Yes, looks promising, especially with the story being focussed around Ken Miles, rather than it being a Henry Ford v Enzo Ferrari Hollywood battle.

The book 'Go Like Hell' is also a good read about the same topic.

I expect that like RUSH I'll enjoy it, whilst getting really irritated by all the stupid artistic licence they will use to make characters do things that never actually happened, while missing out key things that did happen because they weren't considered entertaining.

Like with all things it will no doubt be best to read the book.

RUSH & THE DAMNED UNITED were both brilliant films, and both really failed where the true facts of life really came into play. ]]

I hope this film is a massive hit, because it might bring manufacturers back to Le Mans in the hope of selling more cars. Anyone...I'd settle for anyone if it meant someone giving Toyota some competition


BTW - I read that GO LIKE HELL is being made into a series - I expect that will probably be far more accurate and interesting - you can't possibly cover all the interesting detail of this story in one 2 hr film - far to much detail that caused it to pan out the way it did

I guess this gives a good idea as to who might be waving the green flags a week on Saturday then!

Would make more sense than at Indy.

They said a while back that a woman would be dropping the Tricolour, I was thinking Michelle Mouton, then they announced some Princess from Monaco, God knows the justification for that
