Past Grand Prix Cars And Circuits
Ford v Ferrari
Lee Fjellanger Ford was based on building cars and furnishing
transportation that the common working man could afford to buy and
drive. They succeeded, and yes, made money. Ferrari was based on
building luxury cars and racing cars for the rich. They also made money,
but not as much. The same engine blocks that I drove, did win at Le
Mans, and won the championships for Sports Cars and GT cars. We can all
like it, and wish for what we admire.

F1 Corner
Ford v Ferrari
Lee Fjellanger "modded Lola" ? Eric Broadley founded a racing car
engineering company in 1958 but was never able to successfully
capitalize on his ideas to win any major championship. Ford, a company
founded on making inexpensive transportation the common man could afford
to buy, paid him for his ideas and work. After years, and many millions
of dollars, Ford beat the specialty expensive car manufacturer Ferrari
at Le Mans for the Sports Car Championship. Meanwhile their effort also
won Le Mans and the world championship for GT cars.
