Trivia
To prepare for his role, Christian Bale took race driving lessons at the Bondurant High Performance Driving School. The school's founder had been a friend of nm10752160, so Bale got to hear stories of the 1960s racing scene. Robert Nagle, Bale's instructor and the film's stunt coordinator, called Bale "hands down the best actor I've ever trained."

Goofs
In real life, Enzo Ferrari sold 50% of his company to Fiat S.p.A. in 1969, not in 1963 after declining Ford Motor Company's buyout offer.

Quotes
Carroll Shelby: [narration] There's a point at 7,000 RPM... where everything fades. The machine becomes weightless. Just disappears. And all that's left is a body moving through space and time. 7,000 RPM. That's where you meet it. You feel it coming. It creeps up on you, close in your ear. Asks you a question. The only question that matters. Who are you?

Crazy credits
Epilogue: "Revered by racing fans worldwide, Ken Miles was inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame. Carroll Shelby became one of the most successful and celebrated sports car designers in history. The Ford GT40, developed by Shelby and Miles, won Le Mans in 1966, 1968 and 1969. It remains the only American built car ever to win the 24 hours of Le Mans."

Racing with a soul

As a Ferrari fan I was pleasantly on the side of a Ford driver, all because of the soul Christian Bale was able to portrayed as Ken Miles, a sports car racing engineer who's hart was beaten in unison with an engine of a race car. Aside of the fact that he lose several kg for the role, but being a method actor it cling a viewer to the screen. Excitement and rage can be feel in every scene. The passion take us to the circuit and made us push the accelerator. What I miss is the surprise of the plot since I knew the story. The cast is brilliant, and finally in one Americans movie I have the pleasure to see casted Italians brilliants actor for the roles of the Ferrari Team, speaking perfect Italian, as oppose as being disappointed when they cannot. This year oscar is going to be a difficult choice.
