Was not in yet but they say that it is historical not correct in some parts.
Special customized BRA289
Re: Le Mans 66 film
I haven't been to the cinema for over 20 years, perhaps this will change that.
Cheers, Clive.

Several technical inaccuracies (fiat didn’t buy into Ferrari until ‘69,) and the whole British connection was swept under the carpet somewhat (we designed and built the bloody thing, Shelby merely developed it) but still a great film. Watch it with an open mind and enjoy ( in the same way you’d watch an American made WW2 film if you get my drift )

Respect to the man, but credit where its due.
Worth a watch, opening sequence abs superb, as was all of the driving action.
Not happy about seeing a 17" wheel on a Daytona!

Absolutely loved it.
A real tribute to Ken Miles. Yes some inaccuracies but that didnt spoil it one bit.

Re: Le Mans 66 film
I agree Migge,
I especially like the little touches such as Peters Aston Villa shirt and Kens Aston Villa scarf on the hook in the back of the pit garage.

- also noticed the Lola model kit on the shelf in the boy's bedroom, the copious tea drinking, and the door sequence at Le Mans.
