'Ford vs. Ferrari' is based on the true events of the rivalry between the two car makers who went head-to-head at Le Mans in 1966, but misses out one of the strangest true stories.
portrays automobile designer Carroll Shelby, both of whom were real people, hired by Henry Ford II to design and drive a supercar that could beat Ferrari at the legendary endurance race after Ferrari refused an offer from Ford to buy the Italian company. Ford failed in this mission in 1964 and 1965, and so the 1966 race was considered by many the last chance for the Americans to win.
This article reveals that:"In reality, and in the movie, Ford swept the podium at Le Mans not because Miles outraced Ferrari but because the Italian cars all broke down and the Ford cars excelled. The true drama of the race was in the engineering, a subject to which Mangold paid scant attention.
