Ferrari Mailing List: Re: FORD v FERRARI | Official Trailer [HD] | 20th Century FOX

The 917 was a legend and changed the way a lot of racing was undertaken.

The old school legends were happy to win in 917s but they are not shy about commenting on how flawed they were. Redman, Follmer, etc. will admit the cars were scary and dangerous with woefully inadequate aerodynamic testing and development.

John Wyer fixed the early cars with changes to bodywork and airflow.

Why Porsche could not figure that out is a mystery.

PS-GT40s did beat the 917s at LM in ‘69.

As my dear friend (here) who actually worked for/with the German teams just called to remind... err... uh... correct me the Audi R15 did tie the laps record in 2010.  It took motorsports 40 years to overcome what was done in 1970.  But he was also quick to point out that the best the GT40 ever did hardly lasted 4 years.

And for us youngsters, there is the Audi/Bentley/Audi run that all but mandated German as the official language of the track...

C'mon guys... the GT40 vs Ferrari years (66-69) Ken Miles blah blah blah... is an OK run.  But for my money, just watch McQueen's Le Mans.  Nothing sounds like a 917K at full song and nothing has come close (except another damn P car) to 397 laps and 5300+ miles.  The 917K was more than a car, more than a race car... in the hands of Helmut Marko it was a weapon that Porsche assaulted the French countryside with.

Ford GT40 presented by Ferodo brakes YouTube 30 minute Leman 1968 nostalgic piece of history.

Nothing like a bunch of Weber’s on song – eh?

Cheers

Probably as accurate as Once Upon a Time in Hollywood...

 

At least that movie was funny.

I think this will be good - can't remember the last time I saw a good comedy.
