Hardback Edition.

Long before the Hollywood spotlights turned on, a full-throttle war was waged on the tarmac of Le Mans, destined to define an entire era of motorsport.

Ford versus Ferrari: The battle for supremacy at Le Mans 1966, written by John Starkey, goes far beyond the 2019 cinematic dramatization to offer the definitive and meticulously detailed account of the cars, politics, and motivations that clashed at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Combining the expertise of an insider with the keen eye of a historian, Starkey unveils the true drama behind the epic corporate rivalry that forever reshaped the racing world.

From Henry Ford II's failed attempt to acquire Ferrari, down to the last-minute technical adjustments and the sky-high tensions in the pits, this volume analyzes how the iconic GT40 emerged as both a symbol and a lethal weapon in Ford's mission to dominate endurance racing.

Along the way, readers will have the opportunity to meet and understand the legendary figures at the heart of the story in all their complexity: Enzo Ferrari, Carroll Shelby, Ken Miles, and many others. A masterful tale of pure ambition, engineering, and speed.
