I didn't know that!

Thanks for the information - they really didn't cover the fact that even when Shelby took over it was still very much a full team effort at Ford.

LeMans

The car was tested and improved by the chassis people. The engine package was tested on a Dynamometer, the engine, clutch, transmission and transaxle were tested under race condition loads. A simulator was programmed to test the engine package at race wining speeds around the LeMans track. In order to do this 24 hours a day a Dynamometer was utilized. Ford knew if the car would hold up the engine would win the race.

Amazing information that you've provided..Thank-you George.

That is fascinating!

Thank you for sharing this! Were there any problems that developed during the 48 hour test that didn't come up during the 24 hour test?

I saw it yesterday, and my impresion is it was a pretty good movie.

I won't pretend to know all the historical facts like some of you guys do. If it was intended to be a documentary type movie, I guess I agree with some of you it missed the mark. I've seen most of the recent racing movies like Rush and enjoyed that one. I guess I would prefer to see more documentaries about auto racing like "Senna" and there was one about Paul Newman but I forget the name of it. The documentary about Patrick Dempsey and his race team getting to LeMans that was made a few years ago is also pretty good. For F1 fans Amazon Prime did one last year but for the life of me I can't remember the title, I know they did one on the current 2019 season but it hasn't come out yet.
