Directed by James Mangold and starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale, Ford v Ferrari is the story of the Ford Motor Company’s attempt to beat Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in 1966. It is a race Ferrari had ruled for years.

Bringing in designer Carroll Shelby (Damon) to design the Ford GT, Ford is saddled with driver Ken Miles, the only driver Shelby believes can drive the car to victory.

Let’s take a lap and see what’s what, shall we?
