I loved the movie! I have one question. The idiot ford ex that thought Miles wasn't a PLAYER . The man gave his life as a player. I would say he was the BEST player on the team. SCREWED out of the win. WTH

My wife and I saw it Wednesday evening. She knew nothing about the cars, stories , characters, etc. but she loved it. I really enjoyed it and may have to go again. Very high quality well acted film the whole family could enjoy, something rather rare in this day and time.

We just got back from seeing it. Great movie that any car guy would love.
Howie. In real life the Ford guy was a good guy but someone had to be the bad guy in the movie.

Figure the movie Ford guy was loyal to his boss and company, so not ill-intended.

Wikipedia only lists the other two GT40 drivers and doesn’t even include Ken Miles in the top three results... really?

McLaren and Amon were the winning "team", 2 drivers per car. Miles was second.
This movie has one huge impact on some of us old timers. I can't remember the last time I went to the theatre?? Just called my buddy, he just sat down for the movie, couldn't talk. That guy has NEVER been to a theatre....or at least since the '80s.
