After the release of "The King of Speed", I got the book "The King of Speed". When I got this book, I read it a little bit, and then I went to watch the movie "Force King". Read the whole book after watching the movie.
The English title of the movie is the same as the title of the book, Ford v ferrari. The difference between the book and the movie is that the movie was shot entirely from Ford's perspective, while the book is written by crossing Ferrari and Ford, with a lot of content about Ferrari. There is very little in the film about Ferrari, except for the Ford-Ferrari "acquisition" plot.
The movie spans from 1956 to 1966 after Shelby won the Le Mans championship in 1959. The book also covers the ending of those racers who "did moths to the flame with their lives" and the ending of important figures in Ford Ferrari. .
Miles and Shelby are the protagonists in the movie, but not in the book.
In 1966 the three cars at Le Mans had to reach the finish line at the same time. In the movie, Shelby asked Miles to make his own decisions, but in the book, he agreed with Ford and told Miles to obey. Shelby regrets it for life is also true.
Addition: The movie Ford II is not crying when shelby feels the racing car, and in the book it is not shelby driving, but miles driving.
Shelby doesn't throw screws or steal Ferrari's timer in the book.
In general, some plots of the movie basically restore the book, and small minor changes or additions are innocuous and interesting.
