Ferrari by Michael Mann
Discussion
"It is the summer of 1957. Behind the spectacle of Formula 1, ex-racer Enzo Ferrari is in crisis. Bankruptcy threatens the factory he and his wife, Laura built from nothing ten years earlier. Their volatile marriage has been battered by the loss of their son, Dino a year earlier. Ferrari struggles to acknowledge his son Piero with Lina Lardi. Meanwhile, his drivers' passion to win pushes them to the edge as they launch into the treacherous 1,000-mile race across Italy, the Mille Miglia."

This project must have taken years to complete. Troy Kennedy Martin is credited as the writer, but he died in 2009.
I thought that his name rang a bell - he also did the screenplay for The Italian Job (original version).
I noticed that as well. I believe there are lots of strict rules on who gets credited as writer. Wikipedia suggests the story is based on Brock Yates' book on Enzo Ferrari, so if TKM wrote a screenplay based on the book years ago and even if not a single word remains in the final version of the film then he still gets the credit.I thought that his name rang a bell - he also did the screenplay for The Italian Job (original version).

It must have been in some sort of planning hell. It was first talked about yonks ago and Christian Bale was going to play Enzo originally but he dropped out because he didn't want to do another massive weight gain cycle.

A chap who was fettling my Seven in about '98 was a former Lotus mechanic in the ACBC era . He told me- earnestly and with a straight face - that he'd seen him holding court in the Kentagon at Brands , in the Nineties .
