Good article (thanks for that) and yes, he plays the role very well, IMO.

Am I the only one who saw the Peugeot 403 ?
Seriously, a good surprise, a good movie. The development of the car is well related. They did a big work to digitalise the old stands and circuit (my avatar !). The racing scenes are a bit too romanesque though IMHO.

Indeed Simon!!!

As beautiful as a Ferrari P3 from 1964 !

Wasn't the P3 a year or two later than 64?

Yes, but instead they should have shown the 250 LM in the Ferrari garage at Maranello. It's only a detail though.

True enough.....

saw it this weekend and thought it was good fun and really liked a number of the racing sequences.

minor criticism...the sideways stare downs while driving was obviously very hollywood but main issue with it was that almost no time is afforded to the background/motivation of the other drivers....so why does Miles spend so much time staring everyone down?

i was hoping for a bit more exposition about Ferrari and it's drivers...without that the movie felt a bit more Ford vs Carroll Shelby to me.

Yes, that could easily have been the sub-title.....

Nobody picked up the Hoosier tyres?

**Peter Mallett** · 4 Dec 2019, 06:03 (Ref:3944663)

And all the Ford product placement.

**Mike Bell** · 4 Dec 2019, 06:38 (Ref:3944666)

Or the Italian built Innocenti Mini parked behind Miles’s garage- definitely not an early 60s version!

There are lots of details we can pick up on, being enthusiasts / anoraks/ whatever, but do they really matter?

It's the type of thing that matters to some - even if just for interest purposes.

Maybe a contribution here for wider awareness - https://www.moviemistakes.com/film13015 ?

Went to see it last night, had preconceived thought on it but yes, there where inaccuracies but they did start at the beginning with Shelby telling what LM was like,
thoroughly enjoyed it, but did pass comment on that LM 66 start line on how good it was , well worth the visit, but glad I didn't take my wife.Going back a few years, remember going to the BRSCC 64 racing car show and being awe struck ,and so was everyone else , by the Lola GT, does have some likeness to a GT40 !
