This was simply the race that had everything.
Two motoring heavyweights, taking each other on at full force in a bitter duel the likes of which the sport had never seen before.
Ford had tried to buy Ferrari, but Enzo was having none of it, strung them along for a deal and then promptly shut the door and shredded the contract.
Enraged, Ford made it his mission to crush the one thing Ferrari held dearest, his sporting pedigree. It’s the stuff of Hollywood scripts, and indeed became its own headline production that proved a box-office smash worldwide titled either Ford v Ferrari, or Le Mans ’66, depending where you were located.
