Ferrari VS Ford: enemies, or that friend?

racing movie, endless roar of exhaust, after watching for a long time listening to people inevitably feel a little bored. The cliche of the story, the protagonist is always hanging open general invincible in half after the movie, so that the car, in the end nothing more than props only.

fast food in general manufacturing, and probably hooked on cinema seats in; just finished reading, on the way out of the cinema may have been almost forgotten.

but now I can responsibly tell you, so many fans care deeply about, “Ford VS Ferrari” (Chinese translation: Speed ​​Schumacher) this is not a movie.

(Ps: This article relates to minor drama based on historical events through objective, fans and friends … emmm … should be safe to eat)

depth class racing movie [ 123]

speak truth, “speed King of cars” could be since 2013 “Amazing romantic” (Rush, tells the story of the late James Hunt and Niki Lauda legendary showdown story), the best racing Films.

This is a story Le Mans 24 Hours race in the story enemies between Ford and Ferrari the 1960s.

It is also a telling Ford in the battle against Ferrari, the Ford team in the story of two close friends.

After the movie, I think as fans from the heart, it has already surpassed Ford VS Ferrari this simple duel, and more let us see the art of VS Business, American cowboy boss crude VS modern European accurate, friendship VS enemies of conflict.

projected picture on the big screen really surprising: in 2019, all things are habitual in our pipeline mode eyes, take our attention when, still have such a movie, there is ingenuity, leaving unimaginative, relying on Christian Bale and Matt Damon two old drama of bone, propped up two and a half hearty hour.

Ford incomingRacing career

concern this movie should be a lot of friends are fans, so I go directly to the topic, do not do too much foreshadowing.

Henry Ford II, the silver spoon child, has a so-called “rich” natural arrogance and stubbornness in the face of 60 years of Ford sales tired, decided to choose by adding to international racing enhance the brand image of the route.

If this sort of story on the 2019, you might think this is a routine operation, just what made the car go to the Nurburgring in Germany two laps to go; but shortly after World War II days, racing is still in the center of Europe, rather than Ford’s birthplace: the United States.

precision of German, British calm, wild eyes of the Italian people, the United States is nothing more than just a circle around the oval running rural cowboy, ran also blowing beer; the ocean here has F1, Le Mans 24 hours, the British Formula One, Rally etc. represents the highest level of competition.

So, Henry II found a Ferrari, Enzo’s response can be said to Henry II is humiliating, because Italy people curse the Americans a pass.

When the arrogant Enzo Ferrari refused to be acquired by Henry II to enhance the brand image, but do both direct title Le Mans 24-hour time, handmade works of art of Prancing Horse, as well as in the production line manufacture of transport from a to B Ford, the pattern of seemingly insurmountable gap between the two carmakers will soon be ushered in tremendous upheaval.

Henry II so small to large what to what, spoiled Tianchong to the people, how the eyes can only put insult from Enzo? “You always just II (second harmonics), rather than your father,” the word went unspoken, cut to the heart of.

Revenge of the sword, once pulled out, but not the red dot, to justify.

Ford look on the time at the height of Carroll Shelby (right, today all the so-called Ford Shelby series, related to him tied upRelations): money, resources, and is not a problem, I just want to win the 24 hours of Le Mans.

Carroll Shelby said the man up quite interesting, a wild cowboy from Texas, converted by Ford’s famous civilian car, and later was the first to win the 24 hours of Le Mans Americans.

accompany Carroll Shelby Ford went through half a century, jointly launched countless classic Ford Shelby, the GT350, the GT500, before he died sections have from the United States share the most primitive the game children.

but after a heart attack in 1964 at Le Mans, let itself go to Shelby Le Mans 24 hours race on cars and drivers are kind of torture limit is approached. Shelby was therefore found a genius, but the character is eccentric wonders of riders, Kenmaiersi.

In the movie, he and his clients are not very good, and his wife are not very good, and the good people at Ford. Anyway, as long as one to deal with people, he told a stupid pig, gas people straight stamping.

But when he put a gear, a clutch loose legs.

[ 123] revenge seems simple enough, but how could easily do it?

