1. This is live coverage
Copy !req
2. of the 195924 Hours of Le Mans.
Copy !req
3. We've reached the halfway point
Copy !req
4. and so far witnessed
Aston Martin number 5,
Copy !req
5. driven by Carroll Shelby,
Copy !req
6. making great gains in the last hour.
Copy !req
7. If he keeps this pace up,
Copy !req
8. he could have a chance at the...
Copy !req
9. He's coming in.
Copy !req
10. He's coming in. Let's go, let's go.
Copy !req
11. - Tires!
- Let's go, let's go.
Copy !req
12. I know you're tired, but come on,
Copy !req
13. let's make this fast.
Copy !req
14. Move, move, move!
Copy !req
15. She's running a little hot,
but we're good.
Copy !req
16. Tires are still gripping.
Copy !req
17. Fire! The fuel! Fire!
Copy !req
18. - Shelby, it's you!
- Grab that blanket!
Copy !req
19. Get off me! Off!
Copy !req
20. You okay?
Copy !req
21. Fill the tank!
Copy !req
22. - Shelby, you just...
- Am I on fire?
Copy !req
23. Am I on goddamn fire?
Copy !req
24. - No, you're not on fire.
- Fill the damn tank!
Copy !req
25. - Fill the tank.
- Fill the tank.
Copy !req
26. Get it ready!
Copy !req
27. - Where am I, Eddie?
- Two laps up, my friend.
Copy !req
28. Car's yours.
Copy !req
29. Go get 'em.
Copy !req
30. Aston Martin number 5,
Copy !req
31. driven by Carroll Shelby,
has maintained his lead
Copy !req
32. as we're nearing
the final minutes of the race.
Copy !req
33. Shelby.
Copy !req
34. The checkered flag is out.
Copy !req
35. The crowd are on their feet.
Copy !req
36. - Shelby.
- Takes the title!
Copy !req
37. An American wins Le Mans.
Copy !req
38. Shelby.
Copy !req
39. Carroll Shelby.
Copy !req
40. What?
Copy !req
41. This is something
you can't ignore anymore.
Copy !req
42. Oh, I take the pills. The pills work.
Copy !req
43. An elevated
heart rate, say 130 BPM,
Copy !req
44. sustained even for a short period,
Copy !req
45. you run a critical risk of cardiac arrest.
Copy !req
46. - Well, I'll race shorter format then.
- That's not gonna work.
Copy !req
47. Well, I could race NASCAR: Formula One.
Copy !req
48. The valve is shot, Shelby.
Copy !req
49. This is as serious as it gets.
Copy !req
50. In my opinion, you're lucky
to be sitting here today.
Copy !req
51. Well, I feel real lucky.
Copy !req
52. Luckiest guy on Earth.
Copy !req
53. There's a point at 7,000 RPM
where everything fades.
Copy !req
54. The machine becomes weightless.
Copy !req
55. Just disappears.
Copy !req
56. Hey!
Copy !req
57. Watch it, buddy!
Copy !req
58. And all that's left is a body
moving through space and time.
Copy !req
59. 7,000 RPM.
Copy !req
60. That's where you meet it.
Copy !req
61. It asks you a question.
Copy !req
62. The only question that matters.
Copy !req
63. "Who are you?"
Copy !req
64. Now, it's Von Trips in the Ferrari,
coming into the corkscrew.
Copy !req
65. - He's braking late.
- Hey, I called you three times,
Copy !req
66. and you never answer the phone.
Copy !req
67. Oh! He sets a new lap record!
Copy !req
68. I answer the phone
every time it rings.
Copy !req
69. - No, sir, you do not.
- Yes, I do.
Copy !req
70. No, you don't.
Copy !req
71. A month ago, this car was fine.
Copy !req
72. Now, it won't even start.
And when it does,
Copy !req
73. it's, "Boom, boom, boom!"
Copy !req
74. When I pull out of the driveway,
Copy !req
75. the dog has a heart attack.
Copy !req
76. All I'm asking is for
you to make it like it was.
Copy !req
77. Yeah, you've coked up
the inlet valves and the plugs.
Copy !req
78. Nothing wrong with the car,
Copy !req
79. just the way it's being driven.
Copy !req
80. The way it's being driven?
Copy !req
81. Too much fuel, not enough spark.
That's what's making her misfire.
Copy !req
82. You wanna run that by me in English?
Copy !req
83. All right, sir.
Copy !req
84. So...
Copy !req
85. that there, that is a sport car.
Copy !req
86. You have to drive her like a sport car.
Copy !req
87. If you drive her like a school teacher,
Copy !req
88. she'll clog up. All right?
Copy !req
89. Try changing up at 5,000 RPM, not two.
Copy !req
90. Drive like you mean it. Hard and tight.
Copy !req
91. She'll run clean.
Copy !req
92. Are you telling me I don't know
how to drive my own car?
Copy !req
93. No.
Copy !req
94. But if you ask me, this isn't your car.
Copy !req
95. Your car's more a Plymouth
or a Studebaker.
Copy !req
96. You and me have a problem, buddy?
Copy !req
97. I don't have a problem. I had an MG.
Copy !req
98. Mine ran just fine.
Copy !req
99. Screw you, you limey prick.
Copy !req
100. I want my money back.
Copy !req
101. Oh, behave. I'd give it to ya.
Copy !req
102. But you haven't paid
for last month's service yet.
Copy !req
103. This country, the customer's always right.
Copy !req
104. You ever hear of that?
Copy !req
105. Yeah. Yeah.
Copy !req
106. Utter nonsense.
Copy !req
107. Now remember, I advanced the timing,
Copy !req
108. so a smidge twitchy in first.
Copy !req
109. Get the revs up. Good lad. Revs up.
Copy !req
110. Ta-Ra.
Copy !req
111. Another satisfied customer?
Copy !req
112. Can I help you, miss?
Copy !req
113. Wasn't that an MGA 1500?
Copy !req
114. Ah, you know your cars.
Copy !req
115. Well, I like them.
Copy !req
116. I love the sound they make.
Copy !req
117. The way it goes right through you.
Copy !req
118. Right.
Copy !req
119. That vibration.
Copy !req
120. Mine's the wood-paneled.
Copy !req
121. Country Squire...
Copy !req
122. across the street.
Copy !req
123. A real hot rod.
Copy !req
124. Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
125. - Is it fast?
- Very.
Copy !req
126. Wait a second. What type of girl are ya?
Copy !req
127. Type of girl who likes
the smell of wet gasoline.
Copy !req
128. - Oh.
- Burnt rubber.
Copy !req
129. Oh, what, are you some kind of a deviant,
are ya?
Copy !req
130. Well, only since I married you.
Copy !req
131. Hey, Gar, what's going on?
Copy !req
132. Something's up.
Copy !req
133. Hi, Lee.
Copy !req
134. Listen, he isn't as sure as you are
about the banks.
Copy !req
135. I'm not as sure about this...
Copy !req
136. How's this going out?
Copy !req
137. - Don, what's going on?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
138. - Mr. Ford, welcome to the room.
- Good afternoon, Mr. Ford.
Copy !req
139. Nice to see you, sir.
Copy !req
140. Shut it down, Mr. Beebe.
Copy !req
141. John!
Copy !req
142. All stop.
Copy !req
143. Hear that?
Copy !req
144. That's the sound
of the Ford Motor Company...
Copy !req
145. out of business.
Copy !req
146. In 1899, my grandfather,
Henry, by God, Ford...
Copy !req
147. was walking home from Edison Illumination
Copy !req
148. after working a double shift.
Copy !req
149. He was ruminating.
Copy !req
150. That morning, he had himself an idea
that changed the world.
Copy !req
151. Sixty-five years
and 47 million automobiles later,
Copy !req
152. what shall be his legacy?
Copy !req
153. Getting it in the tail pipe
from a Chevy Impala.
Copy !req
154. Here's what I want you to do.
Copy !req
155. Walk home.
Copy !req
156. While you're walking,
I want you to ruminate.
Copy !req
157. Man comes to my office with an idea,
Copy !req
158. that man keeps his job.
Copy !req
159. Rest of you second-best losers...
Copy !req
160. stay home.
Copy !req
161. You don't belong at Ford.
Copy !req
162. Shelby!
Copy !req
163. I see you. Up and at 'em, buddy.
Copy !req
164. - Hey!
- Go away.
Copy !req
165. Come on. You can do it.
Copy !req
166. Come on, baby.
Copy !req
167. 8:30 a.m., time to roll.
Copy !req
168. Let's go.
Copy !req
169. - Let's go. Let's go, go, go.
- Go away.
Copy !req
170. It's 8:30 a.m., baby. Time to roll.
Copy !req
171. Come on.
Copy !req
172. Hey, Phil.
Copy !req
173. Hey, Bob.
Copy !req
174. Is Shelby here?
Copy !req
175. Uh, it's touch and go.
Copy !req
176. Shelby, you're up bright and early.
Copy !req
177. Well, early bird gets the worm, Pops.
Copy !req
178. All right, who you worried about?
Copy !req
179. Well, you got Red Faris and Bill Rushton.
Copy !req
180. They're all in 327s.
Copy !req
181. Corvettes. What about Bondurant?
Copy !req
182. Bondurant? Well, he's still driving...
Copy !req
183. - Mr. Shelby, can I get an autograph?
- For Washburn.
Copy !req
184. Number 614.
Copy !req
185. - Thank you so much.
- All right, just relax. All right.
Copy !req
186. We're gonna eat those Vettes
for breakfast.
Copy !req
187. We're lighter, we're faster,
Copy !req
188. and that don't work, we're nastier.
Copy !req
189. Hey, Dad,
before the race starts,
Copy !req
190. take your son over
to the Willow Springs...
Copy !req
191. Hey, Phil. Hey,
take it easy on us today, bud.
Copy !req
192. You all right?
Copy !req
193. Paragraph 15.4,
section 2b of the SCCA standard
Copy !req
194. dictates all AF class cars must have
Copy !req
195. minimum trunk space
of 20 inches by 12 inches
Copy !req
196. by six inches.
Copy !req
197. Your trunk doesn't close.
Copy !req
198. - Ergo car fails standard.
- Wait, wait, wait. What?
Copy !req
199. Ergo car is disqualified
from said Class A competition.
Copy !req
200. No, no, no. Look, look, look.
Can I ask you a question, all right?
Copy !req
201. When you were a little boy, did you think,
Copy !req
202. "When I grow up, I want to go
to the fabled Willow Springs Raceway,
Copy !req
203. "and I want to enforce
paragraph 15.4, section 2b
Copy !req
204. of the SCCA regulations
on luggage capacity"?
Copy !req
205. - All right, that's it.
- Did you?
Copy !req
206. I'm ruling you and your team
disqualified from this race.
Copy !req
207. Ah, well,
if it isn't Lance Reventlow.
Copy !req
208. - Ah, Shelby.
- How you doing, Lance?
Copy !req
209. - Pops.
- Hey, Lance.
Copy !req
210. Allow me to introduce Dieter Voss.
Runs Brumos Porsche out of Jacksonville.
Copy !req
211. Oh, I know all about Mr. Voss.
Copy !req
212. You're having a hell of a
season with that Abarth, sir.
Copy !req
213. Seeing results for your Cobra, too.
Copy !req
214. - Thank you.
- Your guy Miles is impressive.
Copy !req
215. - Oh, you following Miles?
- Oh, yes.
Copy !req
216. Well, he was a USAC
road racing champ in '61.
Copy !req
217. He won the Pikes Peak Hill Climb.
Copy !req
218. He was SCCA C-class champion
three years in a row
Copy !req
219. in his piece-of-shit MG he built himself.
Copy !req
220. We heard he's, uh, difficult.
Copy !req
221. What, Ken? No, no. Ken's a puppy dog.
Copy !req
222. Hey, Lance, tell the man.
You've raced against Ken.
Copy !req
223. Oh, I've driven more
behind him than against him.
Copy !req
224. Well, Brumos is looking for a driver
for our number two car at Sebring.
Copy !req
225. - Is that right?
- How is that even possible?
Copy !req
226. Think your guy Miles can make the grade?
Copy !req
227. - Oh, well, Ken...
- Is he, mate? Hey!
Copy !req
228. Jim! Is he putting his bloody carryall
Copy !req
229. - in your trunk?
- What?
Copy !req
230. Discretionary infraction.
Copy !req
231. Gentlemen, excuse me a moment.
Copy !req
232. To be honest, Ken was born for Sebring.
Copy !req
233. Nothing in there about my trunk
and your lovely little portmanteau.
Copy !req
234. You're holding
the '62 edition of the SCCA.
Copy !req
235. And you can stick this bloody sticker
where the sun don't shine.
Copy !req
236. Hey. Hey, Bill. What seems
to be the problem, Bill?
Copy !req
237. The problem is that
Bill here is an arsehole.
Copy !req
238. - No, he doesn't mean that.
- Oh, yes, he does. Yes, he does.
Copy !req
239. - No, he really does think...
- He's just fooling with ya, Bill.
Copy !req
240. - That Bill is an arsehole.
- He's just foolin'.
Copy !req
241. - I'm just doing my job here.
- Hang on. Bill, Bill, Bill.
Copy !req
242. In my experience, there is...
Listen to me.
Copy !req
243. Something like this, there's
always a middle ground.
Copy !req
244. All right? Now, Ken's outta line.
Copy !req
245. And I'm just doing my job.
Copy !req
246. I understand you are.
Copy !req
247. You know how he gets on a race day.
Copy !req
248. You know that. All right?
Copy !req
249. But you're not gonna DQ us over a trunk.
Copy !req
250. - What?
- You see that guy?
Copy !req
251. Got his tail up.
Copy !req
252. Happy, Bill?
Copy !req
253. Bill, I'll handle it.
I'll talk to him.
Copy !req
254. I'll talk to him. You just go
and have a great day.
Copy !req
255. Hey, folks, feeling hungry?
Copy !req
256. Head on over to the snack bar...
Copy !req
257. Shit.
Copy !req
258. - Bulldog.
- Huh?
Copy !req
259. You know who that was
I was just talking to?
Copy !req
260. Bill.
Copy !req
261. - Before that.
- No.
