My favorite part in the film...."we need a bigger engine..." ford be like "No probs..."

[thomaslongshore]

"Ohhhh, giddy up, giddy up, " too good.

8 seconds of a lap record on the first run is actually insane

[MDE_never_dies]

Impressive, very nice. Let’s see Paul Allen’s lap.

[zerocoolcat]

8 seconds off the lap record on your first try?? Giddy-up!

[Spartan]

For those that do not know much about racing in general, especially automotive racing... when he asks what the lap record was and he says "1:58", then he given them their 1st lap time as "1:50", that is NUTS.

Shaving 8 seconds off of a lap time in general is exceptional, to break a lap record by 8 seconds is legendary, to do that on your first run in a test car is mythical.

There is a reason why the GT40 was banned from automotive racing, it was THAT GOOD.

My mom, (97 yo), was a Detroiter, (as am I), Her dad used to test drive new vehicles with Henry Ford. My grandfather was a mechanic for Ford motor company in the early days. 😮

You mix British and American engineering with a 7 liter nascar V8 and Carrol Shelby with his WW2 British American D-Day tank driver / fabricator and you can beat a Ferrari. The Ford GT 40 was the moment in history where cars grew up. It’s an amazing story of little men and big corporations kicking butt.

"I'm afraid we have." JJ Field as Roy Lunn, perfect. Ford of England was not exactly uninvolved in the GT 40 success.

Le Mans (McQueen) RUSH, and this always a great triple play in my house!

People that enjoy Carol Shelby should look into Zora Arkus Duntov (“father of the Corvette). He effectively convinced GM to make high performance trims of various cars. Even when GM told him no or canceled various race projects/prototypes, he still did it under their noses in secret.

Prime example, the 1963 Grand Sport Corvette. Aimed to win the GT class at LeMans, weighed 800+lbs less than standard production coupe, 377 CID small block that made 550 hp, and aimed production run of 125 cars. GM canceled it after 5 prototypes. He was also doing testing to make the Corvette mid engine as early as 1958.

He was racing pre-WW2. OHV heads on flathead Fords… he made them (Ardun heads). He also made prototype SOHC heads for flatheads. He won his class at Lemans in 1954. And a letter he wrote in 54 to the top brass GM about putting their new small block into Corvette got him the job as head of performance.

Duntov had a hand in virtually any high performance trim from Chevy from the mid 50s through 1970+. The HiPo 409 (and NASCAR 427 variant), Fuelie 327, DZ302, L88, ZL1, LS6, LT1, etc.

😂😂 OH GIDDY UP GIDDY UP 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 EVERYTIME🤣🤣

[Puzzoozoo]

Just shows what clever men in a team with an objective can do, when they are faced with a deadline to achieve their goal.

[alertgasper]

"those who insist it cannot be done...need to get out the way of those getting it done"

Gotta give it to Phil Remington, too. He doesn't get emotional, doesn't get drawn into the craziness, just finds the normal position to take above it all because his eyes are on the prize, not his ego...

[gumnaamaadmi]

'It's a shitbox! Drives like a pig!'

Oops, wrong movie.

[FINALLYOUTAFTER]

I guess Jason Bourne got a drivers license

[carlosj]

The new engine scene was just beautiful.The whole movie was a masterpiece.Christian bill really captured the speed of the space that has emotions.It almost fell like you were sitting right next to them

[OneBiasedOpinion]

The funny part is that he still rips the car apart when they ask for an evaluation. All kinds of handling issues and problems around the track. But he's also not worried about any of that, because NOW he has a car he can work with. The lack of engine meant he couldn't push it to an acceptable level in the first place.

[martystrasinger]

Nice, but the batmobile has the wrong paint scheme.

[methos]

I love that the lab testing the engine is right next to the track.
