Ford versus Ferrari

When Enzo Ferrari stalled on a deal to let Ford take control of Ferrari, Henry Ford II was, understandably, furious. But rather than resting on his laurels, he vowed to go and defeat Ferrari at Le Mans with his own car – the GT40. The thrilling story is now being retold in a new documentary film, filled with nostalgic period footage and interviews with the key characters. Poised for release later this month, The 24 Hour War is a flick you’re really not going to want to miss.