Copy !req
262. It was Dieter Voss.
Copy !req
263. Who's that?
Copy !req
264. He runs Porsche, Ken.
Copy !req
265. It's a little German car company.
Maybe you heard of it.
Copy !req
266. All right.
Copy !req
267. He wanted you to drive at Sebring.
Copy !req
268. But he'd heard you were difficult.
Copy !req
269. I thought we felt the same way
about, uh, Germans.
Copy !req
270. Do you like losing, Ken?
Copy !req
271. Excuse me?
Copy !req
272. Oh, you heard me.
Copy !req
273. I don't lose.
Copy !req
274. Without sponsors, you get no car, Ken.
Copy !req
275. And last I checked, the professionals
Copy !req
276. - all have a car.
- Shel!
Copy !req
277. You cannot win the SCCA without one.
Copy !req
278. If you're not winning, you are losing.
Copy !req
279. Don't make me lamp this at your head.
Copy !req
280. Did you bring your son
all the way out here
Copy !req
281. to watch you get disqualified
Copy !req
282. or just act like a jackass?
Copy !req
283. Damn!
Copy !req
284. Well, that answers that.
Copy !req
285. Peter...
Copy !req
286. May I help you, gentlemen?
Copy !req
287. Uh, yes, is Ken Miles here?
Copy !req
288. - No.
- We need to speak to Mr. Miles.
Copy !req
289. I'm his wife.
Copy !req
290. Welcome to the 1963
Willow Springs 100.
Copy !req
291. Twelve cars will be competing
in this 40-lap race.
Copy !req
292. Hey, Ken, what happened to your shield?
Copy !req
293. New design.
Copy !req
294. Well, it looks
like we're about to begin.
Copy !req
295. The cars have completed their warm-up lap.
Copy !req
296. The green flag is out...
Copy !req
297. and they're approaching the starting line.
Copy !req
298. Here we go.
Copy !req
299. Oh, bloody hell.
Copy !req
300. Ken Miles has fallen behind.
Copy !req
301. Learn to drive, you pillock!
Copy !req
302. So, Shelby, do you miss it?
Copy !req
303. Hey, Sam.
Copy !req
304. Guy wins the 24-hour Le Mans,
suddenly retires,
Copy !req
305. starts selling cars.
Copy !req
306. It just don't make sense.
Copy !req
307. Well, unless the rumors
are true, of course.
Copy !req
308. Oh, what rumors would those be, Sam?
Copy !req
309. That Carroll Shelby quit driving
'cause he lost his nerve.
Copy !req
310. I'm gonna out-brake you
on the next turn, Bob.
Copy !req
311. Ha-ha! Nice try, Bob.
Copy !req
312. Nice move from Ken Miles.
Copy !req
313. Twenty-two laps remaining,
with Phil Hill and Dan Gurney in the lead.
Copy !req
314. It's been an incredible day
here at Willow Springs,
Copy !req
315. and we've seen some exciting driving.
Copy !req
316. With just one lap remaining
in this 40-lap race,
Copy !req
317. we're coming to the final stretch.
Copy !req
318. Dan Gurney has been leading
the pack for most of the...
Copy !req
319. Whoa!
Copy !req
320. Number 18, Red Faris,
is off the track.
Copy !req
321. That leaves Dan Gurney for the lead
followed by journeyman Ken Miles.
Copy !req
322. Now for you, Dan.
Copy !req
323. And they're
coming around the last turn.
Copy !req
324. Gurney is still in the lead
with Ken Miles hot on his heels.
Copy !req
325. Miles is looking for an opening.
Copy !req
326. Not yet.
Copy !req
327. Come on.
Copy !req
328. Can Gurney hold
him off in the final straight?
Copy !req
329. Not yet.
Copy !req
330. Gurney is blocking him out.
Copy !req
331. Now.
Copy !req
332. Miles goes for the shoulder.
Copy !req
333. Nice move, Ken.
Copy !req
334. They're wheel to wheel.
Copy !req
335. Come on.
Copy !req
336. It's Corvette versus Cobra
for the finish.
Copy !req
337. Yeah! Ha-ha!
Copy !req
338. Yeah!
Copy !req
339. An incredible
finish for Ken Miles.
Copy !req
340. Didn't see that one coming.
Copy !req
341. He's difficult but good.
Copy !req
342. Let's give everyone a hand
for one heck of a race.
Copy !req
343. That calls for a nice cup of tea.
Copy !req
344. I'll put the kettle on.
Copy !req
345. Hop in.
Copy !req
346. Pops, frame this.
Copy !req
347. Hey.
Copy !req
348. We did it.
Copy !req
349. What's wrong?
Copy !req
350. The IRS came.
Copy !req
351. They've padlocked the garage.
Copy !req
352. All right, Petey.
Copy !req
353. A couple of years ago...
Copy !req
354. you said we'd a nest egg.
Copy !req
355. Correct.
Copy !req
356. A couple of years ago.
Copy !req
357. Correct.
Copy !req
358. So just to be clear, we are buggered.
Copy !req
359. Absolutely.
Copy !req
360. As in totally?
Copy !req
361. As in, not a bean,
or a pot in which to piss.
Copy !req
362. Spares, stock, all gone.
Copy !req
363. Tools. My tools are locked up in there.
Copy !req
364. I'll figure something out.
Copy !req
365. In 1945...
Copy !req
366. our soldiers came home.
Copy !req
367. What was the first thing that they did?
Copy !req
368. They had sex.
Copy !req
369. Seventeen years later,
Copy !req
370. those babies, they've grown.
Copy !req
371. And they've got jobs.
Copy !req
372. They've got licenses.
Copy !req
373. But they do not wanna drive
the same dull '50s cars
Copy !req
374. their parents drove.
Copy !req
375. You see, kids today, they want glamour.
Copy !req
376. They want sex appeal.
Copy !req
377. They want to go fast.
Copy !req
378. Gentlemen...
Copy !req
379. it's time for the Ford Motor Company
to go racing.
Copy !req
380. We're already in racing, lacocca.
Copy !req
381. NASCAR?
Copy !req
382. It's... it's regional, sir.
Copy !req
383. If you go to the movies,
you open up a magazine,
Copy !req
384. you don't see good ol' boys
and Winston-Salem.
Copy !req
385. You see, uh...
Copy !req
386. Sophia Loren...
Copy !req
387. Monica Vitti.
Copy !req
388. Hello!
Copy !req
389. James Bond does not drive a Ford, sir.
Copy !req
390. That's because he's a degenerate.
Copy !req
391. See?
Copy !req
392. God, I'd like to be a degenerate.
Copy !req
393. Um, just give me one second here, sir.
Copy !req
394. Is this part of it?
Copy !req
395. Is this going anywhere, lacocca?
Copy !req
396. Just a second, sir.
Copy !req
397. All right, all right,
that's enough.
Copy !req
398. Sir, if you just bear with me...
Copy !req
399. Turn it off. Lights.
Copy !req
400. Lee, in the last three years,
you and your marketing team...
Copy !req
401. have presided over the worst
sales slump in US history.
Copy !req
402. Why exactly should Mr. Ford listen to you?
Copy !req
403. Because we've been thinking wrong.
Copy !req
404. Ferrari.
Copy !req
405. Now, they have won four
out of the last five Le Mans.
Copy !req
406. We need to think like Ferrari.
Copy !req
407. Ferrari makes fewer cars
in a year than we make in a day.
Copy !req
408. We spend more on toilet paper
Copy !req
409. than they do on their entire output.
Copy !req
410. You want us to think like them?
Copy !req
411. Enzo Ferrari will go down in history
Copy !req
412. as the greatest
car manufacturer of all time.
Copy !req
413. Why?
Copy !req
414. Is it because he built the most cars?
Copy !req
415. No.
Copy !req
416. It's because of what his cars mean.
Copy !req
417. Victory.
Copy !req
418. Ferrari wins at Le Mans.
Copy !req
419. People, they, they want
some of that victory.
Copy !req
420. What if the Ford badge meant victory?
Copy !req
421. And meant it where it counts,
Copy !req
422. with the first group
of 17-year-olds in history
Copy !req
423. with money in their pockets?
Copy !req
424. This would take years.
Copy !req
425. Decades to test and develop...
Copy !req
426. a race team capable of taking out Ferrari.
Copy !req
427. Ferrari's bankrupt.
Copy !req
428. Enzo has spent every lira
he's got chasing perfection,
Copy !req
429. and you know something?
Copy !req
430. He got there.
Copy !req
431. But now he's broke.
Copy !req
432. You don't have to give up racing
to get a bloody day job, Ken.
Copy !req
433. I think I do.
Copy !req
434. Now, I've had my fun.
Copy !req
435. It's time to put food on the table...
Copy !req
436. and grow up.
Copy !req
437. The garage didn't pay the bills.
Copy !req
438. Now it's locked up.
Copy !req
439. Racing doesn't pay them either,
Copy !req
440. and I keep winning.
Copy !req
441. Yeah, because you're good.
Copy !req
442. But I can't play the game.
Copy !req
443. I'm not what they call a people person.
Copy !req
444. - You don't say.
- And I'm 45 years old.
Copy !req
445. Do you really think I'm gonna change?
Copy !req
446. I'm never gonna get the good rise.
Copy !req
447. I started too late.
Copy !req
448. Because you fought in the bloody war.
Copy !req
449. If you stop,
you'll be bloody insufferable.
Copy !req
450. Let's quit going round
the Wrekin. It's over.
Copy !req
451. Let's look on the bright side.
Copy !req
452. Now I can get fat and old,
trim the roses, and eat pork pies.
Copy !req
453. Uh, scusa.
Copy !req
454. Please, no photos.
Copy !req
455. Prego.
Copy !req
456. - Relax, will you?
- You gotta understand.
Copy !req
457. This is like the Mafia showing up
to buy the Statue of Liberty.
Copy !req
458. Kind of the opposite, actually.
Copy !req
459. The press gets wind of this,
the shit will hit the Fangio.
Copy !req
460. Lee lacocca, Ford Motor.
Copy !req
461. Franco Gozzi, Ferrari.
Copy !req
462. Journalists?
Copy !req
463. No, no, Mr. Lacocca, no.
Copy !req
464. It's our cameras.
Copy !req
465. Just for history.
Copy !req
466. Four-liter Colombo engine.
Copy !req
467. One man assembles the entire engine
by himself.
Copy !req
468. Another man assembles the transmission.
Copy !req
469. Everything hand-built.
Copy !req
470. Bellissimo.
Copy !req
471. Racing Department.
Copy !req
472. Lee. That's him.
Copy !req
473. This merger between our companies
will form two entities.
Copy !req
474. Ford-Ferrari,
90 percent owned by Ford,
Copy !req
475. who controls all production.
Copy !req
476. Secondly, Ferrari-Ford, the race team,
Copy !req
477. 90 percent owned by Ferrari.
Copy !req
478. In order to secure this,
Ford will pay the sum...
Copy !req
479. Excuse me.
Copy !req
480. He will need
some time to read this.
Copy !req
481. Ah. Please.
Copy !req
482. Ah. Yeah, of course.
Copy !req
483. I'm looking for the chairman of Fiat!
Copy !req
484. Agnelli!
Copy !req
485. I have photographs for you to see.
Copy !req
486. Grazie, grazie, grazie.
Copy !req
487. Pronto.
Copy !req
488. Yes, I am here.
Copy !req
489. Do you have something to say?
Copy !req
490. Enzo maintains full control.
Copy !req
491. I get the company for 18 million.
Copy !req
492. All done, thank you.
Copy !req
493. "Gentlemen,
only one small question.
Copy !req
494. It concerns my race program."
Copy !req
495. "If I wish to race Le Mans,
Copy !req
496. "and you do not wish
for me to race Le Mans...
Copy !req
497. do we or do we not go?"
Copy !req
498. Look, in that highly unlikely scenario...
Copy !req
499. if we just can't agree...
Copy !req
500. then, yes. I mean, no.
Copy !req
501. You are correct.
Copy !req
502. You do not go.
Copy !req
503. "My integrity as a constructor,
Copy !req
504. "as a man, as an Italian,
Copy !req
505. is deeply insulted by your proposal."
Copy !req
506. "Go back to Michigan."
Copy !req
507. "Back to your big, ugly factory."
Copy !req
508. "Back to your big, ugly factory,
Copy !req
509. making its ugly, little cars."
Copy !req
510. "Tell your pigheaded boss that
Copy !req
511. all his, uh, smug executives
are worthless sons of whores."
Copy !req
512. Tell him he's not Henry Ford.
Copy !req
513. He's Henry Ford ll.
Copy !req
514. I'm starving. Let's go eat.
Copy !req
515. He played us.
Copy !req
516. Old Man Enzo had no intention
of selling to us.
Copy !req
517. He used us to up his price...
Copy !req
518. embarrass our company
and insult your leadership.
Copy !req
519. It was a bad idea from the start.
Copy !req
520. What exactly did he say?
Copy !req
521. He said Ford makes ugly little cars,
Copy !req
522. and we make 'em...
Copy !req
523. in an ugly factory.
Copy !req
524. He said our executives are sons of whores.
Copy !req
525. About me?
Copy !req
526. He called you fat, sir.
Copy !req
527. And, uh...
Copy !req
528. pigheaded.
Copy !req
529. Go on.
Copy !req
530. He said you're not Henry Ford.
Copy !req
531. You're Henry Ford ll.
Copy !req
532. I want the best engineers.
Copy !req
533. The best drivers.
Copy !req
534. I don't care what it costs.
Copy !req
535. We're gonna build a race car.
Copy !req
536. And we're gonna bury
that goddamn greasy wop
Copy !req
537. 100 feet deep
under the finish line at Le Mans.
Copy !req
538. And I will be there to watch it.
Copy !req
539. Here they come. Go, go, go, go.
Copy !req
540. Assholes.
Copy !req
541. You're really pathetic.
Copy !req
542. I'm so sorry, girls.
Copy !req
543. Charlie!
Copy !req
544. Quit throwing crackers
at the girls all damn day.
Copy !req
545. God damn it.
Copy !req
546. Do I gotta deal with this?
Copy !req
547. It's already taken care of.
Copy !req
548. Sorry about that.
So, yeah, 289 cubic inch V8.
