Ford Motor Company Vice President Lee Iacocca suggested to Henry Ford II in 1963 that they increase their vehicle sales by acquiring Ferrari, an Italian automaker that dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Enzo Ferrari, the company’s owner, uses Ford’s offer to negotiate a deal with Fiat that enables him to keep control of the company’s racing squad, Scuderia Ferrari. Ford II and the entire Ford Motor Company are denigrated by him. Ford instructs his racing team to create a vehicle to beat Ferrari at Le Mans. Carroll Shelby, the owner of Shelby American and a retired racer who won the 1959 Le Mans, is hired by Iacocca. Ken Miles, a fiery British racer and mechanical expert, is recruited by Shelby. At Los Angeles International Airport, Shelby and Miles create the Ford GT40 Mk I prototype, which was manufactured in the UK. When the new Ford Mustang is unveiled, Miles gives Ford Senior Vice President Leo Beebe a scathingly rude review of it because he wouldn’t let Miles’ son, Peter, touch the vehicle, which sparked a rivalry between them. As a potential PR risk, Beebe advocates against sending Miles to the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans. Shelby dispatches Phil Hill and Bruce McLaren to Le Mans while grudgingly leaving Miles out. The Fords all fail to complete.

Shelby responds to Ford’s question about why he shouldn’t be fired by saying that despite the GT40’s reliability issues, it made Enzo Ferrari nervous by hitting 218 mph (350.8 km/h) on the Mulsanne Straight before breaking down. According to him, a racing vehicle cannot be created by a committee. Ford orders him to carry out the project and to come to him immediately. A collision and fire occur as a result of brake fade during testing of the GT40 Mk II. The crew understands that replacing the entire brake assembly during the race is permitted by the rules. But you shouldn’t waste any more time and start this Ford V Ferrari quiz. Beebe assumes control of the racing section in 1966. Shelby locks Beebe in his office and gives Ford a ride in the GT40 when he and Ford arrive to examine the program. Ford and Shelby agree that Miles will compete at Le Mans if he wins the 24 Hours of Daytona. Ford will then fully own Shelby American if this doesn’t happen. Beebe enters a second GT40 at Daytona with assistance from a NASCAR squad with quicker pit stops. Miles prevails after Shelby gives the go-ahead to drive his car past the 7,000 RPM redline.

About the quiz

Because McLaren’s car traveled farther altogether despite starting after Miles’, McLaren is crowned the winner. Miles comes in second. Miles, who is unusually upbeat, allows Shelby’s accusation slide, telling her that “you promised me the drive, not the win.” Shelby accuses Beebe of purposefully costing Miles the victory. Enzo Ferrari bows to Miles in the race from his vantage position. Miles promises Shelby that the next time they compete in Le Mans, they will triumph.

Shelby hesitates as she pulls into the driveway of Mollie, Miles’ widow, six months later. Peter, Miles’ son, comes, and the two of them discuss Miles. Miles once threw a wrench at Shelby, which she now provides to Peter. Ford’s winning run at Le Mans continued in 1967, 1968, and 1969, and Miles was posthumously inducted into the American Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2001, according to the epilogue text.
