Those godlike people

If a cello is good or not, it doesn’t matter if the luthier said it, Du Pre and Yo-Yo Ma said it’s really good; when "Lolita" came out, there was an awkward silence in the critics, and Green, the center of British and American literature, gave the final word: the best of the year; The same is true for racing cars, whether it is good or not, how to improve, racing masters have the most say.

In 1959, the legendary driver and racing designer Carol Shelby won the Le Mans championship. Ford wanted to team up to defeat Ferrari, he had to lead. Shelby's team has gathered talented engineers from Britain, Germany, Italy, France and other countries, especially my friend Miles, who is negative in emotional intelligence and car dealers are outrageous. Not only is the top driver, but the car design is also unique.

Only Shelby understands the value of the cynical, impoverished, and arrogant Miles, the two are a perfect match.

In the Le Mans decisive battle on June 18, 1966, the Ferrari car looked even more beautiful than Shelby's Galaxy Fleet. Miles lamented: Fortunately, it was not a beauty contest, otherwise we would have lost.

In view of the past lessons of blood and tears, Ford II ordered: "Driving cautiously, don't be reckless."

You will suffer from the fate of the foreign king!

Miles is 46 years old, how many fights can he have in his life? Countless sleepless nights of exhaustion and technical tackling, Ford's hundreds of millions of investment regardless of cost, life experience and blood, all need to shine in Le Mans.

With superb driving skills and Ford's strong horsepower, Miles is a great ride.

Ford II hopes to see the shocking scene of three Fords crossing the line at the same time, and Miles, who is one lap ahead, slows down and waits for his teammates. On the afternoon of June 19th, Ford's Galaxy fleet crossed the finish line at the same time, taking the top three. The film reproduced this moment that made Ford people proud.

The rain battle in "Speed ​​Car King" is very exciting. However, for us mortals, perhaps only after watching the documentary "Forever Car God" (2010) can we truly understand how great top drivers like Senna and Miles are. : You can never imagine how horrible and difficult it is to race in the rain. The driver can see nothing in the rain, especially when following other cars. The layers of water and fog rolled up by the huge tires make you feel like you are in the rain. Driving in heavy fog.

In other words, in the rain battle, the top drivers rushed almost blindly, and they were almost god-like people.