Copy !req
549. Far out.
Copy !req
550. Extensive rework of AC Ace's front end.
Copy !req
551. And a stronger rear diff
to handle the torque.
Copy !req
552. How's she handle a quarter mile?
Copy !req
553. Well, now, I'm not saying
you should go drag racing,
Copy !req
554. but a quarter mile's 13.6.
Copy !req
555. Yeah.
Copy !req
556. - Is that good?
- Oh, that's real good.
Copy !req
557. He sold that same car
three times this week.
Copy !req
558. - You take cash? Is cash okay?
- Cash is okay.
Copy !req
559. Yeah, mister, you just bought yourself
one hell of a sport car.
Copy !req
560. All right.
Copy !req
561. Tell you what, I'm gonna... Phil!
Copy !req
562. I'm gonna pass you off
to my colleague here.
Copy !req
563. He gonna take care of you.
Copy !req
564. - Phil, Wyatt.
- Hello, Wyatt.
Copy !req
565. I'm gonna steal him for one second.
Copy !req
566. You take the payment.
Copy !req
567. Whatever you do,
do not let him take that car.
Copy !req
568. That's Jeff Blitzer's car.
Copy !req
569. And Frank Collins' and Steve McQueen's.
Copy !req
570. Shit. I forgot about McQueen.
Copy !req
571. Morning.
Copy !req
572. Can I help you?
Copy !req
573. Carroll Shelby?
Copy !req
574. Maybe.
Copy !req
575. Lee lacocca, Ford Motor.
Copy !req
576. What's with the wrench?
Copy !req
577. That? Oh, long story.
Copy !req
578. We are just going from strength
to strength here, Lee.
Copy !req
579. Terrific sales,
we're killing it on the track.
Copy !req
580. Now, I know I owe Ford
for that last batch of engines...
Copy !req
581. Mr. Shelby, I can assure you
I'm not here for money
Copy !req
582. that you might owe Ford for spare parts.
Copy !req
583. You're not?
Copy !req
584. No, I'm not.
Copy !req
585. Okay.
Copy !req
586. I'm here on behalf
of Mr. Ford, Henry Ford ll.
Copy !req
587. Suppose, um, hypothetically,
Copy !req
588. that he wanted his company
to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Copy !req
589. You're one of the only Americans
that's ever done it...
Copy !req
590. so I'm wondering...
Copy !req
591. what's it take?
Copy !req
592. Hypothetically?
Copy !req
593. Hypothetically.
Copy !req
594. It takes something money can't buy.
Copy !req
595. Money can buy speed.
Copy !req
596. But it isn't about speed, Lee.
Copy !req
597. It's not just like those other tracks
Copy !req
598. where all you do is turn
to the left for four hours.
Copy !req
599. To win that race, you need a car
Copy !req
600. that's light enough to do 200
on the straightaways
Copy !req
601. but strong enough to keep that up
for 3,000 miles without a break.
Copy !req
602. Not just the best car
Copy !req
603. y'all have ever made,
but better than anything
Copy !req
604. that Enzo Ferrari shows up with that year.
Copy !req
605. And that just gets you to the green flag.
Copy !req
606. That's where your problems really start.
Copy !req
607. Is everything okay?
Copy !req
608. Go away.
Copy !req
609. So you're saying it's challenging.
Copy !req
610. Look, it's not even a track, Lee.
Copy !req
611. Le Mans is eight and a half
miles of country road.
Copy !req
612. It's narrow, ungraded, it's rough.
Copy !req
613. There's no camber on the turns, no rails.
Copy !req
614. You gotta do that for 24 hours.
Copy !req
615. Twenty-four hours, Lee.
Copy !req
616. That means night.
Copy !req
617. Half that race is in the dark.
You can't see shit.
Copy !req
618. Cars coming up on you out of nowhere.
Copy !req
619. Drivers stumbling around
the track, pouring blood.
Copy !req
620. Maybe one of 'em's your friend. Maybe...
Copy !req
621. Maybe he's on fire.
Copy !req
622. You're exhausted, you're hungry...
Copy !req
623. can't remember your name,
what country you're in.
Copy !req
624. And all of a sudden, you realize
you're doing 198 on a straight.
Copy !req
625. And if anything goes wrong...
Copy !req
626. you blow a gasket, a five-cent washer...
Copy !req
627. that's it, whole thing's over.
Copy !req
628. Ferrari wins again.
Copy !req
629. Just like he won last year
and the year before that.
Copy !req
630. And the year before that.
Copy !req
631. Yeah.
Copy !req
632. It's challenging.
Copy !req
633. So you don't think...
Copy !req
634. that Ford Motor Company can build
Copy !req
635. the greatest race car
the world's ever seen?
Copy !req
636. You think that we are incapable
Copy !req
637. of winning an event like that?
Copy !req
638. Even if we had a brilliant partner?
Copy !req
639. Even if we wrote a, uh, blank check?
Copy !req
640. What I'm saying is,
you can't buy a win, Lee.
Copy !req
641. But maybe you could buy
the guy who gets you a shot.
Copy !req
642. A new transmission, axles,
shocks all around,
Copy !req
643. ditch the body and the tires,
you have yourself a contender.
Copy !req
644. Anything on this beauty that does work?
Copy !req
645. The mirrors are outstanding.
Copy !req
646. I saw that walking up.
Copy !req
647. So, what, you just passing
on an evening stroll?
Copy !req
648. Actually, Bulldog,
I have a proposition for you.
Copy !req
649. You're gonna build a car
to beat Old Man Ferrari...
Copy !req
650. - Yeah.
- With Ford?
Copy !req
651. With a Ford?
Copy !req
652. Correct.
Copy !req
653. And how long did you tell them
that you needed?
Copy !req
654. Two, three hundred years?
Copy !req
655. Ninety days.
Copy !req
656. All right, so let's just look
at this for a moment.
Copy !req
657. And for argument's sake,
Copy !req
658. let's just forget about
the whole 90-day thing, all right?
Copy !req
659. So let's just pretend you've got
all the money in the world
Copy !req
660. and all the time in the world.
Copy !req
661. - I like the sound of that.
- All right.
Copy !req
662. So...
Copy !req
663. you think that Ford
are gonna let you build
Copy !req
664. the car that you want...
Copy !req
665. the way you want it?
Copy !req
666. The Ford Motor Company?
Copy !req
667. Those guys?
Copy !req
668. Have you ever been to Detroit?
Copy !req
669. I mean, they have
floors and floors of lawyers
Copy !req
670. and millions of marketing guys,
and they're all gonna want to meet you.
Copy !req
671. All of them are gonna want
to get their photo taken
Copy !req
672. with the great Carroll Shelby,
and they're gonna kiss your ass
Copy !req
673. then they're gonna go
back to their lovely offices...
Copy !req
674. and they're gonna work out
new ways to screw you.
Copy !req
675. Why? Because they can't help it.
Copy !req
676. Because they just want
to please their boss
Copy !req
677. who wants to please his boss
who wants to please his boss.
Copy !req
678. And they hate themselves for it.
Copy !req
679. But deep down...
Copy !req
680. who they hate even more
are guys like you,
Copy !req
681. because you're not like them,
Copy !req
682. because you don't think like them,
Copy !req
683. because you're different.
Copy !req
684. It's coming straight from the Deuce.
Copy !req
685. He's serious.
They're gonna put real money behind it.
Copy !req
686. I'll bet they are.
Copy !req
687. You know why?
Copy !req
688. Because someone, and I'm not saying who,
Copy !req
689. someone has told them that
this is actually possible.
Copy !req
690. Look...
Copy !req
691. this Sunday at Cloverfield,
Copy !req
692. they're launching the new Mustang.
Copy !req
693. They're gonna announce the race program.
Copy !req
694. Just come on by.
Copy !req
695. Come take a look. Listen to my speech.
Copy !req
696. I'm making a speech.
Copy !req
697. Bring Peter. He'll love it.
Copy !req
698. All right, Shel.
Copy !req
699. See you Sunday.
Copy !req
700. Whoa.
Copy !req
701. Dad, look at that.
Copy !req
702. Huh.
Copy !req
703. The Ford Mustang. What do you think?
Copy !req
704. I think it's a secretary's car.
Copy !req
705. I like it.
Copy !req
706. Oh.
Copy !req
707. Excu... Excuse me.
Copy !req
708. Would you, would you not do that?
Copy !req
709. Oh. Sorry.
Copy !req
710. Oh, er, is this, is this your son?
Copy !req
711. Yes, it is.
Copy !req
712. Would you ask him to keep
his hands off the paintwork?
Copy !req
713. No, no, no, Peter.
You're okay. Who are you?
Copy !req
714. Leo Beebe,
Copy !req
715. senior executive vice president,
Ford Motor Company.
Copy !req
716. Ah.
Copy !req
717. I'm responsible for the launch
of the Mustang.
Copy !req
718. Ah! At least now we know
who's responsible.
Copy !req
719. Don't get me wrong, Lenny.
Copy !req
720. - Leo.
- It looks fantastic.
Copy !req
721. But inside, it's a lump of lard
dressed up to fool the public.
Copy !req
722. My advice is,
Copy !req
723. lose the inline-six
and that idiotic three-speed,
Copy !req
724. shorten the wheelbase,
somehow lose half a ton,
Copy !req
725. and lower the price.
Copy !req
726. Dad.
Copy !req
727. But even then,
I'd still choose a Chevy Chevelle.
Copy !req
728. And that's a fucking terrible car.
Copy !req
729. How are we doing up there, Steve?
Copy !req
730. There's Cloverfield, Mr. Shelby.
Copy !req
731. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
732. You mind if I take a shot at the landing?
Copy !req
733. Uh...
Copy !req
734. No, no, no. I mean it.
Copy !req
735. - I flew B-29s out of San Antone in '44.
- You're kidding.
Copy !req
736. - I did.
- Okay.
Copy !req
737. Carroll, what are you doing?
Copy !req
738. - Does he know how to fly?
- Carroll.
Copy !req
739. I had an instructor tell me, he said...
Copy !req
740. Don, I would say it's probably
a good time to buckle up.
Copy !req
741. "Do everybody a favor,
stay on the ground."
Copy !req
742. That's a true story.
Copy !req
743. - Oh, no.
- Oh, shit.
Copy !req
744. - God damn it.
- Here we go.
Copy !req
745. This is the car
you never expected from Detroit.
Copy !req
746. All right. Let's go.
Copy !req
747. Not staying, Ken?
Copy !req
748. Ah, it's a bloody pig in a poke, isn't it?
Copy !req
749. Oh, here they come now.
Copy !req
750. - Wait. Are they crashing?
- Oh, Lord.
Copy !req
751. Who's the pilot?
Copy !req
752. My guess, Peter...
Copy !req
753. it's someone we know.
Copy !req
754. Everything all right up there?
Copy !req
755. Oh, no.
Copy !req
756. - No!
- Hang on.
Copy !req
757. Oh, shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.
Copy !req
758. Shit. Shit. Shit.
Copy !req
759. Tell you what, that's like riding a bike.
Copy !req
760. Talk about making an entrance.
Copy !req
761. - Shelby...
- Good grief.
Copy !req
762. - Shelby!
- All right!
Copy !req
763. - Over here. Over here!
- Shelby!
Copy !req
764. How y'all doing?
Copy !req
765. Can I get your autograph, please?
Copy !req
766. Can I get your autograph, sir?
Copy !req
767. Carroll, this is Roy Lunn.
Copy !req
768. Old Roy here is developing
the prototype over in England.
Copy !req
769. Oh, hell, I know Roy.
Good to see you, Roy.
Copy !req
770. Welcome to the madhouse, Shelby.
Copy !req
771. Ford wheeled out the entire
executive committee for this one.
Copy !req
772. Hold that thought.
Copy !req
773. Ah.
Copy !req
774. Hello, Mr. Lindbergh.
Copy !req
775. You like that?
Hey, Peter, how you doing?
Copy !req
776. - Mr. Shelby.
- Good to see you.
Copy !req
777. Are you building a car
that's gonna beat Ferrari?
Copy !req
778. Well, we're gonna go
to Le Mans, that's for sure.
Copy !req
779. And if we get across
that finish line first, we're gonna win.
Copy !req
780. Carroll, allow me
to introduce Leo Beebe,
Copy !req
781. senior vice president, Ford Motor.
Copy !req
782. Oh, sure. Yeah. A pleasure, Mr. Beebe.
Copy !req
783. - Thank you for coming.
- Say hello to Ken Miles
Copy !req
784. - and his son, Peter.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
785. - We've, um... we met.
- We, uh... we met.
Copy !req
786. Yeah.
Copy !req
787. Didn't we?
Copy !req
788. So, um, well...
Copy !req
789. I'll take Petey for some pop.
Copy !req
790. Good luck with these guys, Shel.
Copy !req
791. - Bye, Mr. Shelby.
- See you, Pete.
Copy !req
792. Don't worry, he's gonna stay.
Copy !req
793. So, you two get a chance
to talk on the plane?
Copy !req
794. Yeah. Uh...
Copy !req
795. Carroll, why don't we just
step this way for a second?
Copy !req
796. Look, it's pro forma.
It's window dressing.
Copy !req
797. But there's gotta be
a sense of give-and-take
Copy !req
798. between you and...
Copy !req
799. you know.
Copy !req
800. No, I don't.
Copy !req
801. The group.
Copy !req
802. "The group"?
Copy !req
803. Senior creatives, Carroll.
Copy !req
804. Just to make sure everybody's comfortable.
Copy !req
805. Well, I'm confused, Lee.
Copy !req
806. 'Cause up until this moment, right now,
I was comfortable.
Copy !req
807. You should take a look
out there, Carroll. Hmm?
Copy !req
808. What do you see?
Copy !req
809. You know what I see?
Copy !req
810. I see a machine.
Copy !req
811. I see 10,000 moving parts,
Copy !req
812. moving hopefully in harmony,
Copy !req
813. and it's my job to make it so.
Copy !req
814. It's my job to guide you through it.
Copy !req
815. I am here to help you, Carroll.
Copy !req
816. But you gotta trust me.
Copy !req
817. - Excuse me, Lee.
- Carroll...
Copy !req
818. do not step on that stage
if you don't trust me.
