Brilliant
This film is a fantastic film for portraying the atmosphere at Le Mans 24 hours, yes for the die hard motorsport fans it maybe a bit corny but all in all i think it is fantastic to see and hear the old Ferrari P4's!
shareI don't recall seeing any Ferrari P4s in that movie...
Though there is a rear shot of a car that could be a P4.
I'll look closely next time I watch it.
As beautifull a car as the P4 was it was hopelessly obsolete by 1970 and had been replaced by the 512. During the 1970 24 hour race Ferrari exclusively raced 512S models. I'm not sure private teams were even racing P4s either (Enzo was pretty stingy with his race cars).
Today if a P4 were to be auctioned it would bring several million dollars.
Probably Ferrari's best looking race car of all time.
You know what?! The Ferrari P4 was the most beautiful race care Ferrari ever fielded. I remember when I was 13 I fell in love with this car shown on a 'Shell' advertisement.
As a matter of fact, I was watching this movie and near the beginning of the movie, the camera panned over a parking lot for the racing car and I stopped the movie, rewound the DVD and saw what I thought I saw. There appears to be a Ferrari P4 on a trailer. I'm mostly likely wrong though since there were Ferrari cars shown in the movie that bear more than a passing resemblance to the P4 but a closeup of the front intake showed it wasn't a P4 after all. The car still looked very nice but I wasn't sure what kind of Ferrari it was. I even thought maybe it was a P3.
Wonderful movie! I saw it when I was 17 and fell in love with the sights and sounds of the race. I also fell in love (hopelessly unrequited) with Anna Ritter (Louise Edlind). I thought, what a kind, understanding and beautiful wife she was to her husband. But I digress!
I love the P4!!
it's a good one, no doubt.
