    Read the book "Go Like Hell" written by a Playboy editor. It was optioned by 20th Cent. Fox
    and now the news (as presented as found below) is that they are talking to Ferrari tifosi
    Michael Mann who drives a new GTO, about directing. I think a Brit company might be ahead of them, tho, on their development of a TV project about LeMans--though their focus is more the '50s and '60s not just the Ford vs. Ferrari battle.

    Michael Mann in talks for film about '67 Le Mans

    LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Michael Mann is in talks with 20th Century Fox to develop and potentially direct "Go Like Hell," the real-life story of the famous competition between the Ford Motor Co. and Ferrari that led to Ford winning the Le Mans in 1967.


    Ford was the first American car maker to win the world's oldest car race, held annually in France. For years, Ferrari had dominated the contest.

    Based on A.J. Baime's book, the Fox project recounts how a young Henry Ford II -- determined to infuse new life into his family's company -- decided to get into the European racing scene.

    With the help of racer Carroll Shelby and Lee Iacocca, Ford built and designed a car that could take on Ferrari cars, known for their speed and style. They ultimately won the Le Mans.