Copy !req
819. Please welcome Mr. Carroll Shelby.
Copy !req
820. Gotta go.
Copy !req
821. Shelby... Oh. Shelby.
Copy !req
822. What'd he say?
Copy !req
823. He gets the drill.
Copy !req
824. Thank you.
Copy !req
825. Well, if my daddy was here today...
Copy !req
826. he'd tell me to sit on down
Copy !req
827. and leave the yakking
to the college boys, so...
Copy !req
828. like my cars, I'll make this fast.
Copy !req
829. When I was 10 years old,
Pops said to me, "Son..."
Copy !req
830. "it's a truly lucky man
Copy !req
831. "who knows what he wants
to do in this world.
Copy !req
832. 'Cause that man will
never work a day in his life."
Copy !req
833. But there are a few, a precious few,
Copy !req
834. and, hell, I don't know
if they're lucky or not.
Copy !req
835. But there are a few people
who find something they have to do.
Copy !req
836. Something obsesses 'em.
Copy !req
837. Something that if they can't do it,
Copy !req
838. it's gonna drive them
clean out of their mind.
Copy !req
839. I'm that guy.
Copy !req
840. And I know one other man
feels exactly the same.
Copy !req
841. His name...
Copy !req
842. His name is Mr. Henry Ford.
Copy !req
843. Yeah! Whoo!
Copy !req
844. And together, we're gonna build
the fastest automobiles in the world.
Copy !req
845. And we're gonna make history,
too, at Le Mans.
Copy !req
846. - Let's go.
- What?
Copy !req
847. My name is Carroll Shelby.
Copy !req
848. I build race cars.
Copy !req
849. No. Whatever it is, no.
Copy !req
850. No.
Copy !req
851. Thirty minutes.
Copy !req
852. Ah, just... I'm spent.
Copy !req
853. - I wanna have a bath.
- You're gonna wanna see this.
Copy !req
854. Trust me.
Copy !req
855. Thirty minutes. I'll have you
back for meatloaf and gravy.
Copy !req
856. Thirty minutes.
Copy !req
857. Yeah.
Copy !req
858. Bloody hell.
Copy !req
859. Fresh off the plane from England.
Copy !req
860. Now, she's still a little
on the rare side of cooked.
Copy !req
861. Whoa! Come on.
Copy !req
862. Interesting.
Copy !req
863. Well?
Copy !req
864. It's awful.
Copy !req
865. It's worse than awful.
Copy !req
866. Yeah, it doesn't track.
You know, the third gear is too high.
Copy !req
867. Torque is not reaching the road.
Copy !req
868. Steering's loose because
the front end gets light.
Copy !req
869. And over 140, it thinks it's a...
Copy !req
870. Airplane.
Copy !req
871. Yeah.
Copy !req
872. It wants to lift off and fly to Hawaii.
Copy !req
873. Anything else?
Copy !req
874. One sec.
Copy !req
875. You were back late last night.
Copy !req
876. Yeah.
Copy !req
877. - Were you working?
- Mmm.
Copy !req
878. So, you didn't go anyplace?
Copy !req
879. What?
Copy !req
880. Well, I'm asking, did you
go anyplace last night?
Copy !req
881. Mollie.
Copy !req
882. It's a simple question.
Copy !req
883. And I answered, didn't I?
Copy !req
884. What was the answer?
Copy !req
885. Is something up, love?
Copy !req
886. What are you doing? What are you doing?
Copy !req
887. You're driving very fast.
Copy !req
888. Oh, am I? Am I?
Copy !req
889. Yes, you are.
Copy !req
890. Bloody hell! What are you...
The hell is this?
Copy !req
891. Well, you tell me, 'cause I don't know.
Copy !req
892. Right, slow down!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Mollie!
Copy !req
893. Please slow it down, all right?
Copy !req
894. You trying to kill us or something?
Copy !req
895. - Well, I thought we love this shit.
- What?
Copy !req
896. - Bloody hell!
- It's a bit of racing fun. No?
Copy !req
897. No, no, no. It's not the same at all.
Copy !req
898. Well, I think it's thrilling!
Copy !req
899. All right.
Copy !req
900. Look, I saw you, all right?
Copy !req
901. I saw you leaving with Shelby,
and I saw you coming back.
Copy !req
902. Okay. Shit. Okay, but slow it...
Copy !req
903. And then all day you've got
that stupid look on your face.
Copy !req
904. Mollie, slow down. You're too close here.
Copy !req
905. Mollie, put on the brakes right now...
Copy !req
906. Not until you tell me what's going on!
Copy !req
907. All right. I went to look at a car.
Copy !req
908. - With Shelby?
- With Shelby.
Copy !req
909. - A racing car?
- Sort of.
Copy !req
910. There's a corner coming.
You'd better hold on.
Copy !req
911. Oh! Are you gonna lift your
foot off at all through this?
Copy !req
912. No, 'cause I like a clean racing line.
Copy !req
913. Slow down!
Copy !req
914. Okay.
Copy !req
915. Shel offered me a job.
Copy !req
916. Ford has a car that they want
to put up against a Ferrari.
Copy !req
917. - You told me you were done.
- That's it. Now, slow...
Copy !req
918. I didn't say yes.
Copy !req
919. Slow down.
Copy !req
920. You told me you quit.
Copy !req
921. - I don't understand.
- Get fat and old, you said.
Copy !req
922. Fat and old.
Copy !req
923. - I don't understand.
- That's what you told me.
Copy !req
924. I don't understand.
Copy !req
925. Are you upset because I said I was done
or because I looked at a race car?
Copy !req
926. Just don't lie to me, Ken.
Copy !req
927. Don't make it a secret,
Copy !req
928. what you want or what you feel,
Copy !req
929. just because you think
it's gonna make me happy.
Copy !req
930. Moll, I don't even know what I feel.
Copy !req
931. If you do this...
Copy !req
932. then he better be paying you this time.
Copy !req
933. 'Cause I can't work any more
hours and look after Peter.
Copy !req
934. You know, the IRS have the garage.
Copy !req
935. I'm not losing my home.
Copy !req
936. It's $200 a day.
Copy !req
937. Plus expenses.
Copy !req
938. Are you shitting me?
Copy !req
939. But I haven't decided.
Copy !req
940. $200 a day?
Copy !req
941. Are you nuts?
Copy !req
942. Look at this. This is ridiculous. Here.
Copy !req
943. So, Shel, grabbing air.
Copy !req
944. That's the problem.
Copy !req
945. Over 90, air's getting in,
not getting out.
Copy !req
946. It's the nose, I can feel it in the wheel.
Copy !req
947. Mr. Miles, if there's a problem,
the computer will find it.
Copy !req
948. - All right.
- Charlie,
Copy !req
949. get some Scotch tape and a ball of wool.
Copy !req
950. All right. Good, good, good.
Copy !req
951. So, now let's just, uh,
get all of this junk out.
Copy !req
952. Right, Pops?
Copy !req
953. Yeah, yeah. I concur.
Come on, guys.
Copy !req
954. What are they doing?
Copy !req
955. Making your car faster.
Copy !req
956. There. Right there.
Airflow's getting stuck.
Copy !req
957. I see it.
Yarn blows straight up.
Copy !req
958. - Yep.
- The front's lifting.
Copy !req
959. Damn, he's right.
Copy !req
960. This car wants to go faster. I feel it.
Copy !req
961. Any lighter, we're getting fragile.
Copy !req
962. Took 70 pounds out of her
in the last week.
Copy !req
963. She's outputting max horsepower
from this displacement.
Copy !req
964. So put in a bigger engine.
Copy !req
965. Where we gonna put it? On the roof?
Copy !req
966. Managed to make it
52 pounds lighter
Copy !req
967. than the NASCAR unit.
Copy !req
968. All-new aluminum cylinder heads...
Copy !req
969. vibration dampeners,
water pump, smaller valves.
Copy !req
970. We call it the Beast.
Copy !req
971. Yeah, I can see why,
Copy !req
972. but how's it gonna fit
Copy !req
973. without a redesign of the engine bed?
Copy !req
974. Well, it certainly wasn't easy.
Copy !req
975. Good morning, gentlemen. Mr. Shelby.
Copy !req
976. So, you already put that in a GT40?
Copy !req
977. I'm afraid we have.
Copy !req
978. I'll be damned.
Copy !req
979. Well, it's heavy, of course.
Copy !req
980. Problems with the handling,
especially the stopping.
Copy !req
981. - I can show you the data.
- What problems?
Copy !req
982. - Understeers a little, but...
- Can I, uh, borrow that?
Copy !req
983. Can I borrow that?
Copy !req
984. Just a second. Thank you.
Copy !req
985. Ken!
Copy !req
986. Ken, perhaps you want to check
with HQ before you test...
Copy !req
987. What did he say?
Copy !req
988. We should ask...
Copy !req
989. Right.
Copy !req
990. Oh, yes!
Copy !req
991. Mr. Shelby, welcome to Dearborn.
Copy !req
992. What are you doing at a test track?
Copy !req
993. You're gonna get Castrol oil
all over that nice suit.
Copy !req
994. Ah, I wanted to hear your thoughts
on a few planning decisions.
Copy !req
995. You know, personnel for Le Mans.
Copy !req
996. Well, it's a hell of a lineup.
Copy !req
997. Ken Miles, Phil Hill,
Copy !req
998. Chris Amon, Bruce McLaren.
Copy !req
999. Hill's a lock. Amon, McLaren, too.
Copy !req
1000. We're less sure about Miles.
Copy !req
1001. We like Richie Ginther...
Copy !req
1002. Masten Gregory, Bob Bondurant.
Copy !req
1003. Well, you're gonna want
the best driver for the car.
Copy !req
1004. Understands the machine.
Copy !req
1005. That's Ken.
Copy !req
1006. Oh! Yes!
Copy !req
1007. More of that, please.
More of that, my girl.
Copy !req
1008. I may not get the finer points
of racing, Mr. Shelby,
Copy !req
1009. but I do know people.
Copy !req
1010. Miles is a...
Copy !req
1011. Well, he's a beatnik. He dresses like one.
Copy !req
1012. Ford means reliability.
Copy !req
1013. Ken Miles is not a Ford man.
Copy !req
1014. Whoa!
Copy !req
1015. Giddy-up! Giddy-up!
Copy !req
1016. What's the lap record here, Burt?
Copy !req
1017. 1:58.
Copy !req
1018. - 1:50 dead.
- A beatnik?
Copy !req
1019. That man landed a busted tank
on the beach at D-Day
Copy !req
1020. and drove it clean
across Europe to Berlin.
Copy !req
1021. A beatnik?
Copy !req
1022. You know, Lee here asked me a while back,
Copy !req
1023. "What's the one thing money can't buy?"
Copy !req
1024. I'll tell you what it is.
Copy !req
1025. A pure racer behind the wheel of your car.
Copy !req
1026. That's Ken Miles.
Copy !req
1027. Well, be that as it may...
Copy !req
1028. we think he may be too pure.
Copy !req
1029. Carroll, do not lose sight
of the big picture here.
Copy !req
1030. "Too pure"?
Copy !req
1031. What exactly does that mean?
Copy !req
1032. It means he's all about himself.
Copy !req
1033. ABC puts a microphone under his nose,
Copy !req
1034. perhaps there's a detail he dislikes,
Copy !req
1035. millions watching...
Copy !req
1036. do you trust him not to
put out the wrong message?
Copy !req
1037. Well, look, you can get a clean-cut,
all-American poster boy
Copy !req
1038. and stick him behind the wheel,
Copy !req
1039. teach him what to say.
Copy !req
1040. Shit, you get Doris Day to drive the car,
if all you want to do is lose.
Copy !req
1041. So, you don't agree with us on this issue?
Copy !req
1042. I'm saying you gotta trust me on this one.
Copy !req
1043. Carroll, with marketing concerns,
that's just not possible.
Copy !req
1044. Put a Ford-type driver
in a Ford car, Mr. Shelby.
Copy !req
1045. That's the Ford way.
Copy !req
1046. Yet another championship win for Ferrari
Copy !req
1047. as British driver John Surtees
Copy !req
1048. pilots his Ferrari 312...
Copy !req
1049. Ferrari wins.
Copy !req
1050. It's Surtees'
first win since the '64...
Copy !req
1051. Wedges. We have wedges.
Copy !req
1052. Oh, good, good, good.
Copy !req
1053. Perfect.
Copy !req
1054. - 40?
- Yep.
Copy !req
1055. - Hey, boss.
- Hey, Dan.
Copy !req
1056. - Boss, Ferrari just bagged...
- You got a passport?
Copy !req
1057. What's that?
Copy !req
1058. Sign that. Get a passport.
Copy !req
1059. Get it back to me by Friday. Frosty.
Copy !req
1060. Boys, I'm going to France.
Copy !req
1061. Phil.
Copy !req
1062. Ken, can I get a word?
Copy !req
1063. Oh.
Copy !req
1064. Can I take this?
Copy !req
1065. Hey.
Copy !req
1066. Do you know why Ford named it the GT40?
Copy !req
1067. Why they put that "40" on there?
Copy !req
1068. - No.
- Regulations. All right?
Copy !req
1069. We gotta be 40 inches high
Copy !req
1070. to make the ground clearance requirements.
Copy !req
1071. No more, no less.
Copy !req
1072. They measure it before every race.
Copy !req
1073. Problem is, that with that height,
Copy !req
1074. there's too much drag
under the car, all right?
Copy !req
1075. So, we have a solution.
Copy !req
1076. Wedges. We put wedges in the suspension...
Copy !req
1077. You're not coming next week.
Copy !req
1078. You're not coming, Ken.
Copy !req
1079. We're taking McLaren,
Chris Amon, Phil Hill...
Copy !req
1080. and Bob Bondurant.
Copy !req
1081. It's Ford's call.
Copy !req
1082. It is their opinion that
you are not a good image,
Copy !req
1083. so you cannot drive their race car.
Copy !req
1084. And putting aside the fact
that you made that car
Copy !req
1085. whatever the hell it is...
Copy !req
1086. and you're the best man
I got behind the wheel...
Copy !req
1087. I'm gonna reroute the oil line.
Copy !req
1088. If there's spillage, it could drip
onto the rear nearside disc.
Copy !req
1089. Ken...
Copy !req
1090. Tell the boys
to watch their pace come sunrise.
