Its a shame he bankrupted a racing giants company over not paying for the cars he ordered. Sir John Surtees car company, he took them to cleaners did Mr Garner. He slipped down the road when l found this out.

This was great. Thank you. Ford would go on to close the decade of the 1960s by denying Porsche their first win in the greatest finish in Lemans history in June. David Hobbs was part of that team finishing third. Great film.

When Formula A became F5000 I got to see Dick Smothers race in Seattle. I forget who won, but DS was a competent driver and brought his car home in one piece. I'm thinking it was '72 as they still had the tall wings.

Makes you think. Must be thousands of workers, in the factory, machine shop, designers and the software they use, and staff, pit crew. drivers, and the boy who brings the cans of drinks round, all of whom must do their job without a mistake for the team to win at Le Mans. If any one of those makes a mistake, the repercussions down the line can make a win into a loss. I know, having run a race team of Me (driver, mechanic, constructor, tea maker, campervan and trailer driver) and wife (also driver, mechanic (except cam timing she could never get the hang of) constructor (except welding) tea maker, sandwich maker {very good} campervan and trailer driver, navigator, chocolate bar buyer, ---- the list goes on and on. If you forget something that lies at home on the workbench, and that's just what you need at the circuit, you are stuck! Now you imagine the complexity of running a professional team of 3 or 4 cars, gosh that really does need everyone to do their job! So well done all you guys, must be wonderful to stand on that podium in front of that huge Le Mans crowd.

Watch Adam Corolla’s “The Racing Life of Paul Newman”. You’ll get to know the real Paul Newman. He was a race car driver that did movies on the side. He was very humble.

I enjoyed this documentary and it is probably the fourth or fifth time that I watched it I have a 1966 Ford GT Superformance reproduction, then I purchased a 2005 Ford Gt, and finally a 2021 Ford GT, so this film is special to me It would be impossible to me which will be my preferred of the three

No wonder that the famous driver from Torrance, California: Parnelli Jones is still around at 90 (as of 3-1-2024)...The long endurance races like "The Baja" makes many strength up over the years. This is an interesting film...Don't think I've seen it before. Garner was great to listen to...just like P.L. Newman was.

For one, I am and always will be a James Garner fan. But, ...I can't help but think the purpose of him making this documentary was to recoup ,at least some of the money, he had to have lost in this racing venture of his. Race cars, mechanics, drivers on payroll travel,etc etc etc and no big wins. Just disappointment after disappointment. RIP James
