Which country is a Savannah racetrack doubling for in "Ford vs. Ferrari?"

I read somewhere that the new feature about the '60s battle between Ford and Ferrari is filming at a track near Savannagh in the next few weeks, though a GA location wasn't in their earlier announcement (which listed four counties in California, and France) Is this track going to doubl for a track in Italy, France, or England? Has anybody seen car haulers carrying Ford GTs and '60s Ferrari race cars? This is the feature film where Matt Damon is playing the part of Carroll Shelby.

 

Wel;here's a case where I can answer part of my own question--found this article in Island Packet News. I deleted mention of other films. I hope some Fchatters sign up to be extras and give us the Inside Scoop on whether Fox has a clue....

Extras casting call
CDC Extras Casting is looking for extras ages 18 and older who either live in Savannah or have a place to stay within 90 minutes of the city.

Extras will be paid $75 for eight hours of work.

Because the movie is set in the 1960s, hair, makeup and clothing sizes are important, the casting call says.

To apply, email three photos — no selfies, no hats and no sunglasses, the casting call says — to [email protected]. The photos should be a closeup of your face, a full-body shot and one from the waist up.

The casting call says you should be wearing “conservative attire, such as a suit, a button down shirt, polo. Ladies in a sundress or party attire. Think CLASSY. TIMELESS. Think you are going to a REALLY NICE PARTY in a park. Only YOU in the photo, no other people in the photo. (60s influenced hair, all the better!!)“

The subject line on the email should be these words exactly: UNTITLED PROJECT - CORE.

In the body of the email, list your name, phone number, city you currently live in, and all clothes sizes. For men, include height; weight; and coat, shirt, pants and shoes sizes. For women, include height, weight, dress size, measurements and shoe size.

There is no phone number listed with the casting call. For more information, visit the casting agency’s Facebook page.