Copy !req
1091. The, uh, the gearbox will overheat.
Copy !req
1092. Ken, the race is starting soon.
Copy !req
1093. Want it on the radio?
Copy !req
1094. Not unless you do.
Copy !req
1095. Of the race.
Copy !req
1096. There they are.
Copy !req
1097. The Maserati going into the Esses,
Copy !req
1098. but it's still the number 2 car,
driven by Chris Amon.
Copy !req
1099. In third place, is the number 1 Ford
Copy !req
1100. that is driven by Bruce McLaren.
Copy !req
1101. A tremendously fast start for the Ford GT.
Copy !req
1102. 3:43.4 lap for car number 2, a Ford.
Copy !req
1103. I think it's a little bit quick
Copy !req
1104. for this stage of the game.
Copy !req
1105. Little bit quick right now.
Copy !req
1106. Racing too hot.
Copy !req
1107. This could go down
to the last hour or so, don't you think?
Copy !req
1108. It could, but the probabilities
Copy !req
1109. for a finish like that
in a 24-hour race are awfully small.
Copy !req
1110. Another Ford
has come into the pits.
Copy !req
1111. It's being pushed into
the pits by the mechanics.
Copy !req
1112. Head gasket.
Copy !req
1113. The car's not a moon rocket.
Copy !req
1114. Trailing
Bob Bondurant in fourth,
Copy !req
1115. car number 7.
Copy !req
1116. Leading number 20, Ferrari.
Michael Parkes.
Copy !req
1117. So, we have Ford running one,
two, three. How about that?
Copy !req
1118. Too soon. Surely too soon.
Copy !req
1119. One has to really be respectful
Copy !req
1120. of the mechanism with any...
Copy !req
1121. Here's the big story,
Copy !req
1122. the lead Ford, driven
by Richie Ginther, retired
Copy !req
1123. with gearbox trouble,
and the new leader...
Copy !req
1124. Gearbox. I told them. Be gentle with it.
Copy !req
1125. And his
partner Lorenzo Bandini...
Copy !req
1126. who was one of
Copy !req
1127. the two winning drivers last year.
Copy !req
1128. Who's there?
Copy !req
1129. Again, we're back,
speaking to you live from Le Mans, France.
Copy !req
1130. The 24 Hours of Le Mans,
the Grand Prix of Endurance,
Copy !req
1131. the 33rd renewal.
Copy !req
1132. What's that you're listening to?
Copy !req
1133. Oh, some race over in France.
Copy !req
1134. Exciting?
Copy !req
1135. I'm not really paying much attention.
Copy !req
1136. However, Phil,
there was one time in 1933,
Copy !req
1137. when the lead changed hands three times.
Copy !req
1138. It's not exactly champagne...
Copy !req
1139. But it's got bubbles.
Copy !req
1140. Thanks, Mollie.
Copy !req
1141. There's a difference
between Ford and Ferrari...
Copy !req
1142. Grace.
Copy !req
1143. Yes, sir. I will send him right in.
Copy !req
1144. Thank you.
Copy !req
1145. Mr. Shelby, Mr. Ford will see you now.
Copy !req
1146. - All right.
- Are you still willing
Copy !req
1147. to stake your reputation on this guy?
Copy !req
1148. This way, Mr. Shelby.
Copy !req
1149. Mr. Ford.
Copy !req
1150. Gentlemen.
Copy !req
1151. Shelby.
Copy !req
1152. Give me one reason
why I don't fire everyone
Copy !req
1153. associated with this abomination
starting with you.
Copy !req
1154. Well, sir...
Copy !req
1155. I was thinking about that very question
Copy !req
1156. as I sat out there
in your lovely waiting room.
Copy !req
1157. As I was sitting there...
Copy !req
1158. I watched that little
red folder right there...
Copy !req
1159. go through four pairs of hands...
Copy !req
1160. before it got to you.
Copy !req
1161. 'Course that doesn't include...
Copy !req
1162. the 22 or so other Ford employees
Copy !req
1163. who probably poked at it before it made
Copy !req
1164. its way up to the 19th floor.
Copy !req
1165. All due respect, sir,
Copy !req
1166. you can't win a race by committee.
Copy !req
1167. You need one man in charge.
Copy !req
1168. Now, the good news, as I see it,
Copy !req
1169. is that even with all the extra weight...
Copy !req
1170. we still managed to put old Mr. Ferrari
exactly where we want him.
Copy !req
1171. Did we?
Copy !req
1172. Oh, yes.
Copy !req
1173. Expand.
Copy !req
1174. Well...
Copy !req
1175. sure, we hadn't...
Copy !req
1176. We haven't worked out how to corner yet.
Copy !req
1177. Or stay cool.
Copy !req
1178. Or stay on the ground.
Copy !req
1179. And a lot of stuff broke.
Copy !req
1180. In fact, the only thing that
didn't break was the brakes.
Copy !req
1181. Hell, right now, we don't even know
Copy !req
1182. if our paint job will last
the whole 24 hours.
Copy !req
1183. But our last lap...
Copy !req
1184. we clocked 218 miles an hour
down the Mulsanne Straight.
Copy !req
1185. Now, in all his years of racing...
Copy !req
1186. old Enzo ain't never seen
anything move that fast.
Copy !req
1187. And now he knows...
Copy !req
1188. without a doubt...
Copy !req
1189. we're faster than he is...
Copy !req
1190. even with the wrong driver...
Copy !req
1191. and all the committees.
Copy !req
1192. And that's what he's thinking about
while he's sitting in Modena, Italy...
Copy !req
1193. right now.
Copy !req
1194. That man is scared to death...
Copy !req
1195. that this year you actually
might be smart enough
Copy !req
1196. to start trusting me.
Copy !req
1197. So, yeah...
Copy !req
1198. I'd say you got Ferrari
exactly where you want him.
Copy !req
1199. You're welcome.
Copy !req
1200. Come here.
Copy !req
1201. See that little building down there?
Copy !req
1202. In World War ll...
Copy !req
1203. three out of five US bombers
rolled off that line.
Copy !req
1204. You think Roosevelt beat Hitler?
Copy !req
1205. Think again.
Copy !req
1206. This isn't the first time
Ford Motor's gone to war in Europe.
Copy !req
1207. We know how to do more than push paper.
Copy !req
1208. And there is one man running this company.
Copy !req
1209. You report to him.
Copy !req
1210. You understand me?
Copy !req
1211. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
1212. Go ahead, Carroll. Go to war.
Copy !req
1213. Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
1214. You were right.
Copy !req
1215. It's the gearbox.
Copy !req
1216. We ran too hot.
Copy !req
1217. Three out of four of 'em broke.
Copy !req
1218. The rod blew on the other one.
Copy !req
1219. We're going back, Ken.
Copy !req
1220. They told me I had
"carte Blanche" this time.
Copy !req
1221. I looked it up.
It's French for "horseshit."
Copy !req
1222. I know they're gonna squeeze
our nuts any way they can
Copy !req
1223. soon as they work out how.
Copy !req
1224. Well, the, uh...
Copy !req
1225. ice cream's melting.
Copy !req
1226. All right. Hey, Ken.
Copy !req
1227. You want me to apologize?
Copy !req
1228. Mmm.
Copy !req
1229. You want me to beg?
Copy !req
1230. I don't know. Let's try it out.
Copy !req
1231. Let's, uh, see how that feels.
Copy !req
1232. Ken, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1233. Sincerely.
Copy !req
1234. Mmm.
Copy !req
1235. Do you have any idea the kind
of shit that I had to eat
Copy !req
1236. just to get four wheels on that grid?
Copy !req
1237. No, you don't.
Copy !req
1238. 'Cause you don't deal
with any of that stuff.
Copy !req
1239. Now knock it off, Ken. We got work to do,
and this car ain't gonna build itself.
Copy !req
1240. Okay. All right.
Copy !req
1241. God.
Copy !req
1242. Come here.
Copy !req
1243. - Bloody car salesman.
- Shit!
Copy !req
1244. Come on. Now you're gonna get it.
Copy !req
1245. Get off me!
Copy !req
1246. Stubborn son of a bitch.
Copy !req
1247. God!
Copy !req
1248. - You just look...
- Right.
Copy !req
1249. - Yeah, now.
- You...
Copy !req
1250. - Ow!
- You all right?
Copy !req
1251. Shit!
Copy !req
1252. Now you're gonna get it.
Copy !req
1253. Come here.
Copy !req
1254. Done.
Copy !req
1255. Mollie, darling.
Copy !req
1256. Yes, love?
Copy !req
1257. Can I get a fizzy pop, please?
Copy !req
1258. Yes, love.
Copy !req
1259. You want one, too, Shelby?
Copy !req
1260. - No. No.
- Uh, yes, please, Mollie.
Copy !req
1261. No. He can get his own.
Copy !req
1262. Just for me, please.
Copy !req
1263. How long has that been?
Copy !req
1264. Oh, it's gotta be three
or four years, at least.
Copy !req
1265. Right. Riverside.
Copy !req
1266. Yeah. SCCA Divisional Championship.
Copy !req
1267. You broke my finger.
Copy !req
1268. What's that nippy bloody thing
Copy !req
1269. you do under the arm, that thing?
Copy !req
1270. Yeah. I call that the Llama Bite.
Copy !req
1271. You name it?
Copy !req
1272. Where'd you learn that? The Girl Scouts?
Copy !req
1273. - What? You wanna go again?
- Here you go.
Copy !req
1274. You're an angel.
Copy !req
1275. Thank you.
Copy !req
1276. My pleasure.
Copy !req
1277. Right. Well, I'm about to go
to the grocery store.
Copy !req
1278. Anything you think you'll need?
Copy !req
1279. Um, ice cream.
Copy !req
1280. Ice cream would be good and, uh...
Copy !req
1281. bread.
Copy !req
1282. Right.
Copy !req
1283. No, I'm good. Thank you.
Copy !req
1284. Thanks, Moll.
Copy !req
1285. You still take those for your ticker?
Copy !req
1286. Only 'cause they're so delicious.
Copy !req
1287. - Up yours.
- Oh, go to hell.
Copy !req
1288. Come on. Giddy-up.
Giddy-up. Giddy-up. Giddy-up!
Copy !req
1289. Phil! Here's the one for you, mate.
Copy !req
1290. Dino, come here.
Copy !req
1291. - Well?
- There's still lag when I hit the gas.
Copy !req
1292. Let's get rid of the vacuum secondaries.
Copy !req
1293. Charlie, get a Holley carb.
Copy !req
1294. We're gonna rebuild the throttle assembly.
Copy !req
1295. Three weeks to Daytona,
Copy !req
1296. and it still feels
like a bag of squirrels.
Copy !req
1297. Brake heat.
Copy !req
1298. That's a whole different ball game.
Copy !req
1299. All right, Petey,
let's go for that ride.
Copy !req
1300. What are you doing?
Copy !req
1301. You see that crack?
Copy !req
1302. That's my marker for turn eight.
Copy !req
1303. What, to slow down?
Copy !req
1304. Uh, brush the brakes and downshift.
Copy !req
1305. But you'll be going 150 miles an hour.
Copy !req
1306. Yeah.
Copy !req
1307. So how do you see it?
Copy !req
1308. You're going fast,
but as the car speeds up...
Copy !req
1309. everything else slows down.
Copy !req
1310. You don't do that.
Copy !req
1311. You do this. Right?
Copy !req
1312. And then you see everything.
Copy !req
1313. Do you set other markers?
Copy !req
1314. Indeed I do.
Copy !req
1315. Lots of them.
Copy !req
1316. Yeah, 'cause you can't just push
the car hard the whole way, right?
Copy !req
1317. That's right. You have
to be kind to the car.
Copy !req
1318. You feel the poor thing
groaning underneath you.
Copy !req
1319. If you're gonna push a piece
of machinery to the limit
Copy !req
1320. and expect it to hold together,
Copy !req
1321. you have to have some sense
of where that limit is.
Copy !req
1322. Look out there.
Copy !req
1323. Out there is the perfect lap.
Copy !req
1324. No mistakes.
Copy !req
1325. Every gear change, every corner...
Copy !req
1326. perfect.
Copy !req
1327. You see it?
Copy !req
1328. I think so.
Copy !req
1329. Most people can't.
Copy !req
1330. Most people don't even know
it's out there, but it is.
Copy !req
1331. It's there.
Copy !req
1332. You want some ice cream?
Copy !req
1333. - Yeah.
- All right.
Copy !req
1334. Come on, then.
Copy !req
1335. Do you know what this marker is?
Copy !req
1336. - What?
- That one.
Copy !req
1337. Pull my finger. You'll find out.
Copy !req
1338. How much longer before he comes in?
Copy !req
1339. Uh, well, we change drivers
every four hours,
Copy !req
1340. - so about 10 minutes.
- No, hang on.
Copy !req
1341. You're saying Beebe
is 100 percent in charge now?
Copy !req
1342. Yes, and he wants Miles gone.
Copy !req
1343. Look, it is personal with this guy.
Copy !req
1344. And, yes, he has the leverage
to stick it to you.
Copy !req
1345. He and the Deuce
are flying there tomorrow.
Copy !req
1346. He's gonna tell you in person.
Copy !req
1347. Now, all he is hoping for
Copy !req
1348. - is that you lose your cool.
- Uh-huh.
Copy !req
1349. It's time to let this go.
Copy !req
1350. You cannot destroy the whole thing.
Copy !req
1351. Not for one goddamn guy.
Copy !req
1352. - Sure, I can.
- Well, why?
Copy !req
1353. 'Cause while we're here talking,
he's out there getting it done.
Copy !req
1354. Oh, shit!
Copy !req
1355. He's got brake fade.
Copy !req
1356. Ease off!
Copy !req
1357. Carroll?
Copy !req
1358. - Get him out!
- Peter!
Copy !req
1359. Go on. Go inside.
Copy !req
1360. Just stay there.
Copy !req
1361. - Get Ken!
- Ken!
Copy !req
1362. Get him out!
Copy !req
1363. There he is!
Copy !req
1364. Ken!
Copy !req
1365. I can see him.
Copy !req
1366. - Ken!
- Come on.
Copy !req
1367. The brakes.
Copy !req
1368. Let's just rip out
the damn engine. All right?
