About event
The riveting legendary story of how Carroll Shelby's car designer and British rider Ken Miles build a revolutionary Ford GT40 racing car for Ford, so that they can win over the Ferrari in the 24 -hour Le Mans in France in 1966. In 1959, Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) was at the absolute peak, won the world's toughest motoring race in the world 24 hours Le Mans. After the greatest triumph of this intrepid Texasan, an overwhelming wound comes - doctors revealed heart defect will prevent him from racing. Shelby begins a new career as a very inventive designer. He cooperates with a team, including an excellent test rider and British champion Ken Miles (Christian Bale). Miles is not only a top competitor devoted to his family, but is also unbearably arrogant and absolutely incapable of any compromise. And this team of car madmen will hire Henry Ford II to design and build a perfect racing car for his car manufacturer. Ford is definitely revealed that Enzo Ferrari will reveal that he eventually refused the agreed connection of his car manufacturer with the Ford Motor Company. The Ferrari stables win on the Le Mans circuit continuously from 1960 until 1965. Shelby, Miles, and their small team are determined to make it with the help of the Ford GT40. Against them stands invincible Ferrari, physical laws and their own personal demons. Despite the obstacles and limits that the Ford itself throws in their way, it must develop a revolutionary vehicle that overwhelms every competitor. But their efforts take a considerable tax - but these courageous men are worth winning.
