From a guy currently reading Go Like Hell, if Ferrari return, surely we need Ford too!

But let's not get greedy. The impact of a Ferrari works team at Le Mans can not be overstated. As isynge says, even the fact Luca is talking about sportscars is good PR.

There definitely appears to be a little more substance to this than on previous occasions and it does make more sense ..... so lets wait and see.

That is the Autosport story.

Speaking of which... protip: Watkins' Autosport stories always appear on racer.com, handy if you like me always exceed Autosport's pay wall limit

Not agreeing or disagreeing with you, but I also don't really know what you mean regarding "Americanised". Can you expand on what you mean regarding Rush?

Not going to take a genius to realise that as an American film, they're likely to paint Ford as the "good" guys and Ferrari as the evil cheats, or whatever. Kind of like how in Rush Niki Lauda was portrayed as the villain, for some reason.

Also, my other gripe with Rush - if that's the "true story" then I'm Niki Lauda himself.

Anyway, this could quickly get off topic, so I'll leave it there.

Sorry to continue the off topic...

Two points. First it is interesting that you somehow felt Niki was portrayed as the villain. I didn't see that at all. If anything I think it may have been the opposite. Second, it wasn't a documentary and even then for a non documentary it was likely more accurate than not.

How a Ford vs. Ferrari film would work out is pure speculation. If Ron Howard was to make it, I have doubts it would be done as you say.

It would be cool to have the rules changed so a car like this could participate..... perhaps F can do a "Garage 56" entry with this.

Agreed. Looks like something from one of those silly arcade driving games that is trying to be futuristic.

Very childdish to provoke Americans with a subjective and negative remark, to then shut off any way of replying or defending such an accusement.

I therefore suggest you withhold yourself from any more offending notions directed at our American fellow forum members.

As poorly done as American movies (let's say Grand Prix, Winning, Le Mans, and Rush) are...please remind me of the successful racing movies not produced by the US of A.

Also agreed, not saying I could imagine a better one but the "designed by a playstation gamer" look is just somehow very distinctive. For example the Adrian Newey prototype in Gran Turismo is very different, altough I wonder whether that came 100 percently from his head in the first place.