Copy !req
1369. We can't use it if we can't stop.
Copy !req
1370. You know,
the brakes would last longer
Copy !req
1371. if we slowed down a bit.
Copy !req
1372. Wouldn't that defeat the whole
purpose of the extra power?
Copy !req
1373. You know, I thought the whole point
was to win the damned race.
Copy !req
1374. Maybe we could design
a new assembly.
Copy !req
1375. Instead of swapping out
the pads in the pits...
Copy !req
1376. swap out the entire braking system.
Copy !req
1377. Rotors included.
Copy !req
1378. Put in a fresh one.
Copy !req
1379. Wait, wait, wait, Pops,
are we allowed to do that?
Copy !req
1380. I don't know. I don't read French.
Copy !req
1381. Well, brakes are "a part"
like any other, right?
Copy !req
1382. We are allowed to change parts.
Copy !req
1383. Yes.
Will we have time to do that?
Copy !req
1384. I don't know yet, Charlie.
Copy !req
1385. - I'm gonna take him home.
- All right.
Copy !req
1386. - Sort this shit out.
- I will.
Copy !req
1387. Have you ever been on fire?
Copy !req
1388. Uh, well, no, it's never happened to me.
Copy !req
1389. The suit's flameproof, see?
Copy !req
1390. It, uh, keeps heat out.
Copy !req
1391. Yeah.
Copy !req
1392. But Lewis-Evans burned to death
in the Moroccan Grand Prix.
Copy !req
1393. He had a flameproof suit on.
Copy !req
1394. Mm-hmm. Yeah, but, um...
Copy !req
1395. See, he got stuck.
Copy !req
1396. He couldn't breathe.
Copy !req
1397. So, as long as you get out
of the car, you're okay.
Copy !req
1398. Dad got out.
Copy !req
1399. - He sure did.
- Peter!
Copy !req
1400. Bye.
Copy !req
1401. See ya.
Copy !req
1402. - You all right?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1403. What's wrong with you?
Copy !req
1404. And don't be telling me brakes
or me almost kicking the bucket out there.
Copy !req
1405. It's something to do
with the suits, isn't it?
Copy !req
1406. It's under control.
Copy !req
1407. What is it?
Copy !req
1408. You know how we talked about
how you do your thing,
Copy !req
1409. I do my thing?
Copy !req
1410. - This is my thing.
- Really, Shel...
Copy !req
1411. Just trust me, Ken.
Copy !req
1412. You got a plan?
Copy !req
1413. Absolutely.
Copy !req
1414. It a good one?
Copy !req
1415. It's high risk.
Copy !req
1416. How high risk?
Copy !req
1417. Extremely high risk.
Copy !req
1418. Well, that's something.
Copy !req
1419. - Glad we had this talk.
- Anytime.
Copy !req
1420. Mr. Ford, this is a surprise.
Copy !req
1421. Apologies for the unannounced
intrusion, Mr. Shelby,
Copy !req
1422. but when a man pays $9 million
for an automobile,
Copy !req
1423. he ought to at least be able to see it.
Copy !req
1424. Well, that sounds reasonable enough.
Copy !req
1425. Uh, Shelby, could I have a word?
Copy !req
1426. Sure.
Copy !req
1427. - In private?
- Uh, yeah.
Copy !req
1428. That would be preferable.
Copy !req
1429. All right. Hey, Phil.
Copy !req
1430. You wanna take care of Mr. Ford here?
Copy !req
1431. Mr. Ford, that's Phil Remington.
Copy !req
1432. Of course.
Copy !req
1433. Come up to my office, Leo.
Copy !req
1434. - Pleasure to meet you, sir.
- Phil.
Copy !req
1435. Give you a little tour of your car.
Copy !req
1436. We, uh, took out your 289 small block...
Copy !req
1437. and put in a 4277-liter.
Copy !req
1438. Uh, firstly, I want to just clear the air.
Copy !req
1439. I hope that whatever disagreements
Copy !req
1440. between us can just be chalked up...
Copy !req
1441. to natural red-bloodedness
in the heat of battle.
Copy !req
1442. Oh, I appreciate that, Leo. Truly, I do.
Copy !req
1443. It falls on me, Shelby, to inform you
that I have been appointed
Copy !req
1444. overall executive director
of the racing program.
Copy !req
1445. Now, I do hope that this
won't be a problem between us.
Copy !req
1446. Well, I assure you, Leo, it will not.
Copy !req
1447. Hey, Carroll...
Copy !req
1448. Carroll!
Copy !req
1449. And what is that top speed
with the, uh, 427?
Copy !req
1450. Well, why don't we take it for a spin?
Copy !req
1451. - What?
- Yeah, go on, Mr. Ford.
Copy !req
1452. - Hop on in. Go on.
- You want me to...
Copy !req
1453. Just see
what $9 million feels like.
Copy !req
1454. Hey!
Copy !req
1455. God...
Copy !req
1456. Open the door!
Copy !req
1457. Hey, open the door!
Copy !req
1458. Open the door!
Copy !req
1459. Just hold me right there,
and you take my hand.
Copy !req
1460. Oh, God. I sat on my nuts.
Copy !req
1461. We're gonna build the next one
for comfort. Don't you worry.
Copy !req
1462. Open the door.
Copy !req
1463. Sorry, sir, if you just give me a moment.
Copy !req
1464. - Open the door.
- It's a sticky one.
Copy !req
1465. You ready?
Copy !req
1466. The name on the middle
of that steering wheel
Copy !req
1467. should tell you that I was
born ready, Shelby. Hit it.
Copy !req
1468. Attaboy.
Copy !req
1469. Whoa! It's got a little kick, doesn't it?
Copy !req
1470. - Open this door.
- Oh, there we go.
Copy !req
1471. Good God, Mr. Beebe. You okay, sir?
Copy !req
1472. Whoa! Oh, my God!
Copy !req
1473. Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Copy !req
1474. Yeah, baby.
Copy !req
1475. Yeah, baby.
Copy !req
1476. It's about right now the uninitiated
have a tendency to soil themselves.
Copy !req
1477. Oh, my God! Whoa!
Copy !req
1478. Mr. Ford...
Copy !req
1479. You okay?
Copy !req
1480. Mr. Ford...
Copy !req
1481. you all right?
Copy !req
1482. I had no idea.
Copy !req
1483. I wish my daddy...
Copy !req
1484. he were alive to see this.
Copy !req
1485. To feel this.
Copy !req
1486. Now, this is not a machine
just anybody can get in
Copy !req
1487. and easily control.
Copy !req
1488. Absolutely not.
Copy !req
1489. I had no idea.
Copy !req
1490. Now, you wanna win Le Mans.
Copy !req
1491. If you really wanna take first place,
Ken Miles is the man to do it.
Copy !req
1492. Good timing.
Copy !req
1493. Now, he knows this car
Copy !req
1494. because he helped me build it.
Copy !req
1495. Shelby, you know I've already
appointed Leo Beebe director of racing.
Copy !req
1496. Which is exactly why I'm talking to you.
Copy !req
1497. Now, you let Ken Miles race Daytona.
Copy !req
1498. If he wins...
Copy !req
1499. he gets to drive Le Mans.
Copy !req
1500. And if he doesn't?
Copy !req
1501. Ford Motor Company gets full ownership
of Shelby American.
Copy !req
1502. Lock, stock, and brand.
Copy !req
1503. Forever.
Copy !req
1504. We're in
hour six at the Daytona 24,
Copy !req
1505. and Fords are dominating the leaderboard.
Copy !req
1506. Shelby American's Ken Miles
holds a narrow lead
Copy !req
1507. over the Holman-Moody Ford
driven by Walt Hansgen.
Copy !req
1508. I don't bloody think so, Walt.
Copy !req
1509. Oh, this race is not just
a test of our cars,
Copy !req
1510. but also our teams.
Copy !req
1511. As you know, we have
a second team out there today.
Copy !req
1512. - Holman-Moody.
- That's right.
Copy !req
1513. Number 95, Hansgen,
blisters through the front tri-oval
Copy !req
1514. while closing in on Ken Miles.
Copy !req
1515. Walt's pushing her too fast.
Copy !req
1516. He's pushing 7,000 RPM.
Copy !req
1517. Hey, get the EZ sign out there.
Copy !req
1518. Come on. Move. Do it now.
Copy !req
1519. Every one of these GTs out there today
is under my direct supervision.
Copy !req
1520. And of course the supervision
of Henry Ford ll.
Copy !req
1521. The drivers, the speed, the strategy...
Copy !req
1522. even the RPMs are determined by us.
Copy !req
1523. Ken Miles
is locked in a pitched battle
Copy !req
1524. with Hansgen as they pass the grandstand.
Copy !req
1525. Hansgen is taking a run
at Miles entering turn one.
Copy !req
1526. Miles is boxed in.
Copy !req
1527. Hansgen slips by and takes the lead
approaching the infield chicane.
Copy !req
1528. Cor blimey!
Copy !req
1529. Did you see that?
Copy !req
1530. The caution flag is out.
Copy !req
1531. Still racing. Hey, we are still racing.
Copy !req
1532. Come on, guys, let's go!
Copy !req
1533. Let's go. Move it.
Copy !req
1534. He's coming in.
Copy !req
1535. Let's go, let's go, guys. Come on.
Copy !req
1536. Go, tires up.
Copy !req
1537. Here, right here.
Let's go. Let's go. Move it.
Copy !req
1538. - Fuel flying in.
- Breaker bar!
Copy !req
1539. - We're good.
- It all checked out.
Copy !req
1540. - 36. 38.
- Go! Go!
Copy !req
1541. Hansgen is right up our arse.
Copy !req
1542. If I can just get
outta the pit ahead of him...
Copy !req
1543. She's running hot,
but I think she'll hold.
Copy !req
1544. - Fuel's low.
- Bring up the scoop.
Copy !req
1545. She's hot.
Copy !req
1546. Hey there, Walt. Good to see you.
Copy !req
1547. Yeah, after I get out of this pit, Shelby,
it's the last time you will.
Copy !req
1548. Oh, don't worry.
Copy !req
1549. We got rearview mirrors.
Copy !req
1550. What happened to that Mustang he took out?
Copy !req
1551. Don't know yet.
Copy !req
1552. I can push her harder than six, Shel.
Copy !req
1553. - I can feel it.
- Uh-huh.
Copy !req
1554. Hey, how come these guys pit
so much faster than we do?
Copy !req
1555. They got a goddamn
NASCAR crew, that's why.
Copy !req
1556. - No shit?
- No shit.
Copy !req
1557. Go! Go, come on.
Copy !req
1558. We're clear, we're clear.
Copy !req
1559. Goddamn NASCAR crew.
Copy !req
1560. Go, go, go!
Copy !req
1561. Guys, they've already left.
Copy !req
1562. Hello?
Copy !req
1563. There's my Mollie. Hello.
Copy !req
1564. Hiya, love.
Copy !req
1565. - Mom? Mom?
- What are you doing?
Copy !req
1566. Just having a cuppa.
Copy !req
1567. Mom, ask him about the brakes.
Copy !req
1568. - Go to bed. It's 1:00 a.m.
- Ask him.
Copy !req
1569. Go to bed. Now.
Copy !req
1570. I take it he's not asleep.
Copy !req
1571. I'm sure he smuggled in a radio.
Copy !req
1572. Yeah.
Copy !req
1573. He said to ask, "How are the brakes?"
Copy !req
1574. The brakes? Yes. No, no, no.
Copy !req
1575. Tell him they're working for now.
Copy !req
1576. You know, Shelby's been acting
very strange.
Copy !req
1577. - Ford have gone...
- Ken.
Copy !req
1578. And put up another team.
Copy !req
1579. - With a GT.
- Ken.
Copy !req
1580. Some sort of yampy, bloody
corporate test or something, I dunno.
Copy !req
1581. Just take a rest
whenever you get a chance.
Copy !req
1582. Sorry, my love, what were you saying?
Copy !req
1583. You've only got a few hours.
Copy !req
1584. I can't hear you very well.
Copy !req
1585. I'm sorry. I can't hear you.
Copy !req
1586. Wish me luck.
Copy !req
1587. - Good luck.
- I love you, darling.
Copy !req
1588. After 23 hours here at Daytona,
Copy !req
1589. Walt Hansgen driving
the green and white Ford
Copy !req
1590. has a commanding lead
over Ken Miles and Shelby American
Copy !req
1591. as the rest of the field
has fallen off the pace.
Copy !req
1592. We're locked out.
Copy !req
1593. Ain't nothing Miles can do
this late in the race.
Copy !req
1594. Engine's hot. We gotta keep it
under six thou.
Copy !req
1595. All right.
Copy !req
1596. She could come apart.
Copy !req
1597. One way to find out.
Copy !req
1598. I thought we were keeping him under 6,000?
Copy !req
1599. Shut up, Don.
Copy !req
1600. With only minutes
of racing left here at Daytona,
Copy !req
1601. a pitched battle for the lead
is being waged
Copy !req
1602. as the number 98 Ford makes
an incredible late surge.
Copy !req
1603. - What's happening?
- He's moving up.
Copy !req
1604. entering the front tri-oval,
Copy !req
1605. Ken Miles' desperate bid
for the win may prove to be...
Copy !req
1606. Come on now!
Copy !req
1607. White flag! Last lap!
Copy !req
1608. Miles is pushing him. Hard.
Copy !req
1609. That's it, girl.
Copy !req
1610. Ken Miles drafts Walt Hansgen
coming into the final turn.
Copy !req
1611. Come on. Come on.
Copy !req
1612. What the hell?
Copy !req
1613. Come on.
Copy !req
1614. All right.
Copy !req
1615. Look at this now.
Copy !req
1616. Damn it!
Copy !req
1617. Yeah!
Copy !req
1618. Ken Miles
takes the checkered flag,
Copy !req
1619. bringing glory to Shelby American.
