When Ford's attempt to buy Ferrari fell through, the US car giant embarked on a programme to beat the famous Italian marque at the world's most prestigious race, the Le Mans 24 hours.

Ferrari. This updated edition ofThe Ford that Beat Ferrari tells the story of how that mission was eventually accomplished.Development of the GT40: how the prototype Ford GT emerged in 1964 from the previous year s Lola GT programme. The works teams and the GT40: the car s racing exploits in its earlier years, first with Ford Advanced Vehicles (1964), then Shelby American (1965) and Alan Mann Racing (1966).The big ones: this section of the book covers the GT40 s evolution into the 7-litre monsters that brought enormous success, including the first two Le Mans victories with the Mark II (1966) and Mark IV (1967), before becoming outlawed by new restrictions on engine size. The Gulf years: against all expectations, the venerable GT40, now back to 5-litre power, raced on with John Wyer s crack JW Automotive Engineering outfit in the iconic blue and orange colours of Gulf, successes including two further Le Mans wins (1968 and 1969).The production line racer: the stories of the 68 privateers, big and small, who raced GT40s.Chassis and drivers: a data section giving resumés of type designations, chassis histories and all drivers who raced GT40s.
