A corporate rivalry played out on endurance racing’s defining stage

John Starkey’s account centers on the clash between Ford and Ferrari after Ford’s attempt to buy the Italian manufacturer was rejected. Set against the 1966 Le Mans race, it frames the contest as more than a single event: a confrontation between a high-volume American company and Ferrari’s smaller, fiercely independent operation. The book places business ambition, company identity, and international motorsport in the same arena, using Le Mans as the focal point for a rivalry that had reached the track.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Automotive-history readers interested in the Ford–Ferrari rivalry
  • Motorsport enthusiasts focused on Le Mans and endurance racing
  • Readers interested in the business stakes behind racing competition

Book overview

What happened when America's richest car company, producing many thousands of cars per year, went head to head with Ferrari of Italy in the mid '60s?

This is the story of an immovable force coming up against the stubbornness of an unmovable object - that is, Ford against Ferrari. Enzo Ferrari, whose company produced less than four hundred cars per year in 1963, wasn't going to bow to Ford after he had turned down its offer to buy his company. The only place left to duke it out was on the racetracks of the world ... and one in particular: Le Mans '66.