Although Ford to find a good money, cars, people, but Ferrari How could easily give in? Black body on red horse in the game Prancing Horse wild accustomed to outsiders want to take away the throne, not first off the two-skin, fear is impossible.

difficulty PK Ferrari beyond imagination


Do not forget, Ferrari 1960s, selling cars is a sideline, racing is the main industry, and today but completely backwards over.

before the acquisition by Fiat, today we talked about the Ferrari 250 GTO, California SWB, 275 GTB, 275 TDF, etc., which is now sold in the auction price of just collectibles, 5, 60 years, either in order to meet tournament rules must be mass-produced car, take the amount of money or is the car, all the money brought into Motorsportdoor.

1960s, from F1 to Le Mans, then to other major European events, Ferrari has meddle, red paint and high engine sound reverberates throughout Europe. If it were not because the car cost is too high, bent Ferrari to concentrate on making civilian car, how to play themselves bankrupt?

This is a 250 chassis to create a series of derivatives over the 250P (right, the most classic 250 GTO is the car’s road version). From 1960 to 1965, Ferrari for six consecutive years, received 6 24 Hours of Le Mans champion; and 1963 more exaggerated, the top three, are Ferrari to sweep.

1963 swept three Ferrari 250 P

Ford side, there is no car on the basis of DNA, the rush entry and gave Shelby only less than six months from start to finish to design a new, requirements must be able to withstand in the Le Mans 24 hours of abuse, but also could get the car performance, even on today there are a variety of automated and high-tech is not the reality, let alone the 1960s that the “original” repairer age.

arena is a battlefield, torn sentimental illusion, as good as others, in 1965, the first year of competition can only Ford Gan Baifalali downwind.

comeback

packed up defeat mood, after the 1965 home of Henry Ford, retreat up, Revival.

a time of testing on the Shelby Ford GT40 headquarters airstrip, waste car and a prototype car, to which Myers and even to open a brake failure, brake failure almost fire, can not easily give in.

but rich tournament experience Ford also is no easy feat, even though Ferrari won Le Mans in 1965, but then early in the season when Ford’s ferocious momentum anomaly, however, can only be lost in a durable sex on.

65-year GT40 both transmission and brakes overheating in a hurry Design, retire retire, deceleration deceleration, can only watch from the side flying red horse. Enzo perhaps saw the potential of Shelby, put away the glory of victory in 1965, the United States prepared to give them another lesson uneducated, so with this in 1966: Ferrari 330 P3.

Ferrari 330 P3 more aggressive aerodynamic design, more low attitude, with the basis of F1 racing engine, in that s access to the output of 450 horsepower.

Enzo thought he was ready for a battle next year, but does not know, 1965 is the last time the Italian people standing on top of the podium at Le Mans.

By 1966, the back story, like a perfect dream, like the United States, but indeed happens, we do not need to close their eyes to dream.

In the eyes of Ford Motor Company, in management bloated, short-sighted, preoccupied with maintaining the company’s image in mind and please the boss, Henry Ford was a madman regardless of cost, Shelby is do not listen to reason wild cowboy, Myers is an alternative, a freak, that he is a deformity of character, but points.

But is such a person, in the building of the legendary Ford GT40 Le Mans racing in indelible contribution: from prototype to test to tune a little bit, every shift has its own mark, each time 0.001 seconds advances have his DNA on the inside.

We also know that such a person in the workplace (Yes, the car industry also has its own rivers and lakes), which is the fastest to throw the shark on the beach: grievances, crying, nothing can be done .

and even in Shelby repeatedly insisted recommendation, or lost inside the Ford Yong rot corporate culture, management of people always think, Miles, not on the table.

in 1965 after the first year of competition defeat we have just mentioned and go, Henry Ford finally decentralization: Shelby, nothing you tube enough, but to win, you have to give me a strong tube.

Shelby obtain power after faithfully sent four consecutive years, the 1966, 67, Le Mans 68, 69 years in the French countryside path consisting of only Ferrari Ford could see out of the dual exhaust pipes. When

and Myers himself, but in the summer after the 1966 race for the second year of the tournament to prepare for commissioning died due to an accident, the story here, along with the death of the hero, but also had to fall subtitle.

AL Channel Summary

good conscience to speak, this is not really “great” movie in front of “Pianist,” “the Shawshank redemption” these classic masterpiece, “Ford vs Ferrari” Maybe even the doors are not visible, but it is an excellent movie, in other words, this is a “real” movie .
