In the 1960s Enzo Ferrari emerged as the dominant force in sports cars in the world creating speed machines that were unbeatable on the race track. In America the Ford Motor Company was quickly losing ground as the pre-eminent br&. Henry Ford II saw a solution. He decided to declare war on Ferrari to build a faster car than anything Ferrari had brought to the track & to beat him at the world's biggest race Le Mans. Ferrari was just as determined to see off this challenge from across the Atlantic. With practically no safety regulations in place in the European Grand Prix races horrific accidents were routine with both drivers & spectators killed in many races. The stakes were incredibly high money & men were thrown at the competition neither Ford or Ferrari would accept anything but victory. The battle to become the fastest in the world truly became a race to the death.
