    ...except the part where they gloss over the whole point of the movie, how the car's design couldn't have been competitive without Ken Miles' input, how no ford would have beaten the last remaining Ferrari without Ken Miles forcing the Ferrari's driver to push the Ferrari car past it's limit and break down by out driving the Ferrari, and how Ken Miles actually had to slow down to let the other fords catch up. Basically, Ken Miles rightfully won that race for ford three different ways and ford wouldn't even give him credit so I gotta disagree about the first class doco point. I'd say that was a low class move by ford. I mean it's a ford documentary, so as fun as it was to watch, it's obviously biased. It's just good those points were finally made in a meaningful way.... and the movie turned out great - probably the best car/racing flick of all time.

    @@TheAstrojoe62 agreed, yes, it was a bit like Apollo 13. Liberties were taken to improve the drama which didn't happen in real life - for example the scene where the 3 astronauts started going at each other's throats as to who caused the major oxy tank explosion. According to Jim Lovell it never happened. Same deal in the Ford/Ferrari movie... the Ferrari's were completely out of the hunt by 3am, all gone, kaput. There was no great dice with Bandini for the lead. And indeed it was Bruce McLaren who was leading handsomely going into Hour 21 who voluntarily slowed to make the dead heat happen. Miles caught him and refused to slow down, creating an artificial lead for himself. Once you know that, you can understand why Miles slowed down in the final hour and then deliberately hit the picks with 100m to the finish and let Bruce go across the line clearly in first place by 2 car lengths. They were all Shelby-American teammates, and Miles and McLaren drove in the same GT40 Mark II in the 1965 race. And that was an inaccuracy in the film too. Miles was never punted for 1965, he raced in 65 and 66. He was on extremely good terms with Bruce McLaren.

    @@ivanjulian2532 right. I think what we forget in cinema is that it is a visual story telling medium. Visuals often have to speak where dialog would take too long so we get things like them having a fist fight or Enzo being at the track physically. Plus there is a story being told and day to day life rarely has a nice neat beginning, middle and an end. My hope is they catch the essence of the men and the event not the literal historic event itself. I understand that going in and it usually drives me to find the real story. Both I find fascinating and enjoy.

Miles humility in reducing his speed and waiting for the others to catch up just for a photo shoot and the team was one of the greatest selfless actions in racing history.

    Ford wanted all three cars to finish together so it would make a great photo (it did) and sell a bunch of cars. The Le Mans judges didn’t appreciate Ford’s publicity stunt so they ruled McLaren had won because he started further back in the grid and thus covered the greater distance during the race. It was a bs move by the french FIA. They didn’t like the rude Americans winning their precious race. It wasn’t Ford’s fault.

    Thank you very much for this wonderful video. I remember as a young child watching it on Wide World of Sports. I think they had it in '66. I wonder if one of the drivers speaking was Sam Posey? It certainly sounded like him. Also wondered how the driver fared who was in the accident with the fire. Anyway, splendid stuff.

    According to Carrol Shelby it was his idea to have all the Ford's cross the line at the same time, not Henry Ford 2. He said there was no rule for a tie breaker so the LeMans officials came up with the furthest distance traveled. So it was Shelby that slowed Miles down according to his own words and he said he's still sorry. This is an interview when he was much older. He wanted to beat Enzo Ferrari, who he disliked intensely it seems, worse than he'd ever been beaten (slightly paraphrasing). This'll of course was an interview when he was old. It's an interview over an hour long and it's on KZread. It's worth noting that McLaren crossed the finish line first as you'll see near the end of this video. This is a discrepancy that I can't overlook. If McLaren finished 1st then the LeMans officials never had to make any decision.

    I have been going to races since 2nd grade, I am 58. It boggles my mind why people go to a race then don't watch it. The only time I am not watching once it starts is if I am in the pits or in the back with the mechanics. I have never been to an endurance race but have taped or watched every Leman since speed Tv started covering them and before that. It is one of my favorite movies also.

    Ford v Ferrari was a good movie but I remember shooting a few interviews with the late great Chris Amon on the race and despite being a typically humble New Zealander you could tell he was a bit pissed at the whole "Ken Miles was robbed" story that the film repeats. The truth is Amon and McLaren were well ahead of everyone at Le Mans in 1966 and only a few hours from winning the race when Ford told everyone in Ford cars to take it easy for the final part of the race. Running a distant third Miles ignored the instruction and soon took the lead. When they finally got the message for all cars to finish together, something Ferrari had been doing in previous races, Miles finally slowed down so they could do it. McLaren, for whatever reason, gave the car a burst just as they crossed and was clearly over the line first, so the whole no 2 car traveled and extra 8 meters, part of the story was irrelevant.

    Absolutely correct. Chris often told that story, and even Denny Hulme confirmed that the #2 McLaren/Amon was the true winner. And Ken Miles knew that he was running second. Why else would he position his car in second place during the last lap (see 24.40 onwards), and allow McLaren to lead to the finish line.

    Miles was backing off from what I see, down that final shot from the helicopter. The fact is he did not slow down & passed the guys that did. It also looks like he slows just before the line Bruce’s speed was constant. Bruce, Chris & Dennis Hulme were 3 formidable drivers.thats why they were driving Shelby’s cars. Denny was the 1967 F1 World Champion for goodness sake not some second rate driver, hired on the cheap. Denny & Bruce dominated the Can Am series until Bruce was killed. This is wrong there should be a statement put out on the film that there were team orders put out around 11 am telling the cars to slow down which was either missed or ignored by Ken Miles. Bruce McLaren had a family imagine being dragged through this.after all these years.
