TORONTO - Actors Christian Bale and Matt Damon say they have a newfound respect for racecar drivers after making “Ford v Ferrari”, based on the true story of the battle between the car makers at the 1966 Le Mans.
The movie, shown at the Toronto Film Festival on Monday, chronicles Ford Motor Co’s bid to build a race car to beat Ferrari at Le Mans, a race it dominated for years. The team signs British racer Ken Miles to drive the Ford GT40, and in just 90 days the two companies are facing off in Le Mans, the oldest and most challenging endurance auto race.
“So what these guys were doing is nuts, going 230 miles an hour and not knowing whether or not you could stop the car. It’s a kind of a special breed of person to do that,” he added.“ got to go and be on the track with some of the best racers in the world,” he said. “But would never dare to assume that I could compete with these absolute gods of racing that we had on set.”