Copy !req
1620. How about that?
Copy !req
1621. Reliability, strength...
Copy !req
1622. Yes, Leo.
Copy !req
1623. Mr. Ford, sir, we won.
Copy !req
1624. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
1625. We won! Ford won Daytona.
Copy !req
1626. Hot damn.
Copy !req
1627. And which team was it, Leo?
Copy !req
1628. Shelby American. Miles driving.
Copy !req
1629. Son of a bitch.
Copy !req
1630. All right.
Copy !req
1631. Where the hell is he?
Copy !req
1632. Hang on, I see him. Hey, wait.
Copy !req
1633. Someone lost a bulldog on the beach.
Copy !req
1634. No, no. Come on. Come on.
Copy !req
1635. Come on. Let's go. Let's go.
Copy !req
1636. Someone get this man a drink.
Someone get him a drink.
Copy !req
1637. Oi.
Copy !req
1638. In bed, you. What are you doing?
Copy !req
1639. Dirty stop out.
Copy !req
1640. I was...
Copy !req
1641. drawing a map, so I could
follow you on Le Mans.
Copy !req
1642. Mmm.
Copy !req
1643. Look at that.
Copy !req
1644. That is spot on.
Copy !req
1645. You are a dab hand, very accurate.
Copy !req
1646. Tell me about the track.
Copy !req
1647. No, I can't, Petey.
Copy !req
1648. Please.
Copy !req
1649. Well, you start at the start line.
Copy !req
1650. Yeah, but you actually start here
Copy !req
1651. because you have to run
to your car at Le Mans.
Copy !req
1652. True enough.
Copy !req
1653. So, once your old man manages
to hobble over...
Copy !req
1654. - and pull out...
- And not hit anyone.
Copy !req
1655. Yes, right.
Copy !req
1656. Then you accelerate very hard
up to Dunlop Bridge...
Copy !req
1657. road banking away from ya
Copy !req
1658. and down through the trees to the Esses...
Copy !req
1659. and accelerate up to Tertre Rouge.
Copy !req
1660. Critical first gear corner.
Copy !req
1661. Fast entry.
Copy !req
1662. Keep your speed up for your exit onto...
Copy !req
1663. Mulsanne.
Copy !req
1664. Long straightaway, hemmed in by poplars.
Copy !req
1665. Top gear, 210 miles per hour.
Copy !req
1666. And down to third, revs up.
Copy !req
1667. Revs are your friend.
Copy !req
1668. Get a maximum exit. Let the car run free.
Copy !req
1669. Over the brow...
Copy !req
1670. then wham!
Copy !req
1671. Mulsanne Corner.
Copy !req
1672. Accelerate to Arnage
Copy !req
1673. and then over the rise to the White House.
Copy !req
1674. You get that right and...
Copy !req
1675. your first three and a half minutes...
Copy !req
1676. of 24 hours.
Copy !req
1677. But... you can't make every lap perfect.
Copy !req
1678. But I can try.
Copy !req
1679. All right.
Copy !req
1680. Off to bed, you.
Copy !req
1681. I will... wake you...
Copy !req
1682. before I leave for France.
Copy !req
1683. I promise.
Copy !req
1684. Okay. Good night.
Copy !req
1685. Eh, where's, um...
Copy !req
1686. Where's that? The Hotel Saint Pierre?
Copy !req
1687. Where?
Copy !req
1688. It's gonna rain again tomorrow.
Copy !req
1689. There's always rain here.
Copy !req
1690. Start'll be dry though,
Copy !req
1691. so we'll swap out your tires come rain.
Copy !req
1692. Yeah.
Copy !req
1693. Might be smart to sleep, Bulldog.
Copy !req
1694. Well, you, too.
Copy !req
1695. I'm not driving.
Copy !req
1696. That's a bloody shame, that.
Copy !req
1697. Oh, hell, I couldn't make this team.
Copy !req
1698. I'm gonna go walk the first corner.
Copy !req
1699. I figured.
Copy !req
1700. Counting on it.
Copy !req
1701. Ken.
Copy !req
1702. Chaz.
Copy !req
1703. We'll change
the color of them seats,
Copy !req
1704. shall we, Frost?
Copy !req
1705. Well, if this were
a beauty pageant...
Copy !req
1706. we just lost.
Copy !req
1707. Looks fast, don't it?
Copy !req
1708. Ah, looks aren't everything.
Copy !req
1709. Scarfiotti and Bandini start for Ferrari.
Copy !req
1710. You can take him.
Copy !req
1711. Four minutes, Ken.
Four minutes, buddy.
Copy !req
1712. Live from Le Mans, France.
Copy !req
1713. Mom! Come on.
Copy !req
1714. All right, coming.
Copy !req
1715. The 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Copy !req
1716. And there are the cars lined up...
Copy !req
1717. Drivers,
please take your places.
Copy !req
1718. - And there they are...
- There he is.
Copy !req
1719. Lined up, ready to go.
Copy !req
1720. They're lined up
as per their practice times.
Copy !req
1721. Faster cars are up to our left.
Copy !req
1722. Oh, bloody joker!
Copy !req
1723. Number 10, a Bizzarrini,
almost loses control.
Copy !req
1724. It's all right.
Copy !req
1725. You looked great out there, sir.
Copy !req
1726. What happened to Miles?
Copy !req
1727. Bloody hell.
Copy !req
1728. No.
Copy !req
1729. Poxy bastard.
Copy !req
1730. After one lap,
Bandini-Ferrari is in first place.
Copy !req
1731. Where is Miles?
Copy !req
1732. - Where the hell is Ken?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
1733. He's coming in.
Copy !req
1734. Oi! He's coming in.
Copy !req
1735. He's coming in. Let's go.
Copy !req
1736. Frosty, come on. Let's go. Move it.
Copy !req
1737. I think it's his door.
Copy !req
1738. That's a rough start
for the Ford team so early...
Copy !req
1739. The bloody door won't close!
Copy !req
1740. All right. All right.
We'll take care of it.
Copy !req
1741. Come on, guys.
Copy !req
1742. Damn door!
Copy !req
1743. - Try that.
- This'll do it.
Copy !req
1744. Shelby, what the hell is wrong?
Copy !req
1745. Something's hitting the frame.
Copy !req
1746. Oh, you're joking, aren't ya?
Copy !req
1747. Guys, get outta the way.
Copy !req
1748. Just get outta the way. Hold it.
Copy !req
1749. Go! Go, go, go!
Copy !req
1750. He's back out.
Copy !req
1751. Go.
Copy !req
1752. Ken Miles, in Shelby American's
Copy !req
1753. Ford number 1, in tenth place.
Copy !req
1754. Tremendous gains
for Ken Miles in Ford number 1.
Copy !req
1755. - Come on, Dad. Come on.
- Passing Porsche 43.
Copy !req
1756. Moving quickly into the
top 20. He's passing them...
Copy !req
1757. Ken Miles, Ford,
has set a new lap record.
Copy !req
1758. Three minutes and 34 seconds.
Copy !req
1759. Yeah!
Copy !req
1760. Ken Miles passed it
with a time of 3:34.3.
Copy !req
1761. Shelby.
Copy !req
1762. He's pushing the car too hard.
That's not the plan.
Copy !req
1763. Plans change.
Copy !req
1764. Lap is 3:34. Track is 8.36.
Copy !req
1765. Someone tell me the miles per hour!
Copy !req
1766. Three minutes, 31.9.
Copy !req
1767. - Another lap record!
- That's an average speed
Copy !req
1768. of 142.01 miles per hour.
Copy !req
1769. Let's go. Let's go, boys.
Copy !req
1770. Tea's ready, Ken.
Copy !req
1771. Oh, thank you, Chaz.
Copy !req
1772. - Happy birthday, old chap!
- Cheers, mate. Great run.
Copy !req
1773. Go, boys. Move, move, move.
Copy !req
1774. Need a quick body check!
Copy !req
1775. You're three seconds faster than Gurney.
Copy !req
1776. If you hadn't blown the start,
you'd be in the lead.
Copy !req
1777. Can you keep this up?
Copy !req
1778. Can the car?
Copy !req
1779. There has been
an incident on turn six.
Copy !req
1780. Number 18 and 26 have collided.
Copy !req
1781. It appears Ferrari number 20,
Copy !req
1782. Ludovico Scarfiotti,
has also left the track.
Copy !req
1783. - All right, watch your head.
- Here you go.
Copy !req
1784. Thank you.
Copy !req
1785. Have a good dinner, sir.
Copy !req
1786. Oi, McLaren's pitting.
Copy !req
1787. Mr. Ford's probably going
somewhere nice for dinner.
Copy !req
1788. What do you mean "probably"?
Copy !req
1789. Rain's coming.
Copy !req
1790. All right.
Copy !req
1791. Coming in.
Copy !req
1792. Go, tires up!
Copy !req
1793. Get 'em checked out.
Copy !req
1794. Engine's running hot, Pops.
Copy !req
1795. - All right.
- She's hot, mate. Crack on.
Copy !req
1796. - Go.
- Well done, Denny.
Copy !req
1797. Tire.
Copy !req
1798. Dash clear.
Copy !req
1799. Swap.
Copy !req
1800. We're at 220. We're okay.
Copy !req
1801. All right.
Copy !req
1802. Fuel flying in.
Copy !req
1803. Rear tires coming up the wall!
Copy !req
1804. Get the fuel in there.
Come on. Let's go.
Copy !req
1805. Swap that out.
Copy !req
1806. Front set.
Copy !req
1807. We're good.
Copy !req
1808. - Get it moving!
- Go! Go!
Copy !req
1809. Go, go!
Copy !req
1810. Good job, guys. Good job.
Copy !req
1811. It was a good change, fellas.
Copy !req
1812. Hey, I need a stopwatch.
Copy !req
1813. Did you see that? The great American automobile
magnate leaves in a helicopter. Very classy.
Copy !req
1814. Lorenzo Bandini remains
in first place for Ferrari.
Copy !req
1815. Easy, Dan. You're getting boxed in.
Copy !req
1816. He's not batting
on a full wicket, that one.
Copy !req
1817. Easy, Dan.
Copy !req
1818. Oh, bloody hell!
Copy !req
1819. You arsehole.
Copy !req
1820. Oh, piss off!
Copy !req
1821. You wanker!
Copy !req
1822. A face like a smacked arse,
now, don't ya?
Copy !req
1823. Porsche number 58
with an unidentified Ford
Copy !req
1824. are run off the track at Arnage.
Copy !req
1825. Go, Ken. Come on, Ken.
Copy !req
1826. Nice stopwatch.
Copy !req
1827. You want one? They're Italian.
Copy !req
1828. Ken Miles in Ford number 1
and Bandini in Ferrari 21
Copy !req
1829. are locked in a battle
against the elements
Copy !req
1830. as they push their cars to the limit
past the White House corner.
Copy !req
1831. And now with all that rain,
the track conditions are wet and slippery
Copy !req
1832. so expect these very fast laps to suffer.
Copy !req
1833. Yes, sir?
Copy !req
1834. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
1835. Okay, sir. Right away, sir.
Copy !req
1836. Hey!
Copy !req
1837. What the hell are you doing? Give me that.
Copy !req
1838. Dumbass.
Copy !req
1839. Mr. Shelby...
Copy !req
1840. Here we go.
Copy !req
1841. Come on, girl.
Copy !req
1842. Come on.
Copy !req
1843. Hold it together now.
Copy !req
1844. God!
Copy !req
1845. Bugger! Come on.
Copy !req
1846. The leader at this
moment is Ferrari number 21
Copy !req
1847. being driven by Lorenzo Bandini.
Copy !req
1848. His brakes are shot.
All right, here we go.
Copy !req
1849. It looks like Ken Miles is
bringing the number 1 Ford
Copy !req
1850. into the pits very slowly.
He could have a...
Copy !req
1851. Coming in. Watch yourself, guys.
Copy !req
1852. - Brakes. Nothing. Gone.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
1853. All right. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Copy !req
1854. I had him. I almost had him.
Copy !req
1855. Well, he's putting another lap on us now.
Copy !req
1856. All right. Fit it in.
Do the upper arm first.
Copy !req
1857. Come on, let's go.
Come in now, now. Faster.
Copy !req
1858. Let's go.
Copy !req
1859. Upper arm first.
Copy !req
1860. Watch the brake line pulling it out.
Copy !req
1861. They're doing it. The brakes.
Copy !req
1862. Now, that's gonna take...
Copy !req
1863. I said watch the brake line.
Copy !req
1864. Faster! Faster! Faster!
Copy !req
1865. Coming in. Watch your back!
Copy !req
1866. Jeff, you've gotta be faster!
Copy !req
1867. Bleed the brakes, Jeff.
Copy !req
1868. No, no, no.
Copy !req
1869. It's against the rules.
You cannot just change things.
Copy !req
1870. Oh, no, no, no.
Copy !req
1871. You show me where it says in your book
that we cannot swap out the system,
Copy !req
1872. and then you can disqualify us.
Copy !req
1873. Bulldog, back off.
Copy !req
1874. Calm down. Calm down.
Copy !req
1875. This is not legal.
Copy !req
1876. You show me where it says
in that little rule book
Copy !req
1877. where I can't swap out
my upright assembly.
Copy !req
1878. A part is a part.
Copy !req
1879. Be it a brake caliper, a rotor,
or an upright assembly,
Copy !req
1880. and I can swap out
any damn thing I want to.
Copy !req
1881. We read your damn rule book.
Copy !req
1882. Bandini's pitting. He's pitting.
Copy !req
1883. Oh, what a shame.
Copy !req
1884. I think he blew a line.
Copy !req
1885. Well, he was trying to keep up with you.
Copy !req
1886. I don't speak Italian, but he ain't happy.
Copy !req
1887. Get me out of here, Pops.
Copy !req
1888. - Come on!
- All right.
Copy !req
1889. Come on!
Copy !req
1890. Almost there, Ken. Almost there.
Copy !req
1891. How's it looking, buddy?
Copy !req
1892. One pump, and we're good.
Copy !req
1893. Car's yours, Ken.
Copy !req
1894. All right, listen, you can still take him,
but you gotta pass him twice.
Copy !req
1895. I get it. Pass him twice.
Copy !req
1896. Ford number 1 driven by Ken Miles
Copy !req
1897. is back out, hot on the heels
of Bandini in Ferrari 21.
Copy !req
1898. Not bloody good enough, Miles! Come on!
Copy !req
1899. He's off his pace.
Copy !req
1900. He doesn't trust the car yet.
Copy !req
1901. Come on, Ken.
I gave you new brakes, buddy.
Copy !req
1902. All right.
Copy !req
1903. What did you come here for?
Copy !req
1904. Let's do it.
Copy !req
1905. That's it! Come on!
Copy !req
1906. He ain't done it yet.
Copy !req
1907. He needs to take another lap on him.
Copy !req
1908. He needs to pit soon.
Copy !req
1909. He needs to catch Bandini first.
Copy !req
1910. All right, you bastard.
Copy !req
1911. Let's do this again.
Copy !req
1912. Come on.
Copy !req
1913. That's my girl! That's my girl!
Copy !req
1914. Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
1915. Bloody hell!
Copy !req
1916. He did it. We're in the lead.
Copy !req
1917. Are we in the lead?
Copy !req
1918. What about Bandini?
Copy !req
1919. Where's Bandini?
Copy !req
1920. They're done. Finished.
Copy !req
1921. Ferrari's over.
Copy !req
1922. McLaren's four minutes behind him in a GT.
Copy !req
1923. So we're lying Ken first,
and two and three. All Fords.
Copy !req
1924. Ferrari number 21
Copy !req
1925. and driver Bandini have left the track.
Copy !req
1926. The Deuce is coming.
Copy !req
1927. Ken's up in a half an hour.
Want me to wake him?
Copy !req
1928. Nah, let him sleep.
Copy !req
1929. - Thank you very much. Thank you.
- Unbelievable.
Copy !req
1930. - Hello.
- Mr. Ford.
Copy !req
1931. We're not quite there yet, but...
Copy !req
1932. You missed a good meal.
Copy !req
1933. There he is. There he is.
Copy !req
1934. Brief me, Leo.
Copy !req
1935. We're running one, two, three, Mr. Ford.
Copy !req
1936. - Who's in the lead?
- Hulme, Miles.
Copy !req
1937. You know, I was thinking, Mr. Ford...
Copy !req
1938. wouldn't it be great
if all three Fords lined up
Copy !req
1939. and crossed the finish line
at the exact same time?
Copy !req
1940. They all lined up and came home together.
Copy !req
1941. Ford. Ford. Ford.
Copy !req
1942. I don't think we can
actually do that, sir, but...
Copy !req
1943. Why not?
Copy !req
1944. Miles is laps ahead, Leo.
Copy !req
1945. What would you have him do, slow down?
Copy !req
1946. Yeah.
Copy !req
1947. Mr. Ford wants Miles to slow down.
Copy !req
1948. He wants all three cars to
cross at the exact same time.
Copy !req
1949. He thinks it'll be
a historic moment for Ford.
Copy !req
1950. It'll make a great photograph.
Copy !req
1951. Shelby, Miles needs to be
a team player here,
Copy !req
1952. and so do you.
Copy !req
1953. You gonna tell him, or you need me to?
Copy !req
1954. Don't go near my driver. Go on.
Copy !req
1955. This is what Mr. Ford wants.
Copy !req
1956. Go on now.
Copy !req
1957. - He expects loyalty.
- Go on.
Copy !req
1958. - Guys, let's go. Come on.
- All right, look lively, boys.
Copy !req
1959. Let's go. Frosty.
Copy !req
1960. Yeah, coming.
Copy !req
1961. - Let's go. Come on.
- What's Beebe want?
Copy !req
1962. Oh.
Copy !req
1963. It's off the scale, innit?
Copy !req
1964. They want you to slow down.
Copy !req
1965. Run that by me again.
Copy !req
1966. They want you to slow down.
Copy !req
1967. You're outshining their car, Ken.
Copy !req
1968. You're four minutes up on McLaren.
Copy !req
1969. The Deuce wants the three Fords
Copy !req
1970. to cross the finish line
one, two, three, all together.
Copy !req
1971. They're asking that
you be a team player...
Copy !req
1972. and make that photograph happen for 'em.
Copy !req
1973. That photograph. That's good.
Copy !req
1974. That is good. Mmm.
Copy !req
1975. Ken, even if you tie for first...
Copy !req
1976. you'd still be the first man
ever to win...
Copy !req
1977. Sebring, Daytona, and Le Mans
in the same year.
Copy !req
1978. You'd have the triple crown.
Copy !req
1979. Look, I ain't get...
Copy !req
1980. I haven't been able to get you
to follow an order
Copy !req
1981. since day one.
Copy !req
1982. Whatever you wanna do is fine with me.
Copy !req
1983. My choice?
Copy !req
1984. Your choice.
Copy !req
1985. The engine's running at boiling.
Copy !req
1986. The brakes are shot.
Copy !req
1987. How was that?
Copy !req
1988. Taken care of.
Copy !req
1989. The car's yours, Ken.
Copy !req
1990. Ken, the car's yours.
Copy !req
1991. Ken!
Copy !req
1992. Car's yours, Ken.
Copy !req
1993. It's the Fords
that are the cars to beat,
Copy !req
1994. claiming the top three positions...
Copy !req
1995. What the hell is he doing?
Copy !req
1996. Led by Ken Miles in Ford number 1...
Copy !req
1997. If you're not
watching this right now...
Copy !req
1998. Don't answer that.
Copy !req
1999. Get away from it.
Copy !req
2000. Ken Miles in Ford
number 1 is demonstrating
Copy !req
2001. why he's one of the top drivers
here at Le Mans
Copy !req
2002. with an outstanding display of skill.
Copy !req
2003. Keep an eye on Ford number 1.
Copy !req
2004. He's gonna break his own record.
Copy !req
2005. Shut up.
Copy !req
2006. Wait for it.
Copy !req
2007. Now.
Copy !req
2008. Miles. Miles. Miles.
Copy !req
2009. Miles. Miles. Miles.
Copy !req
2010. Bellissimo.
Copy !req
2011. 3:30.6. That's another record.
Copy !req
2012. Another lap record
falls to Ken Miles...
Copy !req
2013. It's a perfect lap.
Copy !req
2014. Breaking his own record
and virtually guaranteeing
Copy !req
2015. first place for Shelby American
Copy !req
2016. and their exciting GT40.
Copy !req
2017. Ken Miles in Shelby America's
Copy !req
2018. Ford number 1
just beat his own lap record.
Copy !req
2019. Three minutes and 30.6 seconds...
Copy !req
2020. Bring him in.
Copy !req
2021. Right now! He's outta control.
Copy !req
2022. Now, you bring him in
before he wrecks that car
Copy !req
2023. and we don't finish.
Copy !req
2024. Bring him in, Shelby,
Copy !req
2025. or I will get you banned
from the SCCA and the FIA.
Copy !req
2026. Ken Miles is behind the wheel, Leo.
Copy !req
2027. That's his car to the finish.
Copy !req
2028. Woo!
Copy !req
2029. Oh.
Copy !req
2030. Come on, lads, where are ya?
Copy !req
2031. That is quite a sight to see.
Copy !req
2032. What's he doing?
Copy !req
2033. Mum, why is he slowing down?
Copy !req
2034. The second and third place
Fords to close ranks.
Copy !req
2035. The three Fords are going
to cross the line together.
Copy !req
2036. Ken Miles slowed down. He waited for them.
Copy !req
2037. - Here are the Fords...
- Dad.
Copy !req
2038. - Lined up in a row...
- No.
Copy !req
2039. - It's all right.
- Dad.
Copy !req
2040. It's all right.
Look, he's bringing them in.
Copy !req
2041. Led by Ken Miles...
Copy !req
2042. He's bringing them
all in together.
Copy !req
2043. Certainly
the leader of this group
Copy !req
2044. - and owner of the Le Mans lap record...
- Good for you.
Copy !req
2045. - Set just moments ago.
- Good for you, Ken.
Copy !req
2046. Yeah! Yeah!
Copy !req
2047. Look at that.
Copy !req
2048. - Well done, Leo.
- You too, Don.
Copy !req
2049. Please stand by.
Copy !req
2050. Final results are under review.
Copy !req
2051. Is explain to me
how he's finished first
Copy !req
2052. and he's not won the race?
Copy !req
2053. Because McLaren
started from further,
Copy !req
2054. so he came in... see, he won.
Copy !req
2055. Look, it's not a tie.
Copy !req
2056. No, because McLaren...
Copy !req
2057. Because McLaren started further back,
Copy !req
2058. he's saying he's traveled
that little bit further,
Copy !req
2059. so he's won and not Ken.
Copy !req
2060. That is bullshit. That's bullshit.
Copy !req
2061. Shel! Hold on!
Copy !req
2062. - Where's the tie?
- Hey, hey, hey.
Copy !req
2063. Where's the goddamn tie?
Copy !req
2064. What?
Copy !req
2065. - You son of a bitch!
- Hey, Shelby!
Copy !req
2066. - You knew!
- No, I didn't know!
Copy !req
2067. - That's enough! Enough!
- Get off me! Hey!
Copy !req
2068. Bruce.
Copy !req
2069. Nice race, mate. Congrats.
Copy !req
2070. Shel!
Copy !req
2071. They robbed you, Ken.
Copy !req
2072. Here is the clarification.
Copy !req
2073. Though the drivers finished
the race in a heat,
Copy !req
2074. McLaren has been ruled the winner
as he started from farther back.
Copy !req
2075. Some bullshit technicality.
Copy !req
2076. Final results. Ford number 2,
driven by McLaren and Amon,
Copy !req
2077. is the winner.
Copy !req
2078. Ford number 1, driven by Miles and Hulme,
second place.
Copy !req
2079. In third place, Bucknum and Hutcherson
in Ford number 5.
Copy !req
2080. I never should've asked you.
Copy !req
2081. Selling cars, huh?
Copy !req
2082. That's what they do.
Copy !req
2083. Well, you promised me the drive.
Copy !req
2084. Not the win.
Copy !req
2085. It was a hell of a drive.
Copy !req
2086. She's a hell of a machine.
Copy !req
2087. Oh, she's fast.
Copy !req
2088. Could be faster.
Copy !req
2089. The 7 liter's sweet...
Copy !req
2090. but, uh...
Copy !req
2091. we still need a lighter chassis.
Copy !req
2092. I was thinking bonded aluminium.
Copy !req
2093. It's a ground-up rebuild,
but if it works...
Copy !req
2094. we can lose a couple hundred pounds.
Copy !req
2095. Well, what the hell are we doing here?
Copy !req
2096. Let me take a shower, get a cup of tea...
Copy !req
2097. ham and cheese cob or something.
Copy !req
2098. We're gonna get
the bastards next year.
Copy !req
2099. Got a bit of fuel left in the tank.
Copy !req
2100. What do you think
of those honeycomb panels?
Copy !req
2101. What you were looking for?
Copy !req
2102. Don't know yet.
Copy !req
2103. She looks pretty good.
Copy !req
2104. There's a point at 7,000 RPM...
Copy !req
2105. where everything fades.
Copy !req
2106. The machine becomes weightless.
Copy !req
2107. Just disappears.
Copy !req
2108. Yeah!
Copy !req
2109. And all that's left
Copy !req
2110. is a body...
Copy !req
2111. moving through space and time.
Copy !req
2112. 7,000 RPM.
Copy !req
2113. That's where you meet it.
Copy !req
2114. You feel it coming.
Copy !req
2115. It creeps up on you, close in your ear.
Copy !req
2116. Asks you a question.
Copy !req
2117. The only question that matters.
Copy !req
2118. Get the van!
Copy !req
2119. "Who are you?"
Copy !req
2120. What do you think?
Copy !req
2121. It's fantastic. Feels really good.
Copy !req
2122. Nice and smooth.
Copy !req
2123. No vibration in the box.
Feels really strong.
Copy !req
2124. You drove it for less than an hour.
Copy !req
2125. You can't tell shit after an hour.
Copy !req
2126. Go for seven even, that'd be 14 all in.
Copy !req
2127. Hey, Shel.
Copy !req
2128. Hey, Shel, that guy,
you know the one in the hat,
Copy !req
2129. he's ready to close on those two 427s.
Copy !req
2130. His and hers. Full freight.
Copy !req
2131. They, uh, flew in from Galveston.
Copy !req
2132. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
2133. Uh, I need you to come outside
for maybe a minute.
Copy !req
2134. And do what?
Copy !req
2135. Be Carroll Shelby.
Copy !req
2136. Tell them a story, spin a few magic words.
Copy !req
2137. What does that mean? "Magic words"?
Copy !req
2138. It means...
Copy !req
2139. come outside and say hello
Copy !req
2140. and make them feel good
about their purchase.
Copy !req
2141. They're getting the damn cars.
Copy !req
2142. That's what they get
for their money, Phil.
Copy !req
2143. Now, either they want 'em or they don't.
Copy !req
2144. - Am I some kind of a lounge act?
- No.
Copy !req
2145. Am I here to talk people into things?
Copy !req
2146. It's been six months, Shel.
Copy !req
2147. Six months.
Copy !req
2148. Sometimes they don't
get out of the car.
Copy !req
2149. Peter!
Copy !req
2150. Peter, come and take the garbage out.
Copy !req
2151. Mr. Shelby.
Copy !req
2152. Oh, hello, Pete.
Copy !req
2153. I remember that wrench.
Copy !req
2154. My dad threw it at you.
Copy !req
2155. I believe he did.
Copy !req
2156. Why?
Copy !req
2157. Oh.
Copy !req
2158. I think I probably said something to him.
Copy !req
2159. Called him a few names.
Copy !req
2160. That's right.
Copy !req
2161. Do you wanna speak to my mum?
Copy !req
2162. Well, I did. Uh...
Copy !req
2163. I came to say hello,
check in on her and...
Copy !req
2164. Then I started thinking that sometimes...
Copy !req
2165. uh, words...
Copy !req
2166. just... are... are not useful.
Copy !req
2167. Tools are useful 'cause
you can make stuff with 'em
Copy !req
2168. and you can fix stuff with 'em.
Copy !req
2169. Here.
Copy !req
2170. Thanks.
Copy !req
2171. Your daddy was, uh...
Copy !req
2172. He was your friend.
Copy !req
2173. Yes, he was.
Copy !req
2174. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
2175. And he thought you was
just finer than frog fur.
Copy !req
2176. Peter!
Copy !req
2177. I think I've gotta go help my mum.
Copy !req
2178. What are you doing here then? Go on.
Copy !req
2179. Bye.
Copy !req
